Hold, please

My poor, poor blog.  And I was on such a roll.
Just wanted to pop in and say that things have kicked up quite a bit here in the past couple weeks, and I just haven’t had that much time for blogging.
I have a few drafts in the works, however; but I just need to finish [...]

An Addition to the Vision: Tutorials for n00bs

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now, but just decided to make it an official part of my vision/mission for this site:
Tutorials and Help articles.
I suppose it really started with the Installing Rails on Ubuntu 9.10 post.  So as I’ve been spending a lot of time looking for conclusive and truly helpful [...]

What’s Got Me Buzzin’?

…Not Google Buzz.
After hearing all about this crazy new thing, and not being able to play with it until an entire day after some of my colleagues, I am here to say that it really isn’t crazy/cool at all.
Granted, I am VERY new to this whole thing, but my first experience gets me thinking that [...]

Really? Jigsaw Puzzles?

This, my largely overdue next blog post, is going to be a short one.
Kim, my lovely girlfriend, had to work pretty much the whole weekend.  That’s a pretty common occurrence, but this weekend was just a little bit different.
Normally I would spend pretty much the whole time geeking out on the laptop working, trying new [...]

The New DanReno.com

So this weekend I spent time doing quite a few geeky things:

Upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 (Wonderful update, btw)
Got RubyOnRails installed on my Ubuntu machine and… well…  almost running (have some server issues)
Other side web projects
Changed WordPress theme on DanReno.com and modified it to meet my needs

Gotta give my a shoutout to the Woothemes folks and [...]

The planning posts, post?

I’ve been having a bit of a hard time keeping up with my blog for as long as it has been up (maybe you noticed).
I think part of that stems from me not being terribly active on the web; despite the fact that I am literally on the web at least 50 hours/week.  Doesn’t make [...]

Not taking DanReno.com down for development

So a few days ago, I was contemplating whether or not I should take down the site so I could spend time developing it into what I want.
As I stated in my last post, my concerns with doing that were basically around my recent inactivity and how I wasn’t sure taking down the site would [...]

Potentially Taking Down DanReno.com for Development

Hello all!
So as I unintentionally made a false promise to be more active on my site, I have been contemplating taking down the current site you see here and redeveloping the site from concept to design.  I will still use WordPress as my platform most likely, but it just seems that I need to come [...]

It’s been a while… Big changes

There have been a lot of changes for me since my last post. The biggest of which is relocating from the Chicagoland area to the Madison, WI area because of a great job opportunity that I simply could not turn down.
I took a Natural Search Marketing Analyst position at a top-tier natural search company [...]

Hello world!

Welcome to my newly upgraded website! I plan on using it to post up anything I deem interesting enough to talk about. But I think I’ll eventually have it broken out pretty well. You know, all the important things in life: Cars, Music, Football, Photography, SEO and of course ramblings or rants. [...]
