When using the feedwordpress plugin, do not point it back at your site so you ‘download your own posts’. They collide with the original ones and take over the originals… and when you remove the feed it might (and did in my case, because I told it to) stomp on …
Last one for this year, seventeenth time links post in this series (two meta-posts, one announcing the series, one looking for an RSS aggregator to make my life easier — I expect to have more on this in a week or two). I just realized and remembered, I’m hosting the …
Years ago, a friend online told me of the guidelines she was given in designing her character for a supers campaign. Have a way to get to the fight. Have a way to be useful in the fight. Have a way to survive the fight. It occurs to me that …
Thank you very much to Dennis Santana for bringing this to my attention. I’m adding a new feature (I hope) to KJD-IMC to help me with my weekly reading and round-up and I screwed up my permalinks. Once he clued me in that the primaries were broken, I fixed that and it …

Well, what else would be the past tense of “it must be mine!”? Called up the FLGS today to see if they would be able to get a copy of Tome of Adventure Design from Frog God Games, when it was available (since it’s still shown as pre-order at FGG). The conversation …
Another really big day of reading. I was on a course all week — as soon as I write and pass (though I’m not worried about failing) the exam I’ll be a Certified Penetration Test Engineer. Ethical (that is, legal) hacker. However, this left me with little time for keeping …
As best I can tell, tonight I have read 150 blog posts, plus some secondary ones either linked from the primary ones or to gather related articles. I didn’t count the secondary links precisely, but let’s use a low ball estimate can call it ten secondary posts. This means I …
