Windows Ninja – Part 2

So while I’ve been busy setting up domains and hosting for Windows Ninja, I thought about some of the things I could do to get people to read it. So I created a Twitter page (@windowsninja), that was easy enough. Creating a Facebook page for a community/blog? I’m pretty sure a frontal lobotomy is easier. I didn’t realise Facebook could make it so complicated, or restrict some of the things you can do on Facebook if you want a page for your blog. I think I’ve had to recreate the page at least 3 times, because it keeps wanting to integrate with my personal Facebook account.

NO FACEBOOK! I DONT WANT THAT. LET ME MANAGE IT ON A DIFFERENT LOGIN! The whole “use this page as” under the account settings is bullshit. If they were merged together, my windowsninja facebook and personal, if I wrote a post on Windows Ninja, it would post it across to Facebook under my personal account. Give me a break!

I’ve had to essentially set up a Facebook account with different email addresses in a different browser just to do it. It’s almost tempting to use a second Windows install in a partition just to get away from it conflicting.

I will progress!

Windows Ninja

I spent last night, and a few hours this morning pissing about with a wordpress.com hosted blog for something I wanted to start up.  This was due for 2 reasons, I wanted to have a blog where I can put things that I learn, and share with others about Windows Desktop and Server Operating systems. But also because a site I went to regularly, sysadmingeek.com didn’t have some of the stuff I wanted to learn about. But then again, I guess sys admin and network administration are slightly different. So that’s why I ended up with Windows Ninja, I should thank Ben from leetgeek.com.au for the ninja thought. I know they are looking for a Mac Ninja.

I’m finding the wordpress.com hosting irritating though, while there are some added features on wordpress.com. There’s some stuff that limits me as to what I can do, like I do with this blog.

So I think I’ll get some more paid hosting and a domain name, and set it up properly.

An updated theme can be a pain in the arse

I’ve been using the platform theme recently, it felt a little nicer on the eye.

Just did an upgrade and all the colouring has broken, thanks creators of Platform theme! Asshats.

 

Edit: And fixed.

Domain.com.au advert (Cog – Run)

If you’ve seen the Domain.com.au advert with the guy running and runs into a glass wall, there’s a really catchy song. It’s a song by an Aussie band called Cog. The song is called “Run”.

Heres the video, it’s a good song to listen to.

WordPress updates and WHS

I think everytime I login to the site to work on a post, theres a WordPress update, plugin updates, and by the time I’ve done them I forgot what I came here for.

Currently working on a post for my Windows Home Server setup, this includes an “ikea hack”. Which I’ll post along to ikeahackers.net at some stage and see if it’s worthy.
