Information about Political Irony

hacked again

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

This site got hacked again. Of course, it always happens when I’m out of town. I got it back up again (by completely reinstalling WordPress), but I haven’t finished restoring it completely to the way it was before. Bear with me for a few days.

Bark More, Wag Less Occupy Denver

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

If we want Occupy Wall Street to be the movement our dogs think it is then we should let the dogs hold the leash! Shelby, more person than B of A, represents Occupy Denver in opposition to the farce of corporate personhood Occupy Denver Press Release: “In response to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s insistence that [...]

International Man of Irony

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

This post will stay at the top for a while. Look below it for newer posts. Political Irony is going to have someone else posting stories for a month. Why? Because I’m leaving the country on a trip. I’m going to go see what’s up in the Middle East, including visiting Egypt, Israel, and other [...]

Updating Website

Saturday, September 10, 2011

I’m going to be working on the website today, so if you have any problems accessing the site, just come back tomorrow. –iron knee UPDATE: Well, the site was hacked pretty badly, but I managed to reconstruct it. I’m going to be looking for a new (more secure) place to host this blog.

Sysadmin?

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Some of you might have noticed that Political Irony has been slow lately, and even been unavailable on and off. Yesterday I found some exploit code that had been hacked into the site and removed it, but it still isn’t behaving well. It has been almost a year since I rebuilt the site from scratch, [...]

Your comments lost

Friday, June 10, 2011

Last night, someone hacked my website and destroyed the WordPress database. Luckily, I had a backup that was less than 24 hours old. I restored the database from the backup. While I did not lose any of my posts, unfortunately, any comments made yesterday were likely lost forever. Feel free to repost your comments if [...]

On the road again

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

I’m traveling again for a few weeks, and Internet service is a bit spotty, so I’ll post when I can. Feel free to send me good stories to post — leave them in the comments, so others can see them!

Comments?

Sunday, October 3, 2010

The number of comments has fallen off dramatically since I installed some new anti-spam software, and I just got an email from someone saying they were unable to leave a comment. I’ve disabled the new software for now. Please let me know if you have any problems with the site.

Let me know if you have any problems with the website

Sunday, September 19, 2010

I’m testing out a fancy new anti-spam, caching mechanism that is supposed to speed things up for regular visitors, while making things much more difficult for spammers and other “evil doers”. Unfortunately, things can always go wrong, so if you have any problems with the site, please let me know — either leave a comment [...]

Missing comments

Thursday, July 29, 2010

There seems to be a bug that makes any comments sometimes appear, and sometimes not appear. I’m not having much luck tracking down the bug. Might be some kind of caching bug. My apologies. It does seem that if you are logged on to the site, you will see the comments, and if you are [...]

Happy Birthday to Political Irony

Sunday, May 9, 2010

My inaugural post to this blog was two years ago today. At the time I had no idea it would become so popular, and figured that readership would drop after the presidential elections. Ironically, the readership actually took off shortly after the election. I hope you enjoy a little humor with your politics. Thanks to [...]

Vacation

Thursday, May 6, 2010

As I mentioned, I’m away for a week (partly work and partly fun). Internet access might be spotty, so I might not be able to post as much as I usually do.

problems with comments

Sunday, March 21, 2010

I have to apologize. Something has gone wonky with my commenting system and ALL comments are being labeled as spam. I’m trying to fix the problem, but meanwhile my only option is to manually go through my spam queue and save non-spam comments. But this means that your comments will not appear immediately. Unfortunately, turning [...]

Political Irony on the move

Friday, February 5, 2010

I’m starting the process of moving Political Irony to a new host. Depending on how things go, this should happen in the next few days to a week. The new server will have much greater capacity, so things should run smoother (it’s tough running a popular blog!). When I do the actual switchover, Political Irony [...]

Political Irony may need a new home — any suggestions?

Saturday, January 9, 2010

[In case you are wondering -- I'm continuing to post new stories, they appear after this one.] When I first started this site, I never expected it to become so popular. In fact, I thought people would lose interest after the election, but instead readership has kept going up (and up!) I list total visitors [...]
