Wendy and I took a walk around the block yesterday. She wanted a longer walk but I’m old so I could only do about a block.
Global Warming Just a Bunch of Hot Air?
I’d write more about this but I can’t stop laughing.
via The Register…
Climate scientists funded by the US government have announced new research in which they have established that the various doomsday global warming scenarios are in fact extremely unlikely to occur, and that the scenarios considered likeliest – and used for planning by the world’s governments – are overly pessimistic.
Hmm. At what point do we begin to sue people like Al Gore for perpetrating and forcing a known fraud on the American people? Charges of exploitation, theft by deception, perpetrating a hoax for the purpose of personal financial gain, and I could go on and on.
Game of the Day
Office Jerk
I have to admit to missing this one. My friend Wendy pointed this game out to me. It’s awesome.
Scare of the Month
I drink coffee so much that we had to get a Commercial grade Keurig that is tapped directly into our water system so that we don’t have to worry about “filling up” the coffee maker with water.
It’s great. Insert a K-Cup with whatever flavor of coffee, tea, apple cider, or hot cocoa you happen to fancy at that moment and in a minute or so, you have a fresh brewed cup.
I made a cup of my favorite (Chocolate Glazed Donut Coffee) this morning and after my cup was finished brewing, I couldn’t help but notice that the pump stopped working. The pot wasn’t bringing any more water into the water collection thingy (that IS a technical term).
Of course, my mind started racing. I have a guest coming. She’ll be here for 5 days. How will we make it without a coffee pot? Someone must be called, but who? What is my backup plan? What will I drink for 5 days?
I turned the pot off and stewed for a few hours.
I went downstairs and turned the pot back on. It worked just fine.
Panic attack was not completely avoided but the coffee pot lives.
Isn’t that all that matters?
Earth Day
I wrote the following paragraph about Earth Day back in April. It was a part of a much larger article that I never released. Not sure why I didn’t release it. This was good stuff.
Earth Day. You may celebrate Earth Day and celebrate mother Earth but I can assure you that Mother Earth will not hold a “Human Day” for you. In fact, at the pleasure of Mother Earth we will suffer plenty of death and destruction in the upcoming year. She doesn’t care about you. So, hug as many trees as you like. I doubt they will come to save you when the tornado sucks you out of your house in the middle of the night and deposits you into a neon sign on Borneo Blvd. Pretty sure she won’t give a rat’s ass about the iPod in your back pocket either.
Every once in a while I must bow to my occasional misplaced brilliance.
Not Blogsy’s Fault
I recently blamed Blogsy for completely destroying the formatting on a post I wrote about internet radio. I jumped the gun and in the end, it wasn’t Blogsy’s fault after all. It was my website provider for stuckatmydesk.com. ALL of my other sites are on a different server that I have complete control over. My personal website was hosted somewhere else and I didn’t have total control over it.
I have since changed that. I’ve moved the site back to MY servers and Blogsy is working just fine.
I must apologize to Blogsy. Sure, you make me angry in other areas but you DO fundamentally work well on the iPad 2 so I actually have very little to complain about.
The Actual Issue
I believe the problem was with the server configuration itself. I reinstalled WordPress both automatically through the administration panel and then manually using FTP and neither one of those solutions worked or made a difference.
I changed the DNS servers and tried posting something and it worked just fine.
Combined with the extremely slow loading times I got last night around 8:00 pm, the decision to move things off of that provider’s servers became even more of an imperitive.
Blogsy is highly recommended and you can get all of the latest news at blogsyapp.com
Still Working On It
Contrary to popular belief, I am still re-designing this site.
The re-design also includes a schedule for regular posting which, if I choose not to follow, will result in something really bad happening to me. Ok, maybe not.
I don’t believe that anyone can say that they don’t have time for anything. We all get 24 hours a day. It’s what we choose to do with that time that really matters.
I’m not writing as much as I should right now because I am choosing to do other things.
We are creating a massive media library here at “mini-Google” and I am spending a good bit of time on that.
The noise that goes around inside of this building also makes it very difficult to write. When I get motivated, something loud happens and I loose my train of thought. I’m old. It happens.
As I sit here writing, a big huge tractor trailer is driving through my neighborhood and I find myself wondering why no one has ever filed for an ordinance to stop it.
This is f&^%&^% suburbia. Big f^*^%$^ Mac trucks do NOT f^&%$^$ belong here.
Pardon The Dust
I’ve moved the website from one server to another.
Most of my picture links are broken. I know. Shocker.
I’ll fix them in the next few days.
Thanks.
