EdB's road trip test blog

Was gonna do a quick little 5 hour road trip today, but wow am I ever tired. Instead I'm trying to write up an email summarizing what I think of how b2evolution v2 feels to use. More or less. I figured I'd take a break from it and look back at this bl… more »

200 more miles and I'm in the front door. A while ago actually, but whatever. Nice road trip. The car is at a car wash getting too much spent on pampering it. And by extension me the next time I drive it. I'm thinking that'll be tomorrow but I need… more »

Wi-fi should be everywhere and it should be free. I'm using someone's signal again. From Dennys. I should have this sort of connectivity at every rest area along the highway. I should have instant access without reservation at parks and libraries. A… more »

1040 miles in 15.5 hours. 67 miles an hour average over the day. From Russellville AK to Holbrook AZ - not bad. Now I'm in a Motel6 enjoying their wifi signal. Motel6 doesn't advertise free wi-fi, but every now and then you can get a signal because w… more »

Hot damn it's almost 7am T-bird time and I'm almost on the road. I don't feel like working towards another record day, but you never know ... ;) more »

I forget but right now I'm thinking about real estate above the post window. When I open a new tab in FF I don't see the post button anymore, so I'm thinking about real estate again. The line that says "New post in blog: EdB" can go at the beginning of… more »

I was thinking when posting from the phone that it's too bad a skin can't tell the back office what the maximum width of the main body and the sidebar is in pixels so that file manager could be told "post this only shrink it to fit if it's too large". E… more »

:D 970 miles in 15 and a half hours: further faster than the best day on the way out. It's beatable, but one would have to plan and execute flawlessly. Like fill up the night before and get out of where ever you are within an hour of getting up. 2 to… more »

Pretty much on the 11 hour mark and I've got a bit over 660 miles behind me. 920 in 16 came from an average of 57 per, so right now I'm about 40 miles ahead of that pace. But I'm not moving because I'm waiting for a waffle from Waffle House. Here in .… more »

7 hours into the day and I'm on track for a helluva ride. Top went up at 355 miles. Gotta remember sunblock next time... more »

New Plan: go fly. That means get home, and that means get off I80. Looks like I78 then I71 are going to be my new friends today. Today being a potential record setter even though I've been up and putzing about for 3 hours. I wonder how stuff looks in… more »

The evobar is cool but something about it is confusing me. I think having the evobar and the tabs is the thing. Like maybe because the evobar has some drop-down options and the tabs usually have subtabs so I guess I don't know which button to push when… more »

Took 3 hours 45 minutes to get out of NY and all the traffic from the 2-lane-closing accident on the George Washington Bridge. 60 lousy miles in almost 4 hours :( Ended up with a lousy 450 in 10 hours, and no clue how many more miles to go. This car… more »

Francois you probably know this, but after posting something I get an error in my sidebar. Undefined variable: cat_modifier in /the_path/inc/widgets/widgets/_coll_category_list.widget.php on line 219 It says a couple of other lines too but I figure t… more »

That's what I miss about the east coast. It's green. Lots of shades of green. And wet. Lots of moisture. Everything is covered with dew every morning and people here can't wait for it to rain again. I don't understand. It rained 2 weeks ago. Go f… more »

Made it to where I was going around 10p local time. 600 miles finished the trip. I probably got photos of stuff, but the stupid phone isn't worth messing with so, there you go. Did the birthday party thing. Hooray! Mom was quite surprised. Hooray!… more »
