About the blog.
I’m done. At least, I’m done with trying to include all my Twitticisms on this blog. You’ll just have to go to Twitter to get them (see the footer for directions). It was too… not easy, to keep them all here, and there, and display them nicely. So, screw it. But, here are all my […]
Not quite a decade ago, I forked over several hundred dollars to support a little web hosting company that could, TextDrive. In exchange, they gave me a lifetime hosting promise. It was a good run, and they even honored their promise across a couple of acquisitions and mergers. But a week or so ago, they […]
Yeah, I know. The blog is ugly. I’ve been meaning to get back to it (writing, I mean) and have been playing with a couple of hosted options: Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress.com, the usual. In the end, while they would all be a lot simpler to use, they also don’t quite do all that I want. […]
A few new items around here, but dated back to September. That is when I started an experiment in moving this blog to another service. I wanted simplicity, and Posterous certainly gave me that, but it wasn’t what I needed. Yes, I still crave simplicity, but Posterous works one way: post to Posterous, and it […]
One new job later, I’m back. It is clear that I won’t be posting at the same (torrid?) pace that I was when I was at home eight hours a day. I’m not even clear if I’ll be posting from work at all (maybe just Tweets), which leaves me between two and three hours at […]
Nothing like messing with a perfectly working blog. I’ll be upgrading to WordPress 2.5 later today. The blog might break. My apologies. For whatever that’s worth. Update: No breakage involved. Had to refresh my included images a couple of times, but other than that, everything went smoothly, like a point upgrade should. Your mileage may […]
Every blogger wants people to comment on his or her blog. That’s why we do this. We want to know you’re out there, listening. And while I have a nice stats package that shows me that I’ve had twenty unique visitors so far today, that is easily trumped by one actual comment. But I have […]
Change is in the wind. No, no mid-life crisis, but I have been engaging in a wee bit of introspection these past few days. My life ain’t what I want it to be, and I’m the person best suited to changing that. On the job front, I’ve been searching for a job for about eight […]
Never did get in on the beta, but FriendFeed has just launched. Essentially, it’s a feed aggregator for all the services you use. You attach your FriendFeed account to your various services, and it lists all the updates you make. That way, your friends can subscribe to one place to follow all your doings on […]
I know, you’re not all torn up about this. As a further refinement of my blogging efforts, I’ve decided to stop hosting ads on this site. Especially Google’s context-sensitive AdSense ads. Turns out that a blog as eclectic as this one is a bad fit for contextual advertising. I’m open to ads in the future, […]
