1400 Comments

LiNuX — Sun, 11 May 2008 01:59:56 +0000

I haven’t attended to moderating the comments on the ZenPix blog for a few weeks now and right now there are 1366 unmoderated comments and it is scary. I haven’t had the time to do this because of the whole last month of college and then my finals.

I will get to moderating comments next weekend and hopefully the number won’t go up too much to give me a headache. And sadly this isn’t the highest number of unmoderated comments I’ve seen, on my WzJz.net blog, has seen up to 14,000 comments which is 10x this.

400+ Posts Made

LiNuX — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:04:32 +0000

I just checked and it seems we posted well over 400 posts already. This is actually the 406th published posts and I actually have a dozen drafts. I guess now you know where some of my random works come from, these are just stuff I started before and never finished.

I am proud to have over 400 posts on this blog now. We have been online for over a year and our average is over 1 post a day which is great for any blog. I was once told having an average of 1 blog post a week is good, but I guess multiplying that by 7 is awesome.

Here is to another 100 to the 500th post, well 96 left.

Comments Finally Moderated

LiNuX — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:26:21 +0000

I actually went through a few hundred comments just now and just deleted anything that looked like spam. Out of maybe 200 comments only 20 or so were approved because they looked legit or actually made sense.

This shows you that only about 10% of any blog’s comments are real and the other 90% is full of crap. I don’t get why people would waste hours just to get their blog comments rejected, very stupid if you ask me.

But I am glad to have finally gotten through the comment moderation.

Blog Upgraded

LiNuX — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:04:29 +0000

Yesterday this Blog was upgraded to the latest version of wordpress 2.5. I forgot to post a post about it yesterday simply because I thought I had done it. Until this morning when I checked and there was no post.

This blog feels much better, especially admin panel wise. It looks great and I find it easier to actually go around a few things even though I have to get used to some parts of it. I am happy to have finally upgraded after a year of sticking with 1.2.

Upgrading This Weekend

LiNuX — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 05:31:37 +0000

This blog will be upgraded to wordpress version 2.3. We are still on 1.2 which is sad but I haven’t found the need to upgrade. But the upgrade shouldn’t be too much of a hassle so I will give it a try. You may experience some errors as well as some downtime but upgrades are necessary to get the best and latest of all important things for the blog.

The upgrade is most likely to happen tomorrow since I am home and I will have a little free time on my hands to do things with my websites. Adding more arcade games to my forum as well as upgrading a few of my old outdated blogs. Just watch out for the latest news here on ZenPix.

No Backup for a Week

LiNuX — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:49:41 +0000

This blog was just down for about an hour or so and it scared me. The server kinda disappeared and I could not connect to it in anyway. I didn’t have a backup since about a week ago. After this post is done another backup will be taken. It should take a few seconds.

Due to other problems and lack of time I can’t really back up every single one of my sites as often as possible. And I don’t post enough to try to save the data. But from now on I’ll be taking daily backups if not every other day.

Hope it doesn’t go down again because this was totally unexpected.

Whopping 400 Comments

LiNuX — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:40:19 +0000

I haven’t moderated comments here for about a week. In the past week the comments have stacked up and reached nearly 400 today. I looked over some random ones to see if they were spam or real and some were real and I approved those. Others were completely spam.

Out of the 400 comments I would say at least 95% of it was spam. I approved what I could find in the past 5 minutes and then mass deleted the rest. If your comment got deleted and it was not spam, I am sorry but there is just too much to look at right now. I have been busy with other things and could not attend to this earlier.

A New Look?

LiNuX — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:14:40 +0000

The ZenPix blog has had this look for well over a year now and that isn’t exaggerating at all. So I was thinking if I should get a new skin and install all the plugins and all we have on the new skin. Probably to celebrate the life of ZenPix for being over a year old. If I do it here I’ll have to do it on WzJz.net as well since that’s over a month older than this blog.

I haven’t decided on if I will do it or not. This design is very simple and it works great so far. It is simple, it is clean, and it is easy to navigate through so unless I can find a skin that lets me do that easily, I doubt I’ll be changing themes. But to give it a new fresh look, I may look for some new wordpress theme this weekend since I am disabled from making my own on this new PC.

Yesterday’s Downtime

LiNuX — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:49:46 +0000

I am sure some of you came by yesterday and noticed this website along with WZJZ.net to be down, non responsive and all your connections to the site probably timed out. The site was still here, the mySQL Portion of the server this blog is one had failed for some unknown reason. I didn’t know what was going on until I decided to check the server status.

It was a scary situation since all HTML sites and other types of sites that did not use HTML worked just fine. It took hours to come back up. I do not have contact information of the server’s host because the new owner is practically worthless and useless to provide his customers with anything. But I am just happy that it is up.

If there are more problems in the future, you can expect a server move, which hasn’t happened in a while on ZenPix, hopefully it won’t come down to that.

Here Until 2009

LiNuX — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:18:25 +0000

I didn’t post this earlier because I had to wait until the transfer actually finished up and it finally has. The Domain ZenPix.net has been renewed until March 2009 so you can bet we will be here for at least another year. And I will probably renew it more times when the time comes to expire again.

So far I have never let a domain of mine expire. Except at the end of March of this year. I have a domain that is just left alone and I have not been able to do anything with it for the fact that it is a long and boring domain. It may be the first to die with me. But just so you know, ZenPix will REMAIN!!
