Blog Round-Up
The Death of Blogging has been touted for years now. Even the term “micro-blogging” for services such as Twitter has fallen out of favor, being replaced by “social media” and the like. Therefore, it’s very encouraging when I come across new blogs that have lots of potential. Some of these have been around and I’ve [...]

Sorry I Haven’t Posted Lately
I was looking through my news feed when I came across an item from Mental Floss about Niche Blogs. There were a few interesting ones, such as Star Trek Points at Things, The Worst Thing for Sale (with some not-safe-for-work content), and a UK blog entitled Dull News in Local Newspapers. One that especially caught [...]

AWOL
Got lots to write about, including a family wedding and trip to Virgina. I just haven’t had the energy for blogging. Right now it’s 3:00 am on the sixth night in a row with no sleep due to coughing. I’ve tried every remedy imaginable, to no avail. The doc has given me an inhaler, and [...]

Blogging Drought
Things have been very hectic around our household lately. I worked all last weekend getting ready for school to start, and have spent several late evenings at work this past week. As such, I haven’t done much exploring, paddling, or photography. This weekend we’re hanging around the house trying to catch up with errands. So, [...]

Blog Migration Complete
It’s done. I now have more control over my online destiny. Today I migrated my domain name, randomconnections.com, to a host that gives me more flexibility and management – Godaddy, of all things. First, the saga of the blog… My old web hosting company was Accuwebhosting. It was an absolute pain in the posterior, as [...]

Creative Spam
So far my blog is recovering nicely from the hack attack on it last week. I’m not seeing any of the incoming links for various pharmaceutical products. I do still get spam comments, though. Fortunately, Akismet is doing a pretty good job of making sure I don’t have to waste time on those. Even so, [...]
Header Images
I’m still playing around with this new admin interface for WordPress, and so far I like it. I’ve found a few things missing from the old site, though. Any non-Flickr image from one of my old galleries seems to be gone. I think I could retrieve them, if need be, but this includes all images [...]

Blog Rebirth
The deed is done. Not since I switched from a home-built ASP-coded blog to WordPress has RandomConnections undergone as many radical changes. None-the-less, here you are…the New and Improved™ RandomConnections! I finally got completely fed up with my old hosting company, AccuWeb Hosting. The service was locked down so tight that I couldn’t use even [...]

Blog Existentialism
Dear Readers: I’m having MAJOR problems with the blog and with the hosting company, Accuweb Hosting. The latest is an apparent virus attack on the blog. I have the Akismet plugin which is supposed to block spam comments. However, something keeps disabling that plugin. Therefore, until further notice all commenting on posts has been disabled. [...]

Blog Update
Things may be a bit sparse of the next few weeks as far as posting is concerned. We are dealing with some serious issues on both sides of the family, and I may not have time to write as much as usual. Not that there’s been a lack of things about which to write. I [...]
