No Runny Eggs

Finally decided that the “live preview” much like on sites such as From Where I Sit and Spotted Horse 2 was too good to keep off the site. I’ve gone “minimalist” on my install of Softius’ Comment Live Preview, so you won’t see the “you say” line like you do over at the 2 blogs I mentioned.

Kate has moved An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings to WordPress – http://olbroad.wordpress.com/.

Please update your feed readers and blogrolls accordingly.

Sean Hackbarth has switched The American Mind from Movable Type to WordPress. While the URL to the main page is the same, the feed URL is different. For some reason, at this moment, simply typing TAM’s main address into your favorite feed reader doesn’t work, so either mash the feed read on his page or stuff this address – http://www.theamericanmind.com/feed/ into your feed reader.

Some days, it’s worth it to pay for your own server. This is one of those days, as the various Blogger/BlogSpot blogs are undergoing multiple server errors (both 500 and 502).

Thanks to my lazy ways, I’ve needed to explode the blogroll to add a few worthy blogs:

– The FRAUDfiles
– Red State
– Disgruntled Truck Driver
– Michelle Malkin
– The Right Side of New Berlin
– Hot Air

If you’re not already reading these blogs, you should be.

I created a new category called Grand Theft Courts to consolidate my various posts on the attempts by Team Craps to rob the Green campaign of between $468,000 and $1.24 million (the amount depends on how successful their multi-part effort is).

The Asian Badger got most of the things that caused him to put a ground stop on his blogging taken care of much quicker than the 4 months he predicted. He’ll even have a special guest blogger from time to time (no, not me; you’ll have to read the post to find out who). In my best ’70s bad sitcom singing voice – Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaack!

I whacked a few blogs on Sunday, so it’s time to add a few:

• Like I said below, silent E speaks got added earlier today.
• Gibbsville Unincorporated reincorporated with the react to the revalation the State Doylie Elections Board took its marching orders from Team Craps.
• On the strength of Dan and Keith, the Early Spin Blog finally got noticed. Sorry about taking so long; you guys are up against Bob and Brian after all, and there’s a ball and chain who shall remain nameless (coughNicolecough) that had her lieberal pals rig the contest.

It’s good to wield the lupa.

I’ve been trying a different permalink structure in an attempt to limit cleaning out my spam trackback box. Unfortunately, that structure also appeared to have killed all the trackbacks. I’ve gone back to the WordPress standard and am trusting (once again) my anti-spam defenses. That’s broken the links to posts done under the customized permalink structure. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Change #1 – Rendezvous With Destiny finally popped up on my radar screen with enough intensity to show up on the roll. Troy’s another Waukesha County Stormtrooper who, among other things, came out of his holdout at an unfortunate time.

Change #2 – The Big Pilot decided to depart the Cheddarsphere. Damn it; he will be missed. At the same time, the Asian Badger has called a hiatus. At least he didn’t pull the plug like he did last time.

I’ve also done some culling of dead links and dead blogs.

Whether you’re a pilot or a conservative, The Big Pilot is a great read. I’m just a bit slow in updating the roll.

Chris took the full-fledged WordPress plunge, got himself a domain of his own, and moved Spotted Horse. You’ll have to read why he kept the “2” over there, but first, update your blogrolls and RSS feeds.

– Please welcome Neo-Con* Tastic to the roll.

– Because my Captcha seems to be blocking not only comments but trackbacks/pingbacks (I’m sure I had a few legitimate ones), I’m trying things without it again. Maybe I got off the radar screens of a few of the chimps trying to recreate Shakespere in the comments section.

Revisions/extensions (2:58 pm 8/11) – reinstated the captcha; the monkeys are as bad as ever.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because steveegg is out fishing until 9/12. This is not a drill; drills go Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker-Black-and-Decker.

It never ceases to amaze me what does and does not draw comments. Let’s take a quick look at a pair of recent posts here on No Runny Eggs. First, we have a post about weather that was in the process of rolling through as it was written Sunday morning. It didn’t even have any cool pics or “here’s the rain” in it (that was still to the north and west as it was posted), but it still drew 4 comments, the last a day after.

Next, we have a semi-humorous take on the upset of the Sausage Racing season. If you’re not a regular reader (which means you probably got here from the L Badger Carnival over on RealDebateWisconsin, it’s stuff that’s usually found on Dennis York’s blog. Despite it being funnier than the average post here (that’s not saying much :-) , it hadn’t received a single comment as of Tuesday evening when this missive was sent out.

‘Tis a good thing I don’t give too much of a flying bomb about stats ;-)

The disk jockey has made a mistake (Hey Jude!).
One moment please.
We are now recycling No Runny Eggs.
Now back to No Runny Eggs, already in progress.

Something that wasn’t supposed to see the light of day until next week Thursday accidentally made it out early. I knew I should’ve upgraded to the Emergency All-blogging System ;-)

Back August 12. I MIGHT have an extended post or two show up on the Emergency Blogging System, but don’t hold me to that because there’s something less than 12 hours before I head out of town.

I have installed a captcha device. Hated to do it, but I’m tired of having to go through 200+ spam comments a day from bots that figured out how to leave comments.

I’ve actually had some problems with my host, Yahoo. I THINK I have them solved now.

Revisions/extensions (6:48 am 6/21) – still having problems. Shot off an angry e-mail to Yahoo Customer Care; let’s see if that makes this place reliable again.

Revisions/extensions part 2 (8:08 am 6/21) – Manually upgraded to 2.0.3, and things seem to be running peachy…for now.

Just make sure that, if you read while at work, your co-workers are all right with the sounds of uncontrolled laughter before mashing here or on the link in the roll.
