DNS Apologies

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

Sorry if you tried to reach the site (or the feed, or tried to email the skaroff.com domain for that matter) at some point today and couldn’t. I moved the dns hosting from MyDotNames which I had had nothing but problems with, to GoDaddy. Everything’s working now. GoDaddy for some silly reason does all navigation [...]

Another new look

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

I’m trying out Liew Cheon Fong‘s modified 3-column Kubrick theme since the sidebar was getting so long between the blogroll and the delicious links. What do you think? Is it too much? I’m still trying to figure out a text alignment that looks right over there. I’ve also integrated Kryogenix’s Nice Titles javascript/css scripts.

del.icio.us

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

I’ve added my del.icio.us links feed to the sidebar using the WordPress RSS Link List Plugin. If you’re not familiar with delicious (I’ll drop the dots for now) it’s a social bookmarking site. Basically it allows you to store your bookmarks (or Favorites) on the site, as well as tag them based on category, and [...]

He’s BAAACK

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

Unfortunately all I’ve got to work with is Paint.NET. But I managed to put something ok together and now we’ve got Homer back on the page. Things are starting to fall in place. It’s all happening. G. Love once said “Caught a chill vibe/Orange juice in my ride/Wawa’s to the right/They got a beverage inside.” [...]

Hello world!

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

I’ve moved the site over to WordPress from the yuck that was Blogger. Bear with me while I work everything out. I’ve moved the content from the old site over but there’s plenty of work left to do.

Yet another mobile blog

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

I’m testing out Blogger’s new mobile blogging service which allows you to post text and images to your blog using your cell phone. This picture was just taken with my camera phone and uploaded using the fantastic Chatter Email client. UPDATE: Well it took a couple of tries to get everything right, but it seems [...]

Success!

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

I’m amazed that it happened as quickly as it did, but a little over a week after starting this new home on the web, a google search for ‘Skaroff’ yields this site as the first hit. I think it’s mostly thanks to SDR‘s link back after my podcast entry. But rest assured my faithful readers, [...]

I think my mind is on the blink

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

Like just about every other (male) college student, I used to once delight in sleeping until 2 pm. You knew you were fulfilling your constitutionally obligated duty to waste the whole day when you would barely experience daylight. It may have been troll-like, but man was I rested. But then, like a light switch had [...]

Jump in. The water’s fine.

Friday, March 18th, 2005

Welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy your time at my new home on the web. I created my first website back in 1995 or 1996 (http://op.net/~jester). At the time, the web was a new phenomenon for most of us and Netscape had just introduced background graphics in HTML. I had only recently gotten myself [...]
