Licensing + Google Chrome = What’s the Big Deal?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Hot off the heals of the latest internet uproar dealing with Google and the End User License Agreement for Google Chrome, I’ve been thinking a lot about this licensing business. What I have to say is not coming from a legal background, rather coming from a much more “open source” background.

Cool URIs Should Not Change, But I Never Said They Were Cool

Monday, April 28th, 2008

According to some, URIs should not change. And I agree with that notion. However, the problem I have is that I didn’t give much thought into what I wanted to do. I thought this would a purely developmental blog (which is why I hosted it on the domain name that I will be releasing software under), however it quickly turned into a general computer science blog, which I am okay with. So yeah, moved it to my personal domain. It won’t happen again! I hope…

Wordpress 2.5… GO!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

After reading about the release of WordPress 2.5, I quickly downloaded the new version. I have never been one to jump onto the new version bandwagon, but I really wanted to check out the new administrator section. The administrator section, you see, has caused me much grief with it’s use.

Now that I have just completed the upgrade process from WordPress 2.3.2 (I think) to WordPress 2.5 and I must admit that the upgrade was rather painless. WordPress provided multiple options for the upgrade process (a “simple” 3-step process, and an extended process, which I followed). Now that I have WordPress 2.5 installed, I can say that, so far, so good.

The First [Official] Blog Post

Friday, March 7th, 2008

So welcome to the first real installment of my blog entries. As noted on other blogs, many blogs rarely get past the first post… maybe even up to the second. Well here I am on my third post on my blog and I haven’t even begun to get started, so I hope that is a good sign. My name is Mike Megally and this is my blog. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I am a terrible speller and have terrible grammar, so do not be too surprised when/if things like that show up.

Broken Templates

Friday, February 29th, 2008

So I went back to the basic template that Wordpress defaults to since the other template I was using is pretty broken. Also this template (at least) is pretty full featured. The other template I was using would require way too much modification to even get to the point this template is at. I will, however, try to copy the color scheme the other site was using since I am a big fan of that at least. With the color scheme of the other template and this template’s full features, I think it will come out pretty good. Now the question is where do I find the time?

*Edit*
So I decided to go with another premade theme that I liked. Now lets see if this one behaves better than the other one I was using

*Edit 2*
More likely than not, you will be seeing the theme changing until I find one I am happy with.
