Silver Insanity http://silverinsanity.com/rss/ en-us 40 Random Articles from Silver Insanity In more recent news... <p>I keep forgetting to update the home page when I change things on the site, resulting in a four year old &ldquo;news&rdquo; post sitting on top looking all important.</p> <p>My friend Joshua has been using the site to <a href="http://silverinsanity.com/meta/">post interesting fiction</a> and <a href="http://silverinsanity.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=32">host a play-by-post Amber game</a>. The forums are far more active now than they have been in a while just in time for me to be too busy to participate! Fun times for all!</p> Fri, 22 Feb 2013 02:34:34 GMT http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2013/02/21/in-more-recent-news-/ http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2013/02/21/in-more-recent-news-/ Moved to Radiant <p>If you are reading this, then <a href="/">Silver Insanity</a> has successfully updated to a new <acronym title="Content Management System"><span class="caps">CMS</span></acronym>: Radiant.</p> <p><a href="http://www.radiantcms.org">Radiant</a> is a <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Ruby on Rails</a> application that provides a clean and simple but still powerful way to manage a web site. It&#8217;s also open source and extendable. (If you can&#8217;t tell, I like it.)</p> <p>Unfortunately, the move means that all the old &#8220;/everything&#8221; URLs are broken. But that&#8217;s okay, because most of those pages were out of date anyway. For my links, check <a href="http://del.icio.us/benabik">del.icio.us</a>. My web comic list is also there, under the <a href="http://del.icio.us/benabik/webcomic">webcomic tag</a>.</p> <p>For things still on the site, check the side bar (to the right on every page) and the <a href="/">main page</a>.</p> Sat, 01 Jul 2006 19:54:58 GMT http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2006/07/01/moved-to-radiant/ http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2006/07/01/moved-to-radiant/ Jewelry <p>I&#8217;ve been getting a lot of e-mails recently about jewelry. If you&#8217;re looking for jewelry, you&#8217;re at the <strong>wrong site</strong>. This is, and always has been, a personal domain full of random things.</p> <p>On the other hand, <a href="http://silver-insanity.com">silver-insanity.com</a> (note the dash) is a jewelry store. Once again:</p> <p style="font-size:x-large;">Go to <a href="http://silver-insanity.com">silver-insanity.com</a> if you&#8217;ve come here for jewelry.</p> <p style="font-size:x-small;">I may seem to be belaboring the point, but it appears that Silver-Insanity has been getting popular. I&#8217;m averaging about one e-mail a day for them.</p> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:31:41 GMT http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/01/16/jewelry/ http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/01/16/jewelry/ Forums and LARP <p>Two new things appeared on Silver Insanity today.</p> <p>The first is a <a href="/forum">new forum</a>! Rather than opening a new forum for everything, I&#8217;m just going to have one central one for the entire site. No more piles of accounts, and everyone gets the upgrades at once.</p> <p>The second thing is the reason I finally got around to the first: <a href="/bts/">Between the Shadows</a> It&#8217;s an independent Vampire the Requiem <span class="caps">LARP</span> running in Rochester, NY. Feel free to join us! Information on the game can be found at <a href="/bts/">it&#8217;s site</a> and questions can be posted in the Out of Character section of <a href="/forum">the forum</a></p> Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:18:27 GMT http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/02/09/forums-and-larp/ http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/02/09/forums-and-larp/ Don't Diet, Eat Naughty <p>This is a simple set of concepts, based on one basic rule. I don&#8217;t believe in dieting. When I need to control my weight, I need to focus on enjoying my food much more.</p> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:26:51 GMT http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/01/16/dont-diet-eat-naughty/ http://silverinsanity.com/articles/2009/01/16/dont-diet-eat-naughty/
