Whither This Blog?
I’m not sure what I want to do with this blog. I haven’t mentioned it here yet, but I got the job in Japan that I was applying for. Ever since August, I’ve been keeping notes elsewhere about the process of applying, planning, etc. Their primary home was on Google+, to a limited circle of … Continue reading
My 5,000th Post
This is my 5,000th post. I started blogging for real in mid-2001, almost 10 years ago. If you’re reading this, please comment; if you can, please tell me how you met me, and how long you’ve been reading my blog. I suspect there are still some folks around who’ve been here since the beginning! (LJ … Continue reading
WordPress.com, and why I don’t use it
Several of my friends have started getting blogs on WordPress.com, the fully-hosted version of the blog software I use on my own site. Most of them moved over from LiveJournal or Blogspot, and most of them are not techie types, or at least not web heads, so a fully hosted solution is perfect for them. … Continue reading
Old Designs
While digging through my old Photobucket account, I came across some old designs. From the screenshots, it looks like I used them circa 2006 on JournalSpace. Sure wish I could get them back, they’re kind of cute. And then I have some bits that are not put together, like this one, this one, this one, … Continue reading
Funny Comment and Kitty
Man, I get some great comments on this blog. Who ever owns this site please could you change the skin its irritating to see. How does NO sound? Today we took the cat to the vet for her 3-month checkup following tooth extraction. She was much more scared than usual, really badly traumatized, poor girl. … Continue reading
No More Lifestream Posts
Those of you who haven’t gotten disgusted by all my damn lifestream posts already can rejoice, because they won’t be appearing anymore. Instead, you’ll have to click My Lifestream to see them. I like the idea of getting my blog back to real writing while also keeping track with a lifestream. Those of you who … Continue reading
Suck It
Okay, well, I didn’t post yesterday because I was coming to New York City. I’m here, but that’s not what I’m writing about. I’m writing about this comment: Instead of movable type, try finding a licensed mover that knows how to type! This was on a blog entry about Movable Type, the blogging software. The … Continue reading
Back to Dailies?
Looking at my blog’s homepage, I’m not sure that a page full of daily digests is what I really want. Especially since they’re mostly Twitter posts. It’s cool to archive them, and I like that everything I publish goes into one place, but I don’t know that I like how it looks. For several years, … Continue reading
Testing CellSpin
I’m testing posting via CellSpin. So far it doesn’t have any of the Blackberry’s autotext features, you can’t even double-space to put in a period. It’s the first blog client I’ve seen for the Blackberry, so I’m very interested, but so far it’s cumbersome and also SLOW – it can’t keep up with my typing … Continue reading
Considering Twitter Crossposts
Raise your hand if you would get all cranky if I started doing the daily Twitter crosspost again. Because really, it’s where I communicate the most. I promise I would wipe out all the ones that were replies to other people unless they actually could stand alone as posts. Last time I set this up, … Continue reading
