Computers, blogging, technical stuff. You wouldn’t be interested.
The 20-year-old blog "Chasing the Wind" began as lighthearted stories and evolved to address politics, faith, and the author's personal experiences. With gratitude, the author acknowledges the impact of their faith, sharing learnings and teaching Bible study for 18 years. They express appreciation for the support of their readers.
Still here. 🙂
I bought my Windows Phone last November after reviewing the options. My old Window Mobile 6.1 was at the end of its life and ready to be retired. 1 - iOS iPhone. Great phone. I'm not enamored with Apple's stranglehold on their iTunes store. I watched Google Voice be denied from entry at Apple's seeming … Continue reading My Windows Phone
New host today, and I'm testing the interface to see if it connects to Facebook, Twitter, MySocialEgoIsHuge.net (that website is unregistered so you can claim it if you wish) , and so on. I had been using Blogs-About.com since April 2004. I setup the original Chasingthewind.net webpage as a place to share my faith in … Continue reading Moving to WordPress.com
Yeah, I know. Chasing the Wind has been sleepy for a while. My passion for pithy comments has waned somewhat, Facebook has replaced the blog as the social network, and I'm on hiatus from bible study teaching so there are no lessons to post. But hey, I still own this domain name. 🙂
I'm still looking for that perfect to-do list manager. I really liked the Windows Mobile 6.1 syncronizing solution (except for the occasional hiccup that duplicated everything). But now that I'm using a Windows Phone 7, that solution is gone. Right now I've settled on Toodledo.com which is working really well. It's an easy to use, … Continue reading Toodledo
This sentence contain the actual link to the incendiary post, with or without comment from this post's author. This is a quote from that link to illustrate agreement. This sentence contains a provocative statement that attracts the readers’ attention, but really only has very little to do with the topic of the blog post. This … Continue reading This is a Link to a Typical Incendiary Blog Post
I'm disabling Disqus today from my blog at http:\\chasingthewind.net . The idea was great - a more open community for comments to posts. The interface was nice, and I liked the fact that individuals "owned" their own comments and could edit them as necessary. But Disqus was barely used by the community. The only additional … Continue reading That's Enough of Disqus
Image by barloventomagico via FlickrDisqus. Pronounced "Discuss." It's a new feature I'm trying out, and I'd love your comments. Really. The whole idea is to encourage better comments. You can see replies to your comments, there's a discussion page, you can better see other people's comments. It even links to social sites like Twitter and … Continue reading Disqus
Cover via AmazonRemember when blogging was new? The word "blog" itself was new. The whole concept of people finding an outlet to express whatever was on their mind in a forum that reached globally was new. Now it's ordinary. People create blogs for their pets now. Or maybe the pets themselves do it, it's so … Continue reading Happy 5th Birthday
Hey, I got a report card - Dear Michael, Our editors recently reviewed your blog and have given it an 8.0 score out of (10) in the Society/Religion & Spirituality category of Blogged.com. This is quite an achievement! http://www.blogged.com/directory/society/religion-and-spirituality We evaluated your blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site … Continue reading Blogged.com
When I was kid, I was fascinated by the huge Encyclopedia Britannica books. Who were these amazing eggheads that wrote all the world's information down? How did they get so smart? Times change. The Encyclopedia Britannica still has the most vetted information, but is no longer the largest or easiest accessible. They've offered to bloggers, … Continue reading Encyclopedia Britannica Online
It seems they grow up so fast. 🙂 Chasing the Wind is now 4 years old. Happy Birthday! I find it amazing how fast things have changed in the last 4 years. Then, blogs were amazing new inventions. "You mean, *I* can write something on the web? Don't I need permission or something?" Today, sites … Continue reading Four Year Blogiversary
Where's the spam? I get around 1800 pieces of email spam a month; it's been that way for at least 3 years. But in the last month, I've only received 550 pieces of email spam. And in the last week, only about 20 pieces of spam. At this rate, I'll only get about 100 pieces … Continue reading Where's the Spam?
Once upon a time I wrote about a galloping buzz generated by my computer monitor, my desk phone, all sorts of electronics. Dwight Silverman had written an article on the same subject a few days before, and I was prompted to share my experience. I think there's a solution to this annoying buzz - there's … Continue reading Galloping Buzz II
Do you use Plaxo? I've been using it for years and generally been happy with it. The feature that originally drew me to it was that I could send somebody a link and they could update my address book. Instead of replying to my email and then me cutting and pasting into my Outlook, they … Continue reading Plaxo
Actually, I've never heard it called "Naked DSL." This is the choice of getting DSL without the accompanying land line. I've heard it called "Dry Loop." Naked DSL sounds too risqué. My favorite part of the article is this: The San Antonio-based telecommunications giant had feared customers would ditch their phone lines in favor of … Continue reading Naked DSL
I've decided against continuing my weekly update of the Christian Carnival blogroll. If you were using it, I hope you enjoyed it. After 2 years of updating it, I think I'm going to rely on other automated sources. One source is at Blogcarnival; a widget for your blog is here. It looks like this: There … Continue reading Blogrolling Christian Carnival (Update)
After two years of updating the Blogroll for the Christian Carnival, I'm considering discontinuing this effort. If you run a blog that uses this blogroll, drop me a comment and I'll consider keeping it going.
... if I don't write anything. Sorry, been traveling and working, just like last year. It may be several weeks before I surface again. I have another book review coming up, but that's about it. On the other hand, *you* could post. There's not's of room below.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I haven't posted much. Been really, really busy. I still owe Jennifer my answers to The Eight. I'll get to it, soon, I hope. I wanted to blog about how the Democrats are findng religion. Apparently it's ok with The Media if the Democrats talk about their faith, but if … Continue reading Silence!
Mingle2 - Online Dating Heh. Chasing the Wind is rated "PG" because the word "dead" shows up twice and "missionary" once. I guess they're not expecting Christian websites and they way we use those terms. 🙂 * Nod to Coffeeswirls for the link.
I've discovered I can't talk about new gadgets with my wife. She has an excellent radar, and I can't hide the drool coming out of my mouth. I started talking last night about the media frenzy regarding the iPhone and... "If you come home with an iPhone, I'm trading you in for a pair of … Continue reading iPhone Mania
No blogging until June 4 at the earliest. Encourage "them" not to make any news in the meantime.
It's free, one of my favorite numbers. You can get the ESV bible to load on your iPod for free at Podbible.org. Put some God in your Pod. If you'd like an audio version for your iPod instead, you can get that at Podbible.com.
Three years? I've been doing this for three years now? I should celebrate with some cake! Yup, Chasing the Wind is three years old today!
This will appeal only to the technophiles; I installed a WordPress plugin yesterday called Kramer (or at Kramer) and I like it so far - one of the features is automatically to show pingbacks from Technorati, even if the originator doesn't support pingbacks. For 99% of you reading that, it meant absolutely nothing, so here's … Continue reading Kramer Pingbacks
Ah. A lightbulb goes off. I read several posts this Easter weekend about the dangers of forming a theocracy. The Houston Chronicle linked to one at Feet to the Fire: The banwitdth devoted to the dangers of Church to State is enormous. Being righteous lefties that analysis comes easy to us. As a lefty who … Continue reading Blog Against Theophobes
I searched Chasing the Wind today for some relatively obscure words I occasionally use in conversation. Bloviate. Ameliorate. Pernicious. I received a "not found" message - I've never written a post with those words. There. Fixed *that* little problem. 🙂
Cleaning up the website to match the new template, I don't know where I should post the old Blogrolls I no longer use (but I still want to maintain the links. I'm posting them here for now, but there's no need for you to click this link to continue, there's nothing interesting there. Eventually as … Continue reading Blogrolls
I don't have the time lately to tweak html design, so I'm going to go with this off-the-shelf theme called Lorelei Bliss 2.0. I'll add back in some of the goodies like "recent comments" and stuff when I have more time. I'm teaching Sunday so the day is devoted to study.
Still not sure what's wrong - comments stopped working again yesterday. I'm reverting back to a plain vanilla WordPress installation without plugins or any special themes until I can figure out what happened. Maybe *then* Google will remember that this website exists.
Yup, just discovered that Comments are broken. First one to comment to this post wins an attaboy. Or attagirl, if preferred.
Still trying to track down this Google delisting. The frustrating thing is just by posting the question, that used to gather knowledge from others who find my post by Googling. Now I'm just speaking into the void. I learned this week how to generate a sitemap, and Google acknowledges I have 1500 links. They just … Continue reading Degooglized II
None of my posts are listed on Google anymore. Only 10 static pages can be found, but since those pages are there, Google knows that Chasing the Wind exists, but Google's not listing any of my posts. They *used* to, but they don't anymore. Moreover, they show exactly -0- sites linking to Chasing the Wind. … Continue reading Degooglized
I think this is an interesting website - Google purchased Writely.com and made it free to the public. It's a free, web-based word processor. I have Microsoft Word on all my machines, so I can't think of a reason I'd want to use Writely. I suppose if I bought a new compressor, I might not … Continue reading Writely
Brain full. Stress level high. I find the need to decompress. Wordy prose the first to go. Blogging will be light to non-existent for the next 3 weeks. Guest bloggers (and you know who you are) may or may not step in, depending on softball schedules and such. I am oocupado (that means I'm busy, … Continue reading Hiatus
There were some glitches with hosting this week, but Christian Carnival 123 is now up for this week's best Christian blogging.
One year ago, Chasing the Wind was one year old. One year later, Chasing the Wind is one year older. Do the math. 🙂 Last year, 764 posts and 54,000 visitors since April 27, 2004 making 2,825 comments. This year, 1,237 posts and 5,077 comments, 162,279 visitors. Wheee doggy! I've enjoyed each and every one … Continue reading Two Year Blogiversary
I added some plugins to the WordPress today - 1 - On the sidebar, you can see who's logged in and who's visiting. You're not alone! Dozens of strangers are surfing with you. This is the WP-Useronline plugin from GaMerZ. 2 - Did you need a printer-friendly version of a post of mine? There's now … Continue reading Blog Tweaks
Christian Carnival #115 is up at The Secret Life of Gary. Full of this week's best Christian blogging.
J'ai été dans le Havre, France toute la semaine. Blogging régulier reprendra la semaine prochaine. And I don't speak French so I can't help you with that translation.
I'm going to try out a service called "Feedblitz" that let's you subscribe to Chasing the Wind via email. In the sidebar to the left is a little box for you to enter your email address, and then once a day you will get all the new posts neatly summarized in a single email. I … Continue reading Subscribe by Email
Uptown Girl was one of the first blogs I stumbled across over two years ago. Now she's hanging up her blogging activities in favor of getting married and moving overseas. Drop by and tell her goodbye, won't you?
No longer googling. From Google's leftist leanings (98% of their contributions go to Democrats) to their support of Chinese censorship, I need a new search engine. I've switched to A9.com. It's owned by Amazon.com, you can earn credit on Amazon stuff, and it's easier to type.
More out of curiosity's sake, what do you think? Click on this Johari window and let me know. * Tip from Spinthemoon.
I've been playing with this idea for a while, and I'm giving it a shot today. If it turns out I don't like this idea, I can always delete it later. 😛 (I'm going to edit this post as necessary to clarify the intent, so don't be surprised when the wording changes.) I want to … Continue reading Where They Stand
Looking for Christ in China? Don't depend on Google, they block those searches in China. JunkYardBlog has the scoop. *Via Michelle Malkin.
This is for the webgeeks out there, not for the regular visitors. 🙂 Based on a suggestion by Podz, I've changed the way the Blogroll is displayed. Blogrolling by default gives you a long listing of all the blogs, but that's gotten way too cumbersome. I wanted some sort of collapsible, dropdown menu. There are … Continue reading Dropdown Blogroll List
Just don't click it. This was a very interesting experiment for me since I seem to be developing some tendenitis in my right forefinger I use for clicking. A web-design interface with no clicking is appealing, though trying to teach computer-challenged people how to use it might be difficult.
The Federal Trade Commission says that the CAN-SPAM legislation passed in 2003 is effective at fighting spam. The Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday that the CAN-SPAM Act has worked, and was effective in protecting consumers from unsolicited e-mail. The agency publicly released a report at a press conference in Washington that studied the effectiveness … Continue reading FTC says CAN-SPAM is Effective
If you've ever been interested in your own blog, there are a bunch of free choices out there. Blogger.com (owned by Google) and Livejournal.com are two free ones that come to mind. I'm not as familiar with Typepad, but that's an option, too. Chasing the Wind uses WordPress, and now they've persuaded Yahoo to host … Continue reading WordPress, Yahoo, Akismet
Dang, y'all suddenly got quiet in the last week. Did everybody go on vacation? Or are you overworked? Overshopped? There are still 330+ visitors a day here, but you're not saying a word.
I'm hopping on the bandwagon a little late, but I want to endorse 2 blogs for the 2005 Weblog Awards. No, I didn't enter Chasing the Wind. Probably won't, either; not my cup o' tea. Voting takes place here for Best of the Top 6751 - 8750 Blogs; register your vote for BitterSweetLife. And voting … Continue reading 2005 Weblog Awards
I was in a meeting all day, 12 hours straight. Tomorrow, too. In fact, the rest of the week. Blogging will be a) late b) light, or c) nonexistent. There are some guest bloggers around here somewhere, but apparently they have jobs, too. 🙄
I've created a Christian Carnival Blogroll; you can see it in my sidebar. I'm setting this up to make it easier to find past Carnivals and always have the latest post available; there's also an RSS Feed so when a new Christian Carnival is up, you'll know it and where to find it. Some things … Continue reading Christian Carnival Blogroll and RSS Feed
Uptown Girl was one of the first blogs I stumbled across when I was trying to figure out how to get Chasing the Wind running. Of course, her website didn't look as girly-girl back then 😛 . Her blog just turned two today, so go over and wish her a Happy Blogiversary!
I haven't done this in a while - what brings people to Chasing the Wind? Here's a list of searches people use. By the way, this list is always up to date in my sidebar, down near the bottom where it says "Referral Links." Some days, that the most fun part of blogging. 😛 Democrats … Continue reading Why Are You Here?
I gave Askismet two weeks. Verdict: I love it. Let me give you a little background: There are hundreds of pieces of spam that spammers think ought to be displayed prominently on Chasing the Wind. From weight loss drugs to pornography to cheap mortgages, the spammers have setup software "robots" to spam thousands of blogs. … Continue reading Akismet Spam Catcher
Scott Adams, author of the comic strip Dilbert, has started a blog. And if you thought his comic strips were off-the-wall, his random daily brain wheezes will surely convince you. Today's entry, "Blogging Under the Influence: Today I am whacked out on pain killers because yesterday I had surgery to correct my deviated septum. I … Continue reading Dilbert Blog
I've been tagged by Vox. I wish pingbacks worked reliably because I only find out I've been tagged if I accidentally stumble across the post. 
1) Do you use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? Good golly yes. No way I'd wake up that early if I didn't have to. I'd … Continue reading Blogcess 26
Avantgo now supports RSS feeds! That sentence only means something if you use Avantgo.com (I do!) and use RSS feeds to get customized news (I do!). If this news doesn't excite you, then you're Geek Quotient (GQ) isn't high enough.
I think this is the first time I've ever used the word "meme." Miss Vox tagged me over a month ago to do this - and since I didn't get a pingback for some reason, I almost missed it. Then I wrote it on my todo list so I could reschedule it umpteen times. Total … Continue reading Music Meme
I've changed the default theme, the background graphics, to AlphaOmega (adapted from Stevish 2 almost as-is). If you prefer the older Blue Swirly theme (or you *still* see the Blue Swirly theme and want to see the AlphaOmega theme), there's a Theme Switcher box in the sidebar. Switch back and forth all you want. 🙂
Spammers are annoying. I know I've mentioned this before - behind the scenes here at Chasing the Wind I delete a lot of spam. If you're a first-time visitor, your comments are automatically moderated, meaning I have to approve it. Once I've approved one, the rest are automatically approved unless you use a naughty word. … Continue reading Bad Behavior
Normally, people come to Chasing the Wind to get information. Except while I'm in Germany, information is scarce. What's the damage like in Houston? Any flooding or wind damage? Anybody seen my wife?
I didn't get to read or post today. So solly cholly. It started when I asked my company if I could borrow a laptop for an upcoming business trip, which they thought was a good idea. They even gave me extra stuff to do on the plane. 😛 When they dropped off the laptop, the … Continue reading Computer Gymnastics
PalmSource was just sold off to a Japanese company called Access. The Palm LifeDrive I just purchased runs Palm OS 5.x and is owned by PalmSource. Any techies (Sean?) that have an idea of what this means? No more Palm OS updates? Switching to Windows CE? What happens next?
First, if you're not some techy-geek, skip this post. Better yet, post a comment that says, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Make sure you click on one of the smiley faces that best describes your feelings. Second, Dwight is running an experiment on Full versus Partial RSS feeds. You might be surprised … Continue reading Full Vs. Partial RSS Feeds
About 6 months ago, my computer at work started to make a random buzz once in a while. Not often, not a constant buzz, but a particular pattern that only happened occasionally. Sort of a "bzz.. bzz.. bzzz.. bzzzzzzz" pattern. Last month, my computer at home started making the same buzzing noize. At home, I … Continue reading Galloping Buzz
Forbes has assembled 3000 websites and categorized them, then extracted the "Best of the Web." From Blogs to Investing to American History, you'll find a link here.
Konfabulator was an up-and-coming commercial widget organizer, but Yahoo bought them last week and now it's free! What's it do? A thousand little things, you get to choose. I was looking for a hurricane tracker for Diane and found it. Control your TIVO from the web, Display traffic jams, a pharmacy of drug information, baseball … Continue reading Konfabulator
Yeah, I know I should write something. My muse went on vacation for some reason, taking all the interesting topics. Karl Rove? John Roberts? Kids that breakdance? Why the Inquisition wasn't so bad? How many "Ten Commandments" are there? Which of our two dogs is getting on top of the kitchen table? So many topics. … Continue reading Brain Vacuum
Stuff I'm not likely to blog about this week: - The latest Harry Potter book. It sold a lot of copies apparently. - The Karl Rove kerfuffle. Like the Tom DeLay witch-hunt of last year, it's just partisan yelping trying to find something, anything, that'll burn the conservatives. I think "kerfuffle" is a silly word. … Continue reading Blogging Kerfuffle
I've added a tool for you to use when you find an interesting topic; you can now subscribe to comments and receive email notification. So if you find a topic among the hundreds of myriad topics here, from Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s Girlfriend to Questioning Evolution to how my dog reacts when I pass gas, just … Continue reading Subscribe to Comments Via Email
My name was mentioned in the Houston Chronicle! Or rather, my name was mentioned in a blog run by the Chronicle. Well, actually, I was referred to obliquely as "a reader." Still, *I* think I'm famous. I asked Dwight Silverman on a recent post for pictures on some upcoming Microsoft combined keyboard/mouse combos, and Dwight … Continue reading I'm Famous!
According to Michelle Malkin, MSNBC had 10.3 million visitors the day of London's 7/7 terrorist attack. The most heavily trafficked blog is the very liberal Daily Kos with 212,000 visitors, or 2% of the traffic at MSNBC. The power of blogs pale next to mainstream media. Chasing the Wind is running about 212 visitors a … Continue reading The Power of Blogging
I keep reading about this; I want to participate in the "podcasting" frenzy. I want to be a consumer. What I really want is an automatic way to put podcasts on my Palm Lifestyle when I hotsynch. I want to select podcasts once and have them update automatically. The only software I've found so far … Continue reading Podcasting
I'm checking out a new tool I found at CoffeeSwirls to take online polls. Looks like it's working fine, except I don't really have anything I want to poll about. Vote anyway. 😛
I wrote about this once before, but it's getting closer. CenterPoint Energy has teamed up with IBM to offer a pilot program of high speed internet over your regular electric lines. The company that owns the power lines throughout Houston is running a pilot of the system in a Greenway Plaza-area residential neighborhood, offering Internet … Continue reading High Speed Internet Over Electric Lines
A Florida man was charged with stealing a neighbor's wi-fi signal. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Police have arrested a man for using someone else's wireless Internet network in one of the first criminal cases involving this fairly common practice. Benjamin Smith III, 41, faces a pretrial hearing this month following his April arrest on charges … Continue reading Stealing Wi-Fi
Sure, it does all the thing you'd want from a pair of earphones. For instance, you can stick it in your ear. I was looking for a nice pair of earphones for my mp3 player. I found these Shure Sound-Isolating Earphones at Best Buy: In-ear design with personal fit kit that includes 1 pair of … Continue reading Sound-Isolating Earbuds
I have been remiss, not talking about my new toy. Must have been distracted these last 24 days. 😛 The pocket toy I really want doesn't yet exist. My old Palm M515 was excellent for what it did, but I wanted to add the ability to play mp3's. A camera would be a bonus; so … Continue reading Palm LifeDrive
Been busy lately; posting has been slim. You know, what with that wedding thang and all. Today's not going to slow down enough to post anything; I want to tell you about the KSBJ Summerfest and the Newsboys and last night's ImagiNations dinner at the church hearing about African missionaries and listening to Christian African … Continue reading Posts are Coming, I Promise
Help me. I can no longer remember my passwords. I'm about to go back to writing them on little yellow stickies and putting them on my monitor again. It's the rules. The rules for creating passwords are too complex; what's worse, the rules vary from place to place. I used to try to keep them … Continue reading Password Discombobulation
I'm tweaking the blog tonight. ("So, what did you do last night? Nudge nudge, wink wink, knowhatImean?") Er... where was I? Oh yeah... I dropped the "Reciprocal Blogrolling" portion that listed 15 other blogs linking to me. There was something wrong with it though - of the 15 blogs, *I* was one of them, and … Continue reading Blog Tweaks
One year today, I started blogging. And I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to say or who I wanted to say it to. Today, as a mature blogger, fully one year old, I can fully say with confidence that I still don't have any idea. Not that it matters - I've discovered I … Continue reading One Year Blogiversary to "Chasing the Wind"
My hobby, ever since around 1975, has been computers. I play games, I dabble in programming, I communicate with others... but I've always wished I could just eat my monitor. My wish is nearly here. The Tastescreen has small plastic flavor cartridges that drip flavors across the monitor. "A user can sample the dispensed flavor … Continue reading Edible Computers
Ya know, it should have dawned on me. I bought a Sharper Image over a year ago and was pretty happy with it. It's very quiet, and cleaning it's a snap. Just pull the blades out and wipe; they get covered with black goop so it's obviously cleaning something. And I can put my nose … Continue reading Ah… the Sweet Smell of Ozone
Google has added Satellite Maps. So cool to zoom from space all the way down to your house. All you have to do is click the "satellite" link on the right; click the "map" link to return to the mode for driving directions.
No, really. Broadband internet access is available in the Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve. So why can't my brother get broadband access in his little bitty Texas town? I'm thinking he should start wearing a panda costume.
Apparently the news that Diane & I are engaged has been an inspiration. Not only did Miss Vox get engaged, but she done ran off to Nevada to get hitched, too. Now she's Mrs. SG. Drop by her site and wish her the best!
After struggling for 3 days trying to get my PC to recognize my iPod, I returned it yesterday. Today I received an email from Apple.com: "Dear Michael, Thank you for registering your new Apple product." Amusing.
I returned the iPod tonight; I guess they don't get a lot of iPod 30 Photo returns. I don't know why mine acted so wonky, but I reinstalled the software tonight to no avail. Then I uninstalled everything and took it back. They were having some trouble getting the credit right since I bought and … Continue reading MP3 Player Update
After turning in the possessed iRiver H10, I exchanged it for the iPod Photo 30. I don't think the possession factor is any less. Installation was a piece of cake, but the iPod isn't always shown as "mounted" which is when the software is transferring music to the iPod. The iPod continually cycles between "Do … Continue reading iPod Troubles
Internet Explorer locked up on me. I hit the "yes, send a report to Microsoft." If I can annoy Microsoft with repeated error reports, perhaps they'll eventually fix their products to that I don't have to submit error reports. Today, I get a popup, "Thank you for taking the time to report this problem. Please … Continue reading Error Reporting
I confess: working out bores me. I need something to do with my brain. The local Bally's has some music playing too low to hear and some tv's that are only visible from a few ellipticals. I planned on buying an iPod Mini, but changed my mind at the last minute and bought an iRiver … Continue reading My New Toy: iRiver H10
Best new WordPress feature: the Blacklist. I get a lot of comment spam, and none of it from very nice people. First it was a bunch of online poker sites, but then it escalated into a lot of porn. With WordPress 1.2, the spam got posted right away, and I'd have to delete it later. … Continue reading Best New WordPress 1.5 Feature
One of the banes of running a website is that you pay for the bandwidth used. The more people, the more bandwidth. And if you want to host a picture that lots of people look at, your bandwidth can go up radically. I stumbled across ImageShack today that may offer a solution. Free bandwidth, free … Continue reading Image Hosting
WordPress 1.5 which I installed just this week offers a few more choices on spam control that I really needed, including a "mass spam" and "mass delete" button. I try hard to keep most of the spam off the front page, but I'm probably getting 50 pieces of "comment spam" for various online poker websites … Continue reading Awaiting Moderation
