Yep, folks, just like I mentioned earlier, Javamancy got its scheduled upgrade.
In addition to several color changes, the multimedia box (that’s the “picture box” in upper right hand side) has gotten a few new images that may interest you.
Compared to the previous Javamancy upgrade, this is not as dramatic, but it does provide additional theme [...]

Planned Javamancy Upgrade

Hi, folks!
It does seem unusual to read about a Javamancy upgrade ahead of time, doesn’t it?
But that’s exactly what this is about: a Javamancy upgrade being announced before it occurs…
And no, this is not going to be the new process going forward, but we’re going to be updating the theme elements a bit, [...]

Jane says that WordPress 2.7 development is rolling along fine, but the original November 10, 2008 release date has been pushed back toward the “end of November” (2008).
In light of the upcoming (and there’s no reason at this time to believe otherwise) WordPress 2.7 release, Javamancy will not be undergoing any vast middleware or back-end [...]

Folks: you’ve clamored for it, and we’ve listened: the FeedBurner RSS feed for Javamancy has been officially killed.
After receiving so many E-mails and IM’s about the poor performance of the FeedBurner-generated RSS feed, Javamancy has returned to the original RSS feed mechanism.
Why is Google Hurting the Technology?
Several people have mentioned that part of the problem [...]

Javamancy Updated V

November 3, 2008 at 1:02 PM · 0 comments

This is a fairly hefty update to Javamancy on its visual interface (user interface, ‘natch).
As you can see, the UI has changed to a completely different layout, with a dramatic shift in fonts and content placements. Also, there is a new image “rotator” in place.
And, thus far, no advertisements.
There are further UI customizations [...]

Welcome to November… and Javamancy

November 1, 2008 at 10:19 AM · 1 comment

in Operations

October was quite a tumultuous month, both for the world and even Javamancy.
November is gearing up to be perhaps as exciting, and maybe more so, than October was.
One of the big things we’ll be doing here is, of course, the long awaited redesign.
Something Happened On The Way To…
… publishing the new Javamancy production version.
There was [...]

Flip is Back… at Flipping

in Gaming, Meanderings

… at least, game-wise (in the CNBC $1M Challenge game).
It looks like, about the same time as my post about the ‘game, Flip is getting back into the action with this third iteration of the game. This will probably be an interesting 10 weeks of twisty-turny nausea (and maybe even a bit of vomiting), so [...]

A New Favicon?

October 5, 2008 at 6:34 PM · 0 comments

in Operations

Everybody and their moms seem to have their own blogs. And what’s more: they also have some crazy-crazy favicons.
So why doesn’t Javamancy?
Or rather, why not?

Rather than grab some proprietary icon, or create something original but bizarrely unintelligible, using an open source or public domain icon that already has some sort of initial usage makes sense.
“Why, [...]

Moratorium on Javamancy Comment System

September 20, 2008 at 11:00 PM · 0 comments

in Operations

For a short period, we’ll be having a moratorium on the unregistered portion of the Javamancy comment system. That means that, if you are one of the people who unfortunately are not already registered on Javamancy for comments, posting, forum access, online gaming, polls, contest winning, etc., you will not be able to submit comments [...]
