That being said, anybody looking for this week’s Blog Tools Review can find it on FuglyCode.com.  This week I detail a very important anti-spam plugin called Akismet, which you can read here.  Note that, as I stated previously, Blog Tools Reviews will now only be posted on FuglyCode.com, so head on over to the new site every Wednesday at 12pm EST for your weekly dose of blog plugin fun!

Also, after almost a year of hiatus, Rise of the X-Syndicate is back with Chapter 7 – The Fall.  I found this chapter extremely difficult to write, partly because I wasn’t to certain how I wanted to present the conflict in the chapter, and mostly because it truly is a backbone for so much of what’s to come.  With it now published, I feel like I’ve jumped a huge hurdle, and future chapters are all starting to fall into place.

And finally, although I am spending much time on FuglyCode right now, I still have big plans for this site.  I intend to begin adding new content over the next few months, which will allow the site to grow into a much more rounded and interesting site.  I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll leave it at that for now.

Talk to y’all later!

I’ve been working on this new site for a couple of weeks now, and noticed that the content of the Blog Tools Review articles was much more suitable for this site than for Folaji.com.  And so I’ve ported the series over, and will continue on publishing Blog Tools Reviews everyweek on FuglyCode.com.

With the launch of the new site, I’ve not yet had the chance to publish Chapter 7 of Rise of the X-Syndicate.  I can say for a fact that it will be posted this week, so keep an eye out for a new Chapter of this World of Warcraft story.

In the meantime, I leave you with a montage of my dog Koji, playing with an 8 week old black lab named Ramsay.  Aren’t they adorable?

If you didn’t know, my laptop is my refuge, where I plan and write most of my stuff (I can’t type on my desktop cause it has too many games, and I get quickly distracted…)  So with it back up and running, expect some Rise of the X-Syndicate posts in the near future (and maybe some Soulhers stuff too…!)

You can read Chapter 6 fo the Rise of the X-Syndicate here.

You can read Part 3 of Chapter 5 of Rise of the X-Syndicate here.

Part 2 of Rise of the X-Syndicate’s Chapter 5 – The Front Line is now available online.  In this installment, we follow new characters as they fight for their lives on the front line of a great battle between the Horde forces of Tarren Mill and the Alliance Forces of Southshore.

Who will ultimately win the battle? That remains to be seen…

As for the website upgrade and Herman and Dugar posts: I’m sorry.  I’ve learned a very important lesson and that is to never promise that you’ll upgrade a website engine during holiday vacation since you never know what’ll happen (like catching a cold, buying an electric guitar, watching a couple of movies like the Simpsons Movie and a remake of Halloween ).

So the WordPress 2.7 installation is pushed back, and will hopefully happen sometime in January 09.  As for the Dugar and Herman posts, they will be online this week.  Both Fyrewind and Alisttair had provided their final parts a while back, so its just a matter of me posting them on the site.

Anywho, there’ll be some DnD adventuring tonight for sure, so for everyone in the adventuring party, see you around 7pm.

Oh, and Happy 2009 to everyone!

Enjoy!

That being said, Chapter 3 of Rise of the X-Syndicate is now available for any readers out there that are wondering what happened to our unnamed undead hero.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go walk the dog (she’s looking at me as though her blatter is about to explode).  Then I think I’ll make myself a good cheese omlet, with hashbrowns, toast and a big glass of orange juice, and sit by my computer and watch some Colbert Green Screen Challenge Videos for an hour or two.

I really do enjoy these lazy weekend mornings…!

Enjoy!
