Oh boy! It’s quite the cool gadget as anyone who’s seen one or has one knows, but I haven’t had the opportunity to really mess around with one before now. I normally don’t care for anything created by Apple, but this is a pretty nice phone. I already have a bunch of free apps on [...]

Well… I haven’t posted here for a while, lots of things going on at home, work… the usual mid-life responsibilities. I started getting heavily into EVE Online for a while with some guys I knew at work. It was kind of fun, the new updates they have done over the years have really livened up [...]

Well, I haven’t really posted anything on here in quite a long while. I sometimes wonder why I waste my time writing on this when hardly anyone reads it – but then I remember that I really don’t care if anyone reads it because it provides me some practice for writing in general. I’ve been [...]

I haven’t written anything on this blog since August. Been busy, and frankly just haven’t had much of a desire to add to it during that time with everything that’s been going on. Finally got my wife and baby down here in Mississippi with me in a house, so we’re together at last and getting [...]

At last. I’ve been negotiating a job offer from a company for the last couple of months now, and it finally came through last Friday.  The offer was pretty much what I expected, just a few minor details to iron out. The joy came this morning when I broke the news that I was resigning [...]

On this date, sixty-four years ago, at 0100 hours the invasion of France began with the dropping of more than 1,100 pathfinders… who’s job it was to locate and mark the landing zones for the airborne troops who would begin arriving within an hour’s time. It was to mark the beginning of the struggle of [...]

Well… sort of. As with all things that deal with ancient and medieval history, I am usually captivated when a book or movie with a good director captures the essence of the period while at the same time manages to make the storyline one that captivates and motivates the viewer to learn more about the [...]

Danica Patrick finaly won her first race! Woohoo! In Japan, at the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack, she outran everyone else and had more than a five second lead over the second place driver to cap her first win of her IRL career. This is great news, and it’s a big deal in Auto Racing and [...]

Since I lost my hosting service due to insufficient funds to support it, my good friend has allowed me to move my blog here to his service in the meantime until I can get a new hosting service to put this thing on… and I really appreciate his help.  Being without a bit of web [...]

By all that is HOLY. So, for the last few days I’m thinking I got all my theme related issues regarding my links on the right menu bar (under the category headings) fixed. Been posting a few things here and there, making a few edits, etc. Then, today, I happened to click on a link [...]

So I ended up with some kind of crap throughout the weekend. Started on Wednesday last week, I was feeling funny late in the afternoon and evening. Then I woke up Thursday with a sore throat. I figured that it would go away throughout the day… but no luck. Friday I woke up with the [...]

Sometimes you actually get tech support that makes you very happy. I’ve been in contact with my old host provider, trying to see if I can get my database data recovered for my blog (as you can see the issues I’ve had in the previous blog entries). Through a few days here and there we [...]

So, I’ve been looking through the code of the themes I’ve created based on the Dimension2K theme by evilBert (i.e., my Aviation, EVE Online, and World of Warcraft edits), and after messing with all the menu stuff as I indicated earlier I got the menus to function the way I wanted… and to look the [...]

I should be able to actually salvage the timestamp of the old data I can retreive, which means that all those old posts will actually have the correct date and time they were posted. That will be nice… but we’ll see. Furthermore, I just realized that my calendar heading is screwed… so that’s yet one [...]

Like, totaly sucks. Due to financial reasons I was unable to keep my old hosting provider and had to let my account expire. However, due to a major brain fart on my stupid asses end, I deleted the backups of the database exports I’d made a week ago. What the hell was I thinking? So, [...]
