Cleaning up the site, 2012 edition

Oh hi. So, I’ve been cleaning up the site quite a bit lately. Deleted a bunch of unused tags, streamlined the categories, fixed dead links by either removing or updating them, updated the blogroll, updated the plugins, reconfigured the sitemap stuff… So you know, general maintenance really.

I also rewrote a large part of the main music page, and added a few pictures in there to spice it up a little. I think it makes more sense now. Also, remember when I used wayback machine to hunt down some release dates for some of my old songs and ended up editing the WordPress posting dates to set up blog posts in the past? Yeah, that was a dumb idea if there ever was one, so I deleted those 3 posts. And I also rewrote the About page.
And I changed the theme from the old barely working Green Goblin to WordPress’ own Twenty Eleven. Yes yes, I know, I’m a year late. It will be interesting to see what kind of theme the Twenty Twelve will be, maybe I’ll use that if it’s any good.

I was also considering getting a new domain name. I don’t really know why for sure, I’m sure I can come up with a good excuse. Beerlake is kind of tiring. Looking back, that was kind of dumb name to pick for a domain, right? Don’t really know what would be a good new domain though, and I don’t even want to think of all the dead links that would result in killing the image dump that resides in here. So I guess I’m stuck with it, for now at least.

Now, you may ask yourself, why is he doing all this, he never even updates this stupid site. That’s a good question. Maybe I will update more often. Guess you just have to tune in to find out. Mysterious!

The instant noodle diaries part 4

I’m pleased to say that partly due to an overwhelming fan response, and partly because I just happened to find some new flavours of noodles, the diaries shall continue.

stew beef=okay!

I was a little skeptical at the beginning, the smell of the stew beef flavour seemed like it might be a bit too much, but it mellowed out in the end and ended up being pretty good.

The instant noodle diaries part 3

To my own surprise, vegetable flavoured noodles weren’t bad at all. I’m such a racist for thinking they would such without even giving them the chance (to suck). So…

vegetable=okay!

I’m sad to have to tell you this, but this post may mark the end of the instant noodle diaries, as I have now ran out of new flavours to test, of my usual noodle brand at least. I may have to start thinking outside the box on the next one, or just see if shopping elsewhere might do the trick.

Last broken thing fixed after the hosting move

Totally not worth a post really, but I also need to test if the twitter plugin works, as well. So, look at me posting. And hopefully look at me tweeting at the same time?!

I guess I could write something else as well.

Like, something important…?

I don’t know man, I just need to test this shit out. Technically it should work, since I’m using the same settings as before, but better know for sure, right?

Moved hosting from godaddy to 1and1

That’s about all I have to report from the frontlines.

Everything seems to working okay, though I had to change one of my plugins in WP to another one, as the old one kind of stopped working. Hard to say if I could have done anything about that, so I figured I’d just change to something else that does the same thing.

If you see any missing links or broken pages, let me know, maybe I can fix that shit up.
