For better or for worse, I think it’s time I acknowledged that truffin.com is heading into a new phase. Don’t quite know what that phase is right now, but I’m working on it. One way I’m working on it is to start messing with new visual themes. So, don’t worry, the site hasn’t been taken …

All a-Twitter
Because I simply must yet another electronic umbilical cord strung to my navel, I got myself one of those nifty Twitter accounts. Now I can post instant updates on the site whenever/wherever I am–provided I’ve got my cell and service. So…you can check into truffin.com to see what I’m up to, or you can get …
Ert for the Masses
Been away from the blog for a while due to the beginning of the semester craziness AND my redesigning of Cindy Morefield’s website. She’s got a bunch of new work on display (and for sale). The site was launched Wednesday in preparation for an art salon at the new home of Dan and Laura Morefield. …
Random headers!
Ever since last summer, I’ve been enamored with the idea of having random header images on truffin.com. So, now, some 8 or 9 months later, I finally got around to acting on that notion–and it only took 10 minutes. Well, 10 minutes to install the necessary code. Selecting, cropping, and optimizing the images certainly took …
Trying out the WPG2 plugin.
So, yes, I did install Gallery2, and I’ve even got some albums coming together that will be viewable soon. However, to make this at all useful to me, I needed to integrate Gallery2 with WordPress, and the wonderful folks over at wpg2.galleryembedded.com have a nifty tool to do just that: the WPG2 plugin. [BTW, possibly …
Photo gallery in progress
Well, I bit the bullet and made a decision. (wait for appluase) Thanks to a comment from someone at the Gallery team, I decided to go with the Gallery software for setting up a photo gallery. It was a breeze to install. Now I’ve just got to learn how to use the crazy thing. I …
To [dot] or not to .
So, in tweaking the look and feel of truffin.com I decided to try out a growing usage in the punctuation of cyberspace: the bracketed word instead of the symbol. You can see it in action up near the top of the page and in the title bar of your browser. Yup, there it is, [dot]. …
ARRRGH…the choices, man, the choices
So, I get home from a somewhat frustrating doubles round of DG. How two guys shooting fairly well can still combine for a +2 is something I’ll be taking up with the DG gods later. At any rate, my truffin.com project tonight was to install a photo gallery program and get it running. Only, well, …
Sleek New Stuff
Call it the power of advertising. Yesterday, while looking up some info on a gel pen, I noticed Staples was having a crazy sale on flat screen monitors. Now, I’ve been wanting a flat screen monitor for some time. Sure, my 17″ CRT was working fine, but it was like Jabba the Hutt sitting on …
WAMP5, MySQL, PhP, and other horrors
So, after about a month of being on our new host and running WordPress, I really, really, really want to modify/create a unique template for truffin.com. Yesterday during a break from GRE scoring, I stumbled upon the UrbanGiraffe who has a very interesting WordPress Theme Guide. Feeling warmhearted towards my fellow man for making such …
