12/17/02--01:34: Poor little Greenie… (chan 1515135)

That’s a musical reference you’re probably not familiar with. So, I can really post from work? Technology is a wonderful thing.


12/17/02--01:51: A couple of questions for Green Boy (chan 1515135)

Does this text appear anywhere? Is this just some kind of “notes to self” feature?Is there a way to reset the clock so the right time appears? (I tried manually editing the time for this post… and the post didn’t appear! The system was probably “holding” it for the entered time.) Also, how do I [...]

If you’re new to the site, please note that at least for now, you have to register before you can post comments (there’s also a link for registering at the top of the page). Once you’ve registered, just click the “Comments” link beneath a post to add your remarks. If you want to give us [...]


05/24/08--11:08: Welcome to Needlenose 3.0! (chan 1515135)

We’ve switched over to the WordPress version of the site a bit prematurely due to some technical issues. For the moment, links to Needlenose 2.0 (y’know, the site that was here yesterday) are hosed, but Fubar is working to get that straightened out by sometime in 2009. Also, the present site design isn’t final, so [...]


06/10/08--22:51: *CAUTION* Don’t use IE with Needlenose! (*OK now — see update*) (chan 1515135)

Needlenose was hacked by reactionary spammers! I got the login stuff fixed, but when using IE some weird redirect to a malware site occurs. Can’t figure out how to fix it. Mozilla appears safe, or any non-Microsoft browser. UPDATE (by Swopa): Good news — Green Boy found the offending code, and IE is now safe [...]


06/11/08--21:57: So, I came home from work, and someone had redecorated the house without telling me… (chan 1515135)

I don’t know if this is our permanent new look or not. Hell, I don’t even know who did this. But my guess is that one of my co-bloggers (probably Fubar) decided the best way to overcome our technical problems of the last couple of days was to start fresh with a new design theme. [...]


06/23/08--20:15: You are here (chan 1515135)

Via Kevin Drum, I learned this evening of the latest(?) attempt to “map” the blogiverse… and, in an appalling lapse of judgment, Needlenose is included! (We appear to be an asteroid being sucked in by the gravitational pull of Eschaton, which is directly above us, but I don’t know if that’s intentional.) So, whatever our [...]


09/25/08--00:46: We’re back… sort of (chan 1515135)

Our hosting service notified us yesterday that our site had been hacked and that the prudent thing to do was for them to shut it down until we had a chance to clean things out. We took the opportunity to start with a clean slate: a fresh database, the latest blogging software, and a new [...]
