If You’re Seeing This…

by Betsy Richter

…you’re at the new server. Hooray!
Look for a debrief later when I can see this for myself, warts & all. (Am posting via iPhone app now.)
UPDATE: So far, this has been one of the easiest and most painless server moves ever. Why? Because someone smarter than me (namely, Damien at Network [...]

Site Maintenance Work Commencing in…

by Betsy Richter

….5…4…3…2…1.
I’m going to do some much-needed updates to the site’s infrastructure in the next few minutes, so the site may look a little, um, strange from time to time.
(For those who care, am updating to WP 2.8.2, Thesis (our site theme) 1.5.1 and then updating a few plugins while I’m at [...]

One Night in Sellwood

by Cosmic Charlie

As you may have heard, OurPDX had our one-year birthday party Friday night. Oh the humanity!
The events at Green Dragon are well documented. It was a pleasure to meet you all, to put names to faces. I even ran into an old neighbor from the 1980s. (Hi Sam!) It was nice of Beer and Blog [...]

Parade season is in full swing. The crowds have already started forming for the Grand Floral Parade, which engulfs downtown for the next couple of days. However, not everyone “loves a parade,” and one of the more vocal detractors is our own Wizardboots.

Instead, we’ll just take it inside at Rontoms, and we’ll be happy to buy some happy hour apps for the group besides (as ever, you’re on your [...]

Our Long National Nightmare is Now Over!

by Betsy Richter

No, we haven’t found a cure for cancer. We haven’t solved the issue of world peace. Hell, we can’t even begin to solve the infighting on our own City Council (not to mention break up squabbles between toddlers on the playground.)
But we *have* been fighting a battle of sorts mostly behind the scenes: [...]

Warning: Ongoing Construction on OurPDX

by Betsy Richter

We’ve picked a new site theme, and are putting it in place over the next few days. (I opted to get the theme upgraded and modified in a fairly transparent way, but it shouldn’t impact your ability to read or comment.)
Please feel free to comment if you notice issues or concerns. I’m a big [...]

Our new look?

by Betsy Richter

UPDATE: Okay, new theme’s in place. (See this post for details…)
UPDATE: Moving this to the top so people know we’re still working on this. As folks have mentioned, all of our content is still here – you just can’t see who’s posting what if you’re reading this via the web, which [...]
