I came to check my site tonight, and it was breaking with parse errors. My first thought was that somehow the file breaking it had gotten an extra blank line added at the end – which can sometimes mess up php pages. So I opened the file and went to the end, and found something [...]

I decided I needed to write some kind of an update here, but when I thought about what to say, I got stuck: there’s stuff going on, but nothing’s finished enough, or established enough, to be worth reporting. So I’m going to report that I’m getting a new laptop soon. It’s a Dell, with a [...]

When I checked my AwStats on one of my sites, I found 39 hits from “www.disney.com”. I knew better than to think Disney had stuck a link to my site on their front page. My next thought was that they’d circulated an internal email with a link, but I doubted it would show up quite [...]

Just a quick alert here. If you’re purchasing something online and they have a system that automatically sends you to Ebay’s PayPal to pay and then back to their site to confirm your order, be very, very careful about backing out at the last minute. I recently went to purchase hosting, and realized at the [...]

Looks like not everyone is pleased about the MarketingSherpa nominations. Seobook, posting here on Threadwatch doesn’t get why his blog and SEW weren’t included. Neither do I, but find this a little over the top: Is there any point to awards that do not even list the best choices as an option? Taking this question [...]

Remember the domain I tried to transfer from GoDaddy, only they set up an impossible scenario in which I couldn’t possibly set everything properly to make the transfer, and was forced to renew the domain with GoDaddy, or lose it? Now that their 60-day squatting period is over, I’m trying once again to transfer it. [...]

I’m a huge Mac fan. Not a proseletyzer who seeks to convert errant Windows users – they just work like my brain works, and I like them. But I’m very pissed at Apple right now. I own an iBook. I bought an extended warranty for it. Waste of money, as are almost all extended warranties. [...]

I’ve had a lot of tech issues to contend with on my sites lately (which is why I haven’t been reporting back many updates… been flitting between projects too much). And it’s all got me thinking: the human brain doesn’t have a reference point for any of this crap. Imagine you’re driving to a shop [...]

I finally got my all-digital lifestyle dream to come true about 6 months ago. My office contained paper solely for the purpose of jotting stuff down quickly. Everything was on the computer – my entire life. I think my soul was actually stored on a partition of my hard drive. Took me two years to [...]
