not my blog

New beer of the day today, this time being from a local Baltimore brewery, Clipper City Brewing. Got their Pale Ale from the store across the street and I have to say I am pleased with my purchase. It’s a quite good budget Ale, with a price of only $6.50, and worth every penny. Granted it is not as good as some previous beers of the day, but it is quite good and could be worth a revisit now and again or possibly lead to trying their Gold Ale which was a Bronze Medal Winner at the 2000 Great American Beer Festival. The Pale Ale is quite nice, and has almost no aftertaste. I’d rate the smoothness at about an 8, while overall flavor ranks in at a 6.5 maybe 7. Maybe it’s just me, but I really can’t get any distinctive flavor out of the beer, hence the rather low flavor rating. This seems like it would be a good Sunday football beer or some other sports event drink. If you are ever in Baltimore and want to try out some local stuff, give the Clipper City brand a chance, it just might surprise you.

Well I have officially migrated myself over to Wordpress 2.0. Not bad so far, although I did have an issue with my index.php file. Can’t remember if I had this problem in the past before, but it seems that the index file is hardcoded to believe that the file exists in the ./wordpress/ directory. For someone who has their index file outside that directory it requires a bit of tweaking but nothing major, all I had to do was change line 4 to read:

require(’./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

And then everything was copacetic again. Also, I turned off the “require users to be registered and logged in” to comment as there is a new comment spam tool that is supposed to work really well. I’ll give it a try and see how much spam I have to get rid of and be the judge at a later point. In the mean time, upgrade your blogs and get posting.
