Every damn time. I get riled up to post a bunch and swear I’ll post more often… and then I don’t. Blogging regularly just isn’t for me I fear. I used to be really good and disciplined when it was for profit. Oh well. This site is free, and there’s no ads, so at least…
Going Home for the Holidays
WARNING: Cheesy Holiday Sentimentality Ahead This year, I am really thankful. My life has essentially turned itself around from where I was in 2010. I have a roof over my head (even if it needs some work), two cats and a dog, and a beautiful woman that loves me and makes me happy in…
Back to School, Again
It’s 12/12/12 – ThinkGeek encourages us to go get a dozen doughnuts to celebrate, because the typical start-of-century repeated date convention won’t happen again until 2101 (when it’ll be 01/01/01 again, provided you abbreviate the year). So, given that the world doesn’t end on December 21st, 2012 (visit this link by NASA to see why it’s…
Geek Christmas Wishlist 2012
It’s October – and if any of you are getting the jump on Christmas present shopping for me or for that special Geek in your life, this list of cool stuff (some of it geeky, some of it is just things that appeal to me and maybe not to YOUR specific geek) might help you…
New Kitty!
We got a new kitty last night – her name is Isabella and she’s adorable! Unfortunately, she’s got fleas so we have to keep her in isolation until we can get her to the vet this week.
People Still Blog, I Guess
Blogging is a tough habit for me to get into on the regular. I used to do it everyday of the work week, because my job was boring and I really needed the distraction (and the money…!). I would sometimes crank out 6 posts a day to meet requirements for the maximum 3 paid posts a…
Staying Alive and Getting Healthy
My family hasn’t had a great history of health. My uncle, grand pa, and my dad all died of complications: the first two were heart issues I believe, and my dad died of liver cancer (he didn’t even drink). All were either diabetic or non-diagnosed. They had high blood pressure. Dad had depression and Parkinson’s…
Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Hacked Too?
I normally use Google Chrome to browse the web. On Wednesday I logged in and found that my WordPress administration dashboard was completely screwy. It had no formatting – all the elements of the dashboard were left-aligned in a neat, single-file list. This had happened to me once before and all I ended up doing…
Non-economical Repair
Working with people always has its advantages and its disadvantages, much as you’d expect. I fancy myself a misanthrope. It’s hard to run a business if you can’t deal with people. Right now, I’ve got a computer in my possession that’s past its expiration date by a long shot. I absolutely hate to admit defeat…
Put the Gloves Back On
Holy crap. I haven’t blogged here in forever. Or much of anywhere else either, really. There’s a reason for that – but I’ll get back to it later. If you ever used to read Raging Tech, you’ll know my site was full of sponsored reviews and contests and tech stuff. Then it just became a…
