I think I need to learn to to sleep all over again. My sleeping pattern is so far out of whack that I’m not sure how to bring it back. You know it’s bad when you find yourself glued to the hotel TV for a couple of hours watching Urban Cowboy at midnight.
Where’s [...]
Monthly Archive for March, 2007
Ran across this while trying to find anyone that may have the same problem. I like to have the Desktop Alert display the Subject and From when I get a new email. I lost that functionality when I got my new MacBook Pro. Thankfully Microsoft has written a support tip on [...]
Wordpress comment email notification fixed
Posted in Blogging on Mar 24th, 2007
Here’s how I finally got the comment notification working.
I deactivated the wp-PHPMailer plugin that I installed to help with email issues. Ends up I no longer needed it. What I did need was the realization that Wordpress will not send the Author comments to his/herself! It only sends comments from people that [...]
Vonage - another nail in the coffin?
Posted in Technology on Mar 23rd, 2007
Federal Court barres Vonage from using technology that infringes on Verizon’s patents. Vonage will learn in two weeks if this becomes permanent, but they state that this will not hurt their customers. Does anyone know exactly what patents we’re talking about here? I’ve read that it was the technology to allow VoIP [...]
One last issue with hosting my own Wordpress blog
Posted in Blogging on Mar 23rd, 2007
I have searched the Wordpress.org site, the forums, the Wordpress.com forums, Google, and the forums and knowledgebase of my new host, BlueHost.com. I cannot find the answer to my last remaining issue with hosting my own Wordpress blog - how the heck to you get comment notification email to work?!
I tried everything I could [...]
The move is complete
Posted in Blogging on Mar 23rd, 2007
I’ve been wanting to host my own site for a while now so I finally got off my butt and moved to a web host that supports Wordpress for blogging. I was a Simplehost customer for a year and a half. They did a decent job, but I wanted to host my own blog again [...]
I’ve been moving all of my web content to a new host so you may end up with a few page not found messages until I get all of the content moved. The nice thing is I am hosting my own blog again. Still using Wordpress, but just moving from Wordpress.com to my [...]
I can no longer recommend Vonage
Posted in Technology on Mar 21st, 2007
The first year with Vonage was a pretty good Honeymoon; not too many issues, good call quality, and the price was excellent. However, 2007 has not been a good year for Vonage and me; numerous outages, terrible call quality, and times when I could only receive calls, not make them. Very frustrating.
Before you [...]
Fun with Photo Booth

We have one of the greatest beds ever made. I couldn’t tell you what brand it is or who makes the mattress, etc. but I can tell you that it is just a phenomenal piece of furniture. You can’t help but fall asleep in this bed. It’s one of my favorite places to be.
At least [...]
