Not a lot of posting over the past couple of days. I’ve been consumed with Blog tweaks and formats, along with a migration to Gmail as you can see on the upper left right (the new email address). When I haven’t been on the PC, I’ve been working on some home projects. I picked up [...]

Yeah, I know…the blog is starting to look a little too busy. I’m playing around with a lot of modifications right now, so please bear with me a little longer. Eventually I’ll get rid of some, move things around, and try to find a nice layout that doesn’t look like Times Square. You’ll note the [...]

I didn’t have much time this weekend to update the site content, but I did manage to play around with a few blog tweaks that I thought were worth mentioning. I added a silly ‘Endorsements’ text rotation box, so when people make comments about my Blog, I can slug them in there with attribution. If [...]

I’ve upgraded the template and added a Fiction section as a tab under the header. Read at your own risk…

You can probably tell, if you have stopped by here recently, that there have been a lot of changes. The template is coming along, and I’ve added some new features. There is now a ‘printer friendly’ feature should you wish to dump a long post to the printer and take it with you, perhaps to [...]

I’m in the middle of a WordPress upgrade, so the Blog might look a little funny for awhile. Please bear with me.

Yeah, the format is all different now. This is why you don’t try HTML/PHP modifications with a head cold. It’s going to take me awhile to sort this mess out, so for now you’re stuck with a template I don’t really like. UPDATE – OK, getting closer, but still have things to fix. ANOTHER UPDATE [...]

Anyone still stopping in here? I’ve been thinking about starting up again. Update – Uh, it was pointed out to me that the comments were turned off for this post….D’oh. Fixed…

I think my blog has been hacked. Every single post now contains a link labeled ‘Raghav’ under the header, and I can’t seem to locate where it is coming from. I’ll continue to work on it, so for now please ignore it and certainly don’t click the link.

Amateur Megalomania I’m still learning about WordPress, and I didn’t realize until now that it has a RSS link for comments on this blog. So, import the above link, or get the one on the lower right of the page, and get instant updates on any comments. I use SharpReader for RSS and am pretty [...]

In case you were wondering. If you see anything else odd, let me know. I’m still learning to configure this platform.

Well, after fiddling around for a few hours, I have to say I already like Word Press better. The plugins are easier to activate and configure, and I’ve not yet had to embrace some arcane php or perl module that only a Linux/Unix freak could understand. No offense to said freaks, but I want to [...]

OK, after being shut down by my host for trackback spam (500+ spams in a matter of minutes), I started to fiddle with various filters in MT. In trying to upgrade Movable Type, the helpful utter feces of a help file resulted in a completely eradicated blog. I’ve lost ALL entries going back to day [...]

I seem to have exceeded my bandwidth somehow. As a result, I’ve been off-line for about a week, but with the magic of the First of the Month, I am restored. Posting to resume…

Two blogs have recently linked to me, and after surfing around, I have decided to return the favor. Thanks to both! First up, Janette of Common Sense Runs Wild showed up on a comment regarding my Walden Pond decision. Unfortunately, subsequent family discussion prevented the full Walden, but I am still seeking ways to simplify [...]

I spent a little time this weekend trying to figure out how to save the entries from my old Blogspot blog, when the obvious came up and struck me. Movable Type can import them here! Unfortunately, I’m having trouble getting it to work, as blogger will only publish ten entries at a time via FTP [...]

Initially, when I started my first blog in September of 2003, I intended it as a means to stop myself from spamming my friends with unwanted commentary on news and politics. It worked very well, and before long it evolved to a group blog, but still certainly less than a polished source of opinion. Over [...]

If you’ve been frequently checking the blog, I appreciate the concern. I’ve been intentionally off-line now for about a week, taking a much needed break from what was becoming needless clutter in my life at the moment. The break has been a good thing, and after relaxing in a ‘news free’ bubble for a few [...]
