Choosing a new blog name Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

   Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2008...

The beauty of MySQL REPLACE()

For those of you who might have wondered where the pictures of old posts had gone recently, well, they were in server la-la land. I had forgotten to update my database table to replace the string of my old domain with the new one in over 300 entries!

It’s now a done deal.

Oops. I’m an idiot. It shouldn’t have made a difference since the files are still there. Haven’t had enough coffee this morning. It would seem that the old site is down. I’ll investigate...

Choosing a new blog name

)arrow I’ll make this a sticky post for a while, not having received enough opinions about the supremely essential issue of this blog’s name. I’m considering renaming this fine piece of unnecessary litterature from The Portal to either Godspeed (see a few entries below) or the newcomer The Chronicles of Vinnick, which hopefully sounds so completely pompous that it’ll be funny. And of course having seen the movie helps too ;-)

Comments and suggestions welcome!

    « what about « Chronicles of a fleeting flea » ? or « The vanishing ghost » or
    « The bittersweet diary of an outcast octopus » ? »

    « Well I kinda like « The Bittersweet... » myself, but I guess that means none of my suggestions really sit too well with you... »

    « You’re wrong there. I like both. I was just trying to exercise my imagination. Eso dicho, what’s « Vinnick » for ? »

    « Like I said, you’d have to have seen the movie. The Chronicles of Riddick, sci-fi, Vin Diesel, not your kind of thing... ;-) »
