I woke up this morning hoping to get an article out before my day gets busy, since I had the time and nothing else planned. I figured I would get something simple up to fill the gaps between those multi-article days. I loaded up the website only to discover nothing. Well, nothing but a 500 …

WordPress Doesn’t Make It Easy Sometimes
Some of you might have noticed that I had to basically re-publish my article earlier on the NASA film “Skylab – The First 40 Days.” This was due to WordPress, the blogging software used on Xadara, being a bit of a pain in the ass due to me having to edit a few things around. …

So, Postimage Might Not Be As Good An Image Hosting Solution As I Thought
I apologize that I don’t have more time to go into this in this article, but I wanted to throw this out there quickly enough for what it’s worth to other bloggers and those interested in the subject. Last year Photobucket began charging for the ability to hotlink images – something bloggers have been using …

The Past And Future Of Xadara
As I’m sure a regular reader will be able to tell, the past year has been quite an interesting one for Xadara. Not only did it mark the first full year of nearly daily writing, which I’m almost certain resulted in nearly 400 articles (in and of itself quite the achievement, I think) but it …

Something Isn’t Quite Right Around Here – An Update
So, I’m certain some regular readers will notice something is a little off about the site. It’s been that way for a while, actually, ever since upgrading to Graphene 2 – some elements of the site haven’t rendered correctly, and it’s honestly caused more trouble than you can imagine. So, to make a very long …

Web Servers, Inodes, And Doing What I Want Online
This one is going to get a little bit technical, so try to keep with me. As with the vast majority of the web, this site is hosted on a Linux based server. Of course, like any computer, this has practical, and logistical limitations. My hosting package is pretty nice and quite liberal with what …

The Graphene Theme 2.0 Killed My Website!
Seems like every few months I have something happen with this site that makes me have to either nuke a feature, or go into some kind of emergency “find an old version and throw it on the server” moment. Previously, an update to my podcast management software of choice wound up no longer working with …

What’s Coming For July 2017 On Xadara
I thought updating readers to plans for the upcoming month would be a good idea, and so, here we go! This will probably become a regular thing, if only to fill article space, so, eh, take it for what it is. First up, we have a return to sharing some old videos about various subjects …
