Thanks to my good friend Annette and her staff at Hosting Matters my site has been freed of the graffiti left behind by whatever vandal stopped by. It turned out that there wasn’t any serious damage (as far as we can tell). That little tab reading FORCE at the top of the page led to …
As far as I can tell, there’s been no harm done, but look at the top left corner of the page above the sidebar. See that word “FORCE?” Click on it. It shows what looks like a blog entry with the phrase “Hacked bY International Force.” I’ve run a Malware scan and turned up nothing. …
A while back I read somebody’s suggestion that sentences make better passwords than the usual “combination of 8-12 letters and numbers and special characters.” I never did anything about it with my own codes, but it made some sense to me. So today I’m reading Facebook and run across Kim Baron’s post about a meatloaf …
My linkmeister sites were unavailable for most of the day today. Why? Because my domain registrar wanted me to verify my contact info for the domain, and it had purportedly sent me an email asking me to do so, an email I failed to respond to. So it put a “Client Hold” on the domain, …

I just got the four-disk boxed set of Firefly from the library. I know what I’ll be watching the next two or three nights. I also added a Random Quote thing to the right sidebar for fun. If it slows up page loading, please advise.

Trying to figure out how to do multiple blogs with one installation of WordPress, I mean. I may try to put one up to provide a home for commenters who’ve been left homeless as the incomparable Jon Weisman shuts down his Dodger Thoughts blog. We’ll see. To the DT folks: Update #1: It would be …
I’m too busy supervising contractors to blog today. Oh. One interesting bit of news: it’s kind-of Opening Day for baseball, and in the first game in the Miami Marlins’ new ballpark the home team is being victimized by Kyle Lohse. He’s got a no-hitter through six innings.
Tomorrow this site will redirect to this page as a protest against the SOPA and PIP bills now being pushed through Congress. What are those, you ask? I can’t explain nearly as well as Patrick Nielsen Hayden does here. If after reading that you’d like to know whether your Congressperson and/or Senator supports or opposes …
Because “new, shiny!” I have managed to finagle an invitation to Google +. More than that, I’ve managed to actually join. There are brief windows each day when one can get in, apparently. As you might expect, Google is periodically overwhelmed and has to stop to let its servers catch their collective breath. If you’ve …
