  Redirect WordPress Posts from an Old Domain

  Recently I had a prob­lem when I moved my blog from blog.fantikerz.com to fantikerz.com. I had far too many links on other sites that still looked like http://blog.fantikerz.com/?p=261, and wouldn’t redi­rect to the new blog’s loca­tion. I wouldn’t even know where to start if I had to change all of those.

  Instead, I threw together a sim­ple redi­rec­tion script that I thought I’d just share in case any­one needed it. It’s noth­ing fancy at all, and stu­pid easy to set up. There are many ways of doing this, and in my opin­ion, this is the easiest.

  Free, Open Source Alternatives to Expensive Programs

  Wish you could cre­ate vec­tor art in Adobe Illus­tra­tor, edit videos in Sony Vegas, or just play a game of Halo 2 on your PC, but can’t afford the pro­grams? We’ve all been there, and it sucks, honestly.

  Thank­fully, there’s a whole genre of soft­ware com­prised of free solu­tions to the oth­er­wise costly main­stream alter­na­tives. This mag­i­cal genre is called Open Source.

  After the break are a few pro­grams that you may find use­ful, with often just as many fea­tures as the costly alternative.

  Yet ANOTHER Site Re-Design

      I know, I’ve already com­pletely re-vamped the site this week, but I was really hat­ing that black and gray theme I had going on, so I came up with a new one. Some things still don’t fit (the nav­i­ga­tion but­tons and the links at the bot­tom of the page for exam­ple), but I’ll change those down the road… I’ll promise you this time that this design will last at least a week this time…

  I Love Duals

  Yea, I love my dual mon­i­tors… If you have the abil­ity to hook up another mon­i­tor to your com­puter, I sug­gest you do… It was only recently that I got around to hook­ing another 15 inch LCD up to my lap­top, mak­ing 30 inches of avail­able screen real estate. This makes it really easy to multi task.. For instance, right now I’m writ­ing this on one screen, while watch­ing the movie Alive, on my other screen. Alive is a good movie btw…
