It’s still chilly out there

I posted this over at the Salvation Army Community Centre’s blog and I thought I would link to it here.  There has been a lot of media reports about guys who are sleeping outside in –40 below weather.  I know some of them personally and the guys do have options for places to sleep.  If [...]

Site Notes

Two things of note. Since I moved from Blogger, I have neglected to update the copyright information on the site.  As stated in the footer, the site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 Canada License.  Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available here.  It means that you can use [...]

Comment Moderation

First of all, I am really thankful for the kind comments and prayers that you have left regarding Oliver.  It means a lot to Wendy, Mark and I.  Since I have moved to WordPress from Blogger, I have used Akismet to combat Trackback and comment spam which has caught 55,253 pieces of comment spam at [...]

It’s alive

I am not sure what happened but I accidently let JordonCooper.com expire.  I went to immediately renew it but somehow I ended up purchasing jordoncooper.org and never did renew jordoncooper.com.  Today I realized what happened and now I have two domain names.  I am trying to decide if I should just have jordoncooper.org redirect to [...]

Now on Twitter

The last couple of days  I have been having a running discussion with Karen over at The Hedge Society on Twitter about why Apartment Therapy doesn’t use Twitter.  Several of my favorite design sites all use Twitter and I follow many of them over at The Cooper Cabin.  During our discussion made me realize that [...]

How to Block Cell Phone and SMS Spam

I have posted about this before but some idiot spammer is using a fake @jordoncooper.com address as a return address to spam cell phones with.  Since this costs some people money, they are upset but as I have said, I don’t have anything to do with it.  This is a personal site that doesn’t sell [...]

Spam from jordoncooper.com

I have had a lot of complaints lately about spammer sending out SMS text messages from jordoncooper.com.  I’ll set the record straight, this is a personal domain that no one spams out of.  The site doesn’t sell anything, it doesn’t offer any services, it has no revenue stream what so ever.  Like a lot of [...]

A brush with death

Wow, I just about lost almost 9000 posts and seven years of my life here a couple of hours ago when my WordPress installation crashed.  I really need to backup my database.  Anyways the blog is back online sans some images and until the weekend will likely have some damage to it.  Until then there [...]

#3 Urban Ministry blog of 2008

This is kind of cool, I was the #3 urban ministry blog of 2008 by the folks over at Urban Ministry.org.  While it is nice for the ego, it is based on some flawed ranking criteria but it’s nice to be mentioned on the same list as people I respect.

Twitter

The results are in.  Both Wendy and Daniel Miller hate my Twitter updates on the website.  I’ll move them to a sidebar.

New Design

I took some time yesterday to keep tweaking the site and the design to make it a little more personal. The header images are all my photos and over the next couple of weeks I will be adding some more to the rotation.  I haven’t decided to keep them rotating or change them up monthly [...]

“First”

Busted plug-in

My blog isn’t working that well right now.  I assume it is a misbehaving caching plug-in.  Practically it means that my homepage isn’t updating right as well.  Comments aren’t working either which seems to be an overly aggressive Akismet plug-in which giving me a lot of false positives, even for long time commenter’s.   Even if [...]

Tweaking the Site

I am on partial vacation this week and have had some time to tweak the site a bit.  The big difference is you can see an ugly photo of my that is about five years old (I really need a new one taken) and I have added some icons to my other places that I [...]

Live Blogging Christmas Eve

With the power of the iPod Touch and the fact that I won’t be far from the interweb this year, I thought I would live blog the minutia of the holiday season. 7:00 a.m. :: Good news, the car started. 7:45 a.m. :: Used the command start to start the car again. 8:05 a.m. :: [...]
