As you probably noticed IHMC has been in a bad way for the past 14 hours. Something that got updated on the server completed hosed our CMS platform. I'm still digging to figure out exactly what caused it and how to get IHMC back to 100%.
Things will probably go down occasionally so please be patient.

FINALLY, logged in users don't have to look at ads!
IHMC is not, and never has been, about making money. It's about you guys, the regular visitors! This should make your visits more enjoyable. If you want to help contribute to the success of IHMC all you need to do is keep coming back and share IHMC with your friends!
The ads provide a crucial revenue stream to pay the fees to keep the site running. From this point forward I will look to non-logged in traffic to provide that stream. There will be some additional types of ads used. If you don't want the ads you should register or log in NOW!!!
Let me know if you like it and how well it works in the comments.

Just noticed that WordPress handles RSS feed completely different. I'm working on finding a way ti redirect the old feed addresses to the new ones but I'm not a great htaccess guy.
New feed addresses are:
Please update your feed readers if you can.

This is still very much a work in progress but I finally got sick of the performance issues of the last platform. This time I've migrated IHMC over to WordPress. Seems OK so far...
A couple of things...
Please let me know if it is faster and what you like/dislike on this incarnation of IHMC. If everyone hates it I can still switch it back to the old beast of a site.

Hi there:
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Joseph and I live in the Austin, Texas area. I have been a loyal viewer of IHMC since 2005. People are sending me funny / crazy / sick stuff all the time. I have tons of stuff to share with you. I hope to become a regular poster here. Speaking of sharing things with viewers... I have some invites to give out.

I currently have six invites to Google Voice, twenty invites to Google Wave, and lots of invites to one of the best torrent sites on the net... Demonoid. These invites are first come, first serve. If you would like an invite, write your request on the wall over at the I Hate My Cubicle Facebook page:

I finally broke down and bought an iPhone when my company ripped my BlackBerry out of my hands. 9 years of increased productivity down the tubes, oh well. Anyway, I figured that IHMC on the iPhone may have some takers so here you go. Tell me what you think of it.

Hey guys! I need some feedback from the IHMC community on a new commenting system that I'm looking to deploy on IHMC.
This is a big change from the old method but it has some great benefits. Such as:
Pros:
It's FAST! Should make it much easier to get people to comment.
Comments will no longer need to rebuild the page.
FaceBook and Yahoo ID integration.
Can be placed inline on all pages. Comments can be shown under posts on the main page if we want.
Allows for HTML and picture uploads!
Can be moderated easily.
Cons:
Can't customize the look and feel.
Can not display a comment count on the entry.
Will not work with the recent comments widget.
Does not use IHMC login accounts. (kinda good, kinda bad)
If you have a chance I would appreciate it if you could look at a sample page using the new comments, post a comment and provide some basic feedback to me.
Here is the BETA link to try http://www.ihatemycubicle.com/test.html
