Back...for now

I'm back to using WordPress for now. This is nothing against Habari. I'm just not ready for it. I spent several hours for a few days trying to get things to work the way I wanted them to. The Habari c...

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K

For the past couple weeks my traffic has been down drastically. I can't figure out why. Some days it's down to a third of what it once was. Other people have also mentioned how their traffic seemed to...

Moving to the Desktop

Stay Away from Network Solutions

Thankfully I've never used Network Solutions. Before I started doing a lot of website work I just had one domain, this one. I registered it with Namezero way back in high school, I think. After becomi...

Going on a Safari

More and more I find myself browsing the net using Safari. I used to loathe Safari, and on Windows I still do, but it's starting to grow on me a bit on the MacBook. On several Windows systems I found...

So Long MySpace

I've had a MySpace page for a long time now. I've had it before MySpace became the huge thing it is now. I'm not quite sure why I have it. I never use it. The only people I really have friended on the...

I Need a New Host

For reasons I won't discuss here I am searching for a new host. I don't need crazy amount of space and/or bandwidth that many budget hosts oversell. I would like around 10gb space and 25-50 gb of band...

This is Why I'm Hot

No, not because I'm a rapper named Mims, but because I'd changed my site to this sexy new theme. The front page is still basic format as the changes I made a few days ago, just using a new theme. (and...
