One of the issues with social sites, networking and the co-mingling of work and life – I can have several different “sites”, but I will never have the time to work with all of them. I will update this blog. I won’t necessarily ever get around to its copy on blogger. IF I can update [...]
I moved off of hostgator.com last week on Labor Day. I chose dreamhost.com as the next hosting facility. I’m really going to try and stay for at least a year in one facility, even though moving only takes a couple of hours now, plus time for DNS to point to the new nameservers. Dreamhost [...]

…sort of. My ISP fixed the DNS flaw. In doing so, they managed to stop caching ANY DNS results and slowed every action from within my local network to a crawl. This lasted for about nine days. Aaaarggggg. Tech support or any kind of customer service from Verizon is a nightmare. So are they all, [...]
I fixed two bugs in this site design… The first was a failed comments function. The “Submit Comment” button failed to submit any actual comments. I hadn’t tested it. I was looking through google’s picture of the website, and found google complaining that /comments/feed (the rss url for comments) didn’t exist… OK, I can fix [...]
