Welcome to The Very Daily Weblog of Joshua Blankenship



A note from The Management: Hi, internet. I apologize for being non-existent since Wednesday afternoon. The good news is, I’ve moved to a shiny new server and all should be smooth sailing from here on out (as far as the internets go.)

A note from The Management: This domain had a random issue today involving neither human error nor an abdication of fiscal responsibility. Mysterious, right? Monday was a wash, but tomorrow you can go vote, so somehow in the grand scheme of the universe, it evens out.

A note from The Management: After almost five years of being online, I finally made myself a favicon today.

A note from The Management: I’m working on a ground-up rebuild/evolving of the dot com right now. I’ve learned approximately 9 zillion things since I first built it, so it will hopefully be faster, better and chock full of tasty typographic and grid-based treats. The same, but different. Soon-ish.

A note from The Management: Are you familiar with RSS feeds, PHP and automatic image resizing? Would you like to work with me on a super-simple small project? Would you like to barter said services for really classy large print(s) of illustration work or photography? Email me with relevant experience/interest if so.

A note from The Management: Would it be of any value to you, the reader, if there was a section of my site that aggregated all the content into one RSS feed? (Similar to .com/home, but even including some other stuff like del.icio.us bookmarks and the like?) Also, can anyone actually beta testing Virb 2 confirm that this is what it does?

A note from The Management: Testing out the Wordpress iPhone App at home. No landscape mode for typing lacks merit, but setting up multiple accounts was easy and the interface is quite nice.

A note from The Management: Apparently the sudden influx of traffic to So Serious has led to its temporary death/disappearance from cPanel. I’m trying to figure of what’s going on. Update: Back in business. Sort of… no ftp, but everything on your end should be golden.

A note from The Management: Apologies for the downtime today; not very Very Daily Weblog of me. Some server maintenance snipered most of my sites for most of the day, but everything should be back to normal.

A note from The Management: The Blankenships are off to Dallas for the weekend to watch the fam in The Ascenders play at the Dallas International Guitar Show. Anyone in Texas?

A note from The Management: Mrs. Blankenship and I will be spending a few days in/near downtown Louisville, KY in late May. Wikipedia tells me that Louisville is home to a number of great museums and parks (and a slugger or two), but that’s about as far as my knowledge extends. What should we see, eat, experience, etc. while we’re there?

A note from The Management: I fixed some bugs for Firefox 3 yesterday, and that’s apparently thrown Firefox 2 for a loop today. I’m having an odd Wordpress bug where my first post isn’t styling correctly. I’m trying to track it down. Apologies for that.

A note from The Management: Weekends are always my low traffic days, so I’m going to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5. Patience if things look out of sorts for a bit.

A note from The Management: Help me out here: I’m looking for a simple Javascript image slideshow… just a fade from one image to another. No bells, whistles, extra text, or anything else. Any tips?

A note from The Management: In typography, a widow (or orphan) is a lone word or line of text that is left on the top of a page or column that was continued from a previous page or column. My question: Is there a way to automatically get rid of widows/orphans in Illustrator? This is driving me crazy.

A note from The Management: Apparently a few thousand (?) of you got here today via this USA Today blog post about the CD Cover Meme. Welcome. Feel free to stick around or just snag my RSS Feed to subscribe to posts and try The Very Daily Weblog out for a bit.

A note from The Management: I got my development css file and my live css file switched today, so the styling and floats on comments a few elements have gotten a tad screwy today. I’ll try to look into it later.

A note from The Management: In an effort to make my digital life even more portable and accessible, I have a question faithful readers: Bloglines or Google Reader? 1, 2, 3, go!

A note from The Management: So it “snowed” in upperstate South Carolina last night. The schools districts are closed for the day. Apparently that means our office is, too. Sometimes, having a TV would come in handy. Sigh…

A note from The Management: I have a 2.5-year-old Apple PowerPC G5 tower dual 2.5GHz with 2.5GB of RAM, a 160Gb harddrive, and a fresh install of OS X Leopard 10.5 as well as a 3 or 4-year-old Apple 23″ Cinema Display for sale for less than $2000. If you buy them both, you’ll get a better deal. Just shoot me an email if you’re interested.

A note from The Management: Happy New Year, faithful readers! On this, the 2nd day of 2008, I’ve started work at NewSpring Church. Regular posting will commence momentarily (or as soon as I find my bookmarks folder on my travel harddrive, whichever comes first.)
