I upgraded MovableType last night and now im totally regretting it. First, a plugin that I installed because of its “features” in relation to the new version managed to totally fry my theme on my blog, even after I removed the pesky thing. Second issue, my /images/ directory is GONE! Don’t know where it went, […]

I think for the first time I have just become really pissed at UNCC’s information systems management department. I have had my @uncc.edu email account for over a year now and have been faithfully logging into 49er Express at least once per week. I had never been informed of any way to check that account […]

This is from an Amazon search I was performing while trying to find a replacement clip for my cordless phone. It would appear that A9 is more capable of searching Amazon.com than Amazon.com’s bult-in search utility.

The inevitable finally happened tonight, about 15 minutes ago I managed to kill my Kensington WebRacer touchpad pointing device (kinda like a mouse, but much cooler). Unforunately I can no longer find decent touchpads anywhere, so thus I am doomed to find a replacement that isn’t a touchpad. Up until a few days ago I […]

With so many of my blog entries I usually post images, especially those that are about my ceramic work. I have decided that most of my images need to be part of my blog in some way. Because of that decision I will most likely end up having the images reside on the blog’s domain, […]

For the first time in over a year I have fax service again. My new fax number is (866) 502-9243. That is toll-free to all US and Canadian residents. I decided ths morning that I needed a fax number when I realized I needed to fax something and the only way I could do it […]

For the first time in several years I now have opened a web hosting account with an outside provider. DreamHost. I opened the account because it was a good deal and thought I could find some usefulness for it, plus Chris and I had been playing with the idea previously. So far nothing has been […]

This evening I signed up for a new trial account with an old email service provider of mine, MailSnare, for the purpose of having an email account that I can use with my personal website once its redesign is complete. After doing so I realized how many email addresses I actually have. I have 2 […]
