Well, I’ve got a lot to talk about, but not much time, so I’ll just highlight one thing and that’s the site. I’ve changed hosts. I stuck it out with Dreamhost for an entire year and finally gave up. The site was down more often that it was up it seems. Hopefully everybody’s DNS resolved […]

Well IGN began publishing again today after the holiday break and I must admit it’s good to be back. Along with getting the new Dell PC, I moved my computer station to another room. I still haven’t gotten everything unpacked and sorted to where I want, so I’m really “out of it” right now. I […]

Well, tomorrow brings about a new year and to be honest, I feel like crap. For the past few days, I’ve felt like I’ve been struck by a cold, and this morning it finally hit. I can’t stop blowing my poor red nose! It’s been a long time since I became sick. I just hope […]

My website has been very slow for much of today and I’m giving some thought to changing hosts when my subscription runs out. Dreamhost has a history of over-selling and I witness the problems every now and then. I understand that every webhost has it’s hiccup from now and again, but my site’s either down […]

When looking at a few old posts, I noticed that the images I uploaded when I posted the article weren’t working. It looks as though I accidentally deleted those images when I upgraded the blog software. I completely forgot about those pictures. So now some posts don’t make much sense without the images.

Another upgrade came out from WordPress, so I quickly updated it. Damn, that didn’t take long… two days after I upgraded this thing, another comes out.

I just activated Akismet to deal with the blog spam I’m getting bombarded with. Ogre’s used spam karma, but Akismet should help me out quite a lot. We shall see… UPDATE: Less than a full day later, I admit I am loving Akismet so far. It’s blocked quite a lot of spam so far.

When I started this blog, I launched it with a version of WordPress which was released the same week. Since then, I’ve resisted the urge to upgrade with every software update. After chatting with Ogre, I decided I may as well upgrade. He needs to do the same — his is more out-dated than mine […]

It’s been a while since I made any new blog entries. I’ve been working on another guide for IGN Guides and have just completed it. I haven’t had much time to watch TV recently, so I have a lot of catching-up to do. Last night and this morning, I added several more of my old […]

That’s got to be the lamest title I’ve had so far for this blog, but I frankly couldn’t come up with anything. I used to just use dates like this when I blogged on TV.com, but since then, I’ve tried to use titles which were specifically related to what I intended to write about. I […]
