A Minor Oops

Just noticed that all comments had been wiped out. 

I’ve finished replacing the missing comments.

Sorry to any of you who thought I was being a prick.

Chores of the day…

Poo Patrol!

Thank you Saint Mike Rowe you are an inspiration to me each and every time I have to dig out that little shit shovel!

Weedwacker

Weed whacking.

This activity always results in my bleeding. Today it was a busted knuckle… There’s a lot of small rocks and in some places little bits of melted metal and fused glass. I always start the weed whacking process with a walk over the ground to pick up anything loose or sharp. I always miss something and whatever I miss always ends up being flung at a high velocity toward whatever exposed skin is closest. Today it was my left knuckle… Last week it was the back of my right hand.

Technology issues.

Last night I flip on the satellite box in the living room and my TV image was a lovely shade of pink. And that lovely shade was on all channels. I’m thinking it’s something with the satellite box, reset, power down, reset and for just an instant everything is good then PINK! After many hours and substituting cables, moving things around and generally messing around. I come to the conclusion that if I remove the surround sound system (Which all HDMI is routed through) the problem goes away. I call the manufacturer and they’re very nice they tell me I’m out of warranty but that for a flat (and inexpensive) rate they’ll make necessary repairs then return the unit to me with a 1 year warranty. Nice! Service with a smile. They even apologized for the repair possibly taking up to two weeks. Really? That’s nothing… I’ve rerouted all the HDMI cabling to use the TVs internal systems so it’s no big deal. I did however choose not to connect the XBox directly to the TV. Not that I couldn’t it would just require getting behind a credenza and working in a very narrow space which I would have to undo when the surround system gets back. As it stands, Satellite, Apple TV, and DVD are all online I can live without the XBox for a while. If I really need an XBox fix… I can always make the connections.


I’m Hooked!

I’m totally hooked on my new Domain host provider.

These folks rock!

There’s a steep learning curve to any new venture and so far I’m impressed with the way things are going. While I haven’t been living on their phones I can say that they’re there 24/7 and It’s really nice to know that.

For example, I’ve been bringing things online just by poking around in their menus. My new blog is an example of “Oh Yeah… I want that blog here…” Then installing the appropriate stuff.

I was thinking “OH Shit!… I really don’t want to have to transfer each item one by one” Then I noticed  simple little application that said it could grab my entire Blogger blog and move it.

I was dubious… But figured hat the hell? I have direct control over the files and If necessary I can blow em all away and recreate the new blog site.

Guess what? The little application worked just as advertised. These folks also handle moving your Apple web pages seamlessly and can take the data right from your existing iweb application.

So here’s my recommendation Click on the animated link below, It’ll take you to their site and they’ll get you started right away.

As I progress I’ll occasionally post updates about my experiences.

Thus far… I’m seriously impressed. If a moron like me can make heads or tails out of the way they set things up… ANYBODY CAN!
