The Love You Make

…is equal to the love you take

I consider myself obsessive about some of my work–and since all of my work is Internet-related and I own a number of websites at the most basic level, I need to be almost obsessive about making sure I have the very best web site hosting services that suit my needs. How did I [...]

I must have some kind of impairment with anything  having to do with transferring files from my computer to my website. And I hate asking for help! I already did and thought it was working but went to do it on my own and well, the “thing” showed files being transferred but where they are, [...]

I have a confession to make.
I am the world’s worst typist.  No, truly I am and I am willing to admit it. Though I did learn to type many years ago, it didn’t really take.
I skated through and it really shows when I’m at the keyboard trying to compose and I spend more time fooling [...]

Well that was not too bad. I just changed the template to my blog and it has not yet been very painful. I’m uncertain about whether some code made the transition smoothly but I’ll know for sure by tonight and if it didn’t it won’t be world-ending–it’s fixable.
Regardless, the template that I fell in love [...]

Do you have any idea how much time I spend here at my keyboard, blogging my little heart out? On an average day I spend 12-14 hours either blogging or doing blogging-related activities such as research and networking, which help me be a better blogger. I do this because there are a number of traits [...]

 
First off, let me lay out who am to the degree that you can get some context.
I’ve been blogging for five years, participating in forums two years longer than that, and using the Internet for eleven years. I had a career as a licensed clinical professional counselor prior to health issues which are managed but [...]

What criteria do you feel makes a good QotD?
A good Question of the Day should open up the possibilities of an answer that reveals something about me that I might not have thought to write about and in reading other’s answers I’ll be enlightened about them as well.
I need to be able to relate to [...]

Go to Disneyland. I’m serious!
I’ve had a plan to meet up with out-of-state friends at Thanksgiving in California with part of my family’s time spent in the Land of the Mouse. We go every two years. However, my calculations were based on what I was earning at the time I made the decision. Due to [...]

A quiz for all things Terminator
Much more on this website on Terminator: TSCC
That is one of the hardest quizzes I’ve ever taken for a television show. I did OK but I think maybe skipping one Terminator movie did me in! Great questions though. Some really hard even if you’ve seen some of the Terminator movies [...]

 

I have no self control. I’m heading downstairs to watch Battlestar Galactica instead of going to bed. I hated that it was off for two weeks and I’m really hating that it’s the last season and I’m depressed because work is way down and TypePad which I’ve always loved is FUBAR and unlike their usual [...]

Since I keep a number of blogs I have about as many reasons for blogging so to simplify, I’ll keep my answer to the most personal one.
The reason I blog is because I like to express myself. I’ve been doing a fairly good job of that even before I could write. I am intrigued [...]

I see that WordPress 2.5 is available for download.
Without a doubt, I’m most excited about anything to do with new features for photo management.
I really need to get my hands on the built-in galleries because I haven’t found a single plug-in for WordPress.org that completely matched my needs but equally important, my skill level.
I’m not [...]

Think of 10 Internet years ago compared to today. Remember when AOL was a major player, Google was a quaint-looking but fast growing start-up, Pets.com–remember them with the talking puppet commercials on television? No one really knew what Amazon.com was, people become dot.com millionaires overnight. They were flush with success as were so many other [...]

And there’s really no reason anyone should care what I think of it but I like it; it’s a compelling read, study of two young newlyweds on their wedding night in 1962.
I read on the jacket blurb that author Ian McEwan “is the master clockmaster of novelists.”
Nicely said and very high praise from… Oh, no [...]

Some folks I know do blogging for pay.
I sometimes do, too.
At best, it’s very part time earnings which I’m allowed to make though I receive a small disability check due to early onset heart failure.
After several years went by and I improved from a very sad state to a state of “maintenance,” I wanted to [...]

For the past 8 days I did nothing really but be sick.
Today I:
Changed all the towels and started and finished a wash. Spouse folded whilst he watch teevee as I was back on the ‘puter by then. I made delicious Banana-berry smoothies for younger son and I and they came out perfectly! This has become [...]

 
Chris has been sick, sick, sick and home from school and my mood has mirrored today’s weather–bleak, gray, dismal.
I fished through StumbleUpon looking for inspiration as well as Vox’s QotD’s and my saved stuff in del.ici.ous–nothing is inspiring me. I chose this blog to complain in because I’m really tired of reading other people’s blogs [...]

Google’s might drove the shock bid

Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo in what analysts regard as a response to the seemingly unstoppable rise of Google.
The emergence of Google has been staggering for observers and threatening for established players in every market it has entered.
Microsoft’s response could level the playing field.
“This consolidates the marketplace down to [...]

and the sentiment behind it cracks me the heck up! (photo by Gnal)

A small but vocal minority on Flickr are already staging online protests at the prospect of a Microsoft takeover. Flickr is one of several popular Web 2.0 websites owned by Yahoo that loyal users fear will suffer under Microsoft ownership.
As soon as the [...]

Oh my goodness, I just about had a panic attack just now.
I’ve been installing things, mostly “widgets” on two WordPress blogs all day, tweaking things.
And then I started getting a Google pop-up about a navigational key that I needed to procure from the GOOG themselves. Out of curiosity I went to see if I could [...]

 
I couldn’t get what I needed for The Love You Make with the free host I was using so I moved from WordPress.COM to Wordpress (the proper name is WordPressMU(sp) or the like (I may have it backwards) but no one seems to want to call it that) this and my maplelakeontario site which I lost completelyin order [...]

  
This one above is slightly evil, slightly daring, and an undetermined amount of stupid.
