Love me some Internets

Whatever else happens, our granddaughter was tickled to see her smiling face on this here old website. I’m always amazed that this is even possible. Of course, I’m still amazed at radio and TV, and how they are delivered. She will doubtless regard these as the “olden days” as she grows older. For one [...]

Happy Birthday, Ericka!

Happy Birthday, young lady!
It can’t be you are 14 today; I know I haven’t aged since you were born. Grandma either for that matter. This picture is a couple of years old, I guess. I’ve been hammering on this website for an hour or two, and my graphics skills don’t hold a [...]

OK, Enough

This isn’t as tricked-out as I’d wanted, but it the spirit of stability, my sanity, and saving something to solve for later, this is my last go-round as a WordPress admin for this evening.
Nice livery though, eh?

Overreaching Doesn’t Pay

After a trouble-free WP 2.0 upgrade, I got terribly overconfident, and attempted to install a tricked-out new theme I found. To make my tale of woe mercifully short, I thought it might be expedient to change the WordPress URI. It was a war of dueling rewrite rules, which was solved with some direct database [...]

That was fast!

I spent more time dreading the upgrade than it took to perform. Good to be back!

A little Maintenance

It’s time to make the WordPress 2.0 leap. Hopefully, we’ll all meet safely on the other side.

A Valiant Quicken Try

Is this now an odd/even system of working? Every third try? When the software “feels like it”?
Quicken Sucks.

No Fantasies in Fantasy Racin’

What a day. I neglected to mention my fantasy racing team’s performance following the Daytona 500. I was hoping to mention that in passing today, along with results from the Auto Club 500, from Fontana CA. No way I could predict two blown engines on my team, and that they’d finish 42nd and [...]

More Quicken Suckage

As I mentioned here, Quicken has released a new “stability” update for Quicken 2006 for Mac. I installed it the other night; tonight, I had the distinct displeasure of trying it for the first time.
I had my payment recorded in Quicken Bill Pay, and hit send. I then got prompted for my PIN, [...]

NASCAR Busch Series Prediction

First Big Team Driver Released: A.J. Foyt IV
As much as I want to cheer him on, he probably should check out some other options. Crashes during qualifying don’t a racer make.
