The main website migration has started. So far I’ve moved DNS and the main www.knot.org page to the new server. I’m going to start moving blogs as I am able. If you have a blog on knot.org, please be sure to contact me to make sure your site makes the migration.

WordPress plugin: withings-scale
I just released a WordPress Plugin for the Withings WiFi Scale. The plugin just allows you to easily embed the Withings smaller gadget into the sidebar of your WordPress blog. It should be appearing in the WordPress plugin gallery sometime in the near future. You can download it now (assuming you have a Withings Scale …
Wedding Update
I’ve been particularly quiet these last couple of days because I’ve been working on the new wedding website. Well that and slogging through some data analysis for a journal article. Anyway, head on over there and let me know what other CSS nightmares I’ve caused. http://tying.the.knot.org PS: No, I didn’t plan that when we got …
A Couple Blog Stats

I’m now on twitter. I’m going to try to be more proactive about writing updates by using twitter. Since they’re smaller and more lightweight hopefully it’ll be easier for me to generate posts. You can follow my exploits in the sidebar to the right, or at: http://www.twitter.com/SandroFouche. Also, if anyone wants to recommend twitter tools …
Photoblog feeds updated.
This really only concerns 1 or 2 people in the world, but I just updated the theme for the photoblog to include thumbnail images in the feeds. Yea!! Anyone who is using this theme, and would like the current update, should go ahead and contact me directly. Someday when I’m bored, I’ll write up real …
Comment Spam

What’s odd about this is that I have comments “turned off” for old articles (and everything in the photoblog is old. Even weirder is …
Fixed comments
I accidently broke the comments system earlier in the week. I finally noticed it, and it’s fixed and working again.
