The last post

January 12th, 2010 · 23 Comments

(Well, sort of anyway.)
As I mentioned, I’ll say good bye, but I’ll come back and update you once the lawsuit is over. A month or so after that, I’ll reduce the site to a few posts. I have decided that in addition to the few I’ve mentioned before, I’m going to keep all The Shire [...]

What’s up for the last three days

January 10th, 2010 · 9 Comments

Today there will be a Sunday sermon, so put on your best and head to the pews. It will, however, be written during the Packers football game (Trying to pack (giggle) it all in today.) so don’t expect it until later.
Monday is going to be unpredictable. I’ve got stuff to do, so I may not [...]

Last Post Party

January 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment

We’ve joked about this off and on, but I’m game if you’re willing. As one comment said, though, I think it’s best to keep the location out of the knowledge of a certain someone.
Sooo…let me think. If you’d be coming to a last post party, that means you are willing to let your ID [...]

Stuff you should know

January 9th, 2010 · 8 Comments

As the sun heads down on another day,
It dawns on me – we’re only three away.
(Someone’s rather influential!)
But really,
There are some things you should know. But first, a melancholy moment:
I’ve mentioned before how growing up I always liked politics. Never in my life did I ever dream I’d have the opportunity to participate in a [...]

This girl needs help with her RSS feed reader

January 7th, 2010 · 3 Comments

I’d like to set my Google reader in a way that I only get summaries even if someone offers full feed. I played around with it a bit, but couldn’t find a setting as such.
Any ideas?

Just thought I’d let you know how your IP shows up from work. That “scottb” is really an interesting clue!

Lawsuit update

January 6th, 2010 · Comments Off

TodayYesterday (whoops!) a judge confirmed that I did not have defense coverage under my homeowner’s policy. I had filed a claim several months ago in good faith thinking I was covered, but the policy said otherwise. It’s taken all this time to straighten it out.
The interesting thing about a ruling of this kind is that [...]

Oh, wait.

January 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Are you waiting to hear from me?
I’m fried this morning for some reason. I did lift, and that wipes me out, but usually my brain still gets to work.
Not so today.
I’m trying to put together a couple of things of national scope, but it’s not going so well. Maybe I’ll just give in and grab [...]

January 5th, 2010 · Comments Off

Oh, I know, this stuff has a limited audience, but I’d still like to get it out there before I go.
Mashable has an interesting bit out about community building. They direct their work to journalism outlets, but really, a lot of it applied here, too.
Items 1 through 4 are important in developing readership loyalty. Number [...]

Oh WordPress, I love you.

January 5th, 2010 · 3 Comments

The 2.9.1. upgrade is out this morning. So, I clicked one button, and boom! It’s done.
WordPress, an open source blogging software, has really moved more towards a content management system over the last couple of years. Although I’ve learned a bit of code here and there making modifications, you really don’t have to know much [...]
