Seriously Reconsidering…

I’m back… Back on WordPress, back here.  Back doing lots of things.  Stability of a blogging platform is not one of them.  I seem to tire of a thing, remove it, then get the urge and put it back.  Lets see if I can stay sane and stable here for awhile.

I left, then I write

Well, things have been tied to a project here on this real estate for awhile.  Now, things have quieted down with that work so I decided to just put back Wordpress 2.3 here and bask in its glory.  I’m running the Cutline theme.
A lot has been going on at work.  Joyfully, I got a year [...]

The Cost of Happiness

Someone told me once that the 50s are the new 30s these days and that 50 somethings (like me) can count on a decade of happiness and joy of life much like a 30 year old.  Bah Humbug.  This surely ain’t so.  Because 50 somethings suddenly inherit all kinds of requirements around health, diet, maintenance, [...]

Other Small Tidbits at a Personal Level
At work these days, I use the Windows products exclusively.  I run Outlook for mail, use IE for browsing, and the office pro 2003 suite.  I do this because its what works there and I’m working [...]

I'm checking out a web-based blog tool called writetomyblog.  Please excuse the minor dust…

Listening to the Songbird

Everyone wants stuff that looks the same across operating systems like Firefox and Thunderbird.  If you can see a comparable tool and use it on Ubuntu and Vista, things can get really nice.  I’ve blogged before that iTunes and Vista x64 are not nice together even with the latest release there is a major suckage [...]

Mere Mortals Tampering with the Space/Time Continuum

Well, perhaps just the time continuum at this point.  All my operating systems appear to have had patches issued or downloaded or “apt-got” to deal with this.  It does bring up a basic question though.  Just who da hell do we think we are?  Do we really think we can cause an affect to the [...]
