The last couple of posts, I have tried writing titles that conform to SEO guidelines. I’m unsure if it’s made a difference as far as human readers are concerned, but it definitely seemed to attract spam bots. I think I may go back to my old way, which is typically to write titles as they…
I started working with computers slightly before the World Wide Web was a thing. I’ve tried to continue to keep up with the technology even though it isn’t my day job to do programming, design, or server admin. I’ve never really shied away from trying to learn technology. Even though website creation is so different…
I finally posted something besides a test to my blog, and it wasn’t set up to email my subscribers, so you don’t know about it. If you’re interested, my post can be found if you click “Continue reading” below. And I’m thankful for all of you. Here are some puppies. Link to my post: Okay,…
A number of years ago I started this blog and bought the domain meanwhileinthefuture.com. Sadly, I was unable to meaningfully get started with it, and eventually let the domain go. Some time later, I thought about blogging (again) and found that the domain had been bought by some chap who seemed to be using it…
It’s been almost 2 months since my last post. I gotta say: most of that time just slipped right by me. August was A MONTH. None of it fun. I would not want to be me right now. I can’t quite pin down what motivated me to post today. The idea has been shuttling back…
I didn’t have a blog idea this week. I thought a little bit of following up on last week, but I don’t really have much new to say on the subject. I was leafing through my notebook, a bit of a “Commonplace Book” but a little more journal-like, and found a note about reading David…
A great thing about a blog is that you can’t be rejected. I can write as I want, I can even be dead wrong, and can still hit “Publish.” Most likely, few if anyone will read it but it’s still out there. I hesitate to call myself an author, but… the button is labeled “Publish.”…
Well, I missed one. My goal is to post at least once a week, shooting for midweek but usually later than that. I missed my personal deadline though, which is no later than midnight on Friday. Earlier, I was shooting for two posts per week, but life is far too hectic. So, I’m posting on…
Inspired by a youtuber’s analog on-the-go note-taking desk, I decided to try my hand at improving the concept. I sketched it, mocked it up for an idea of size, and then I said: you have a 3D printer, why not print the parts you need? Which I thought was a grand idea. Being neither an…
I wasn’t feeling well this week, so this will be very brief. I’m not really one to get all excited about phony holidays that are probably really just promotions for commercial endeavors, but this weekend is May the 4th, a.k.a. “Star Wars Day” and something jogged a very, very old memory. I was very young…
