I’m moving!

Jay — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:34:32 +0000

Well, I’m moving to Lubbock, TX! Of course it’s coming with a new job. I’ll be getting away from the greasy spoon and moving to something different! It’s a restaurant/wine bar. The food will be outstanding, and I’m really excited about it! Maybe I’ll post some pictures of the food. Maybe . . . → Read More: I’m moving!

Really long time no update!

Jay — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:50:52 +0000

In honesty, I’ve been trying to figure out how to transition this blog into a different kind of blog. I’ve been looking at themes, playing with different plugins, and just trying new stuff out; when I’ve had the time to do so. I guess my public image has become more important to me over the last few . . . → Read More: Really long time no update!

Routing issues… ugh….

Jay — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:23:05 +0000

Ok, it seems like the host I’ve been using had routing issues getting to my blog. From what I was told, it was a Level3 and/or Clearwire being blocked thing, not sure which. So until they get that fixed, I’ve housed this blog on my own service. It was relatively painless to move it over. We’ll . . . → Read More: Routing issues… ugh….

Heh, someone thinks this site is important. lol! 3nerGie decided it would be worth the waste of time to deface my site to get their rant about Serbia published. The funny thing is that this blog, and really all of my domains are not popular and gets next to NO visitors anymore. lol! This is what . . . → Read More: I h4z b33n h4x0rzd!

Facebook usernames and such….

Jay — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:07:00 +0000

According to this article, Facebook was going to require 1,000 fans to recieve your unique user name. It was a very stiff policy that would have left most Facebook users out in the cold. As of this morning, the 1,000 fan requirement is gone. Rejoice FB users, and delight in the gold rush for your user names! Maybe . . . → Read More: Facebook usernames and such….

Interesting times….

Jay — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:31:55 +0000

I’ve been looking at starting a microblogging service for ham operators and a separate service for cloggers. The issue is, what software do I pick? Well, I’ve been looking around and found a few packages and haven’t found one I liked yet. I’ll give you a rundown of what packages I found, and my reservations I . . . → Read More: Interesting times….

BBS Era…. Can we bring it back?

Jay — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:29:47 +0000

Sometimes I miss the old days of computing. The old BBS’ and how geekycool it was to have a modem and talk to people online. Some BBS’ had tons of files, others had tons of message bases tied into something called Fidonet, yet others dealt in adult files, and they were all community based. This is . . . → Read More: BBS Era…. Can we bring it back?

SPAM redux

Jay — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:36:13 +0000

Well, looks like the spammers found a way around the captcha. Be it automated or a person (if so, I hope they die by the hands of a thousand bloggers) you can thank them. You now have to be a registered member of the blog to post comments. Hey! The slime-bags forced my hand, what else . . . → Read More: SPAM redux

SPAM! It’s what’s for dinner….

Jay — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:35:24 +0000

Heh, someone thinks this blog is important enough to post over 75 SPAM comments in less than 2 days. At least I’d like to think this blog was important, as trite as it can be. lol! I hope I’ve fixed it well enough to keep it from happening quit as much. Maybe . . . → Read More: SPAM! It’s what’s for dinner….

R.I.P. Geocities 1995-2009

Jay — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:31:36 +0000

Well, and era will soon be over. Yahoo is finally killing off Geocities later this year and replacing it with a pay hosting service. Yeah, I cut my teeth on Geocities. I had an embeded midi music file and maybe 1 or 2 animated graphics. Maybe I shouldn’t have admitted to that. lol Do I miss it? . . . → Read More: R.I.P. Geocities 1995-2009
