I took a Bloginality test. It’s short, decent. Worked for me! You are an ENTP! As an ENTP, you are Extraverted, iNtuative, Thinking, and Perceiving. This makes your primary focus on Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Thinking. This is defined as a NT personality, which is part of Carl Jung’s Rational (Knowledge Seeking) type, and more…

I just can’t keep well enough alone. I changed my individual archives path again 🙂 Looking at other MT tips I decided to change the path, something that was in the back of my mind anyways. I did have them in their main category [folder] like this: /weblog/archives/main_category/title_of_post.php now they are like this: /weblog/archives/main_category/YEAR/Mon/title_of_post.php for…

Cool computer-generated hosted deal States I’ve been in: create your own visited states map or write about it on the open travel guide Most of it was driving. Many, but not all, I’ve stayed over in, but at least the connected states I’ve driven through them in car of our own. I am including everything…

UPDATE: NO LONGER SHOWING RECENT LISTENINGS ON THIS BLOG no FTP support … and no desire to figure out another way for now. Today is December 7, 2004, and it’s been a few months or more since haven’t had “recent listenings” going. Thanks! ————————————- I’ve been working on getting a recent listening from my computer…

I’ve just changed my archiving method. If you have a link to anything I’ve written before, it’s changed now. My Individual archives are dirified by title and in category folders, meaning: Say I have a post on “January 1, 2004” and it’s titled “Happy New Year” and it’s main Category is “Holidays and Celebrations” it…

I had trouble with something on the server, so my sites have been partially to totally down due to dependence on the thing I had trouble with. It’s back up and working now. 🙂 I found what happened to our pullet. The puppies got her. I have a page I constructed for that occassion here.…

Smilies are now available on this weblog 🙂 I have four available for use in the comments, smile, lol, sad, and wink: as clickables. 🙂 😆 🙁 😉

My first Ebay buy came in the mail today! On Dec 2, I found a pair of shoes for Victoria, the size I was looking for, the brand, and the exact same finish and style as I was hoping to find, ones that are like her current too-small dress shoes. It was a new listing…

My sister has been Ebay-ing for a long time. I finally got serious and did something this past weekend. I watched a few auctions for a bit, got AuctionTamer, and started using that to track auctions, and found a few things I wanted. Did I then bid on anything? No. I am a sniper. I…

I nearly went mad [crazy] tonight when working with my network Router. I applied a new firmware upgrade, and the whole network went sour. Each computer said it was connected to the network, but not the internet and couldn’t talk to each other nor print on the network printer, though all the lights on the…

Computers. Ugh. Problems. Ugh. I was on my laptop this morning, literally using it on my lap … I moved it over to reposition my legs, and vrrroooop. The whole this shut down instantly, like it’s magical powers had suddenly vanished into thin air. Nothing would make it come back on. The battery was fully…

We have Windows XP on both our computers, a desktop, and this one I’m typing on–my laptop. I found, through looking for something else online today, that WindowBlinds is available for XP as a shareware model, free download, and use as is. What is it? It’s a skinning app for your OS. I was sick…

Note to everyone: I’m beginning to use PHP on my pages, so all the pages related to this portion of my site, i.e. this WEBLOG, are now in .php Any previous pages that you’ve saved links to are still on the server, for now, but if you REALLY want to be sure and save the…

I’ve worked on my stylesheet and templates for comments … and I’ve worked out all the problems. One fix I heard of was to make the .blog class in the stylesheet to not reflect any background color. [i.e. take out: “background:#FFF”] I did that, and it helped, but the whole gray bordering made the comments…

Our DSL has been acting up the past three days, including today. It just came on a few minutes ago for the first time today. Yesterday it was out a lot and the it all started the day before that. The problem is … I have no idea. The troubleticket that Alltel, our host, had…

We got a Speedstream wireless dsl/cable modem router today. It installed seamlessly. Hopefully it will continue as such. It can connect up to 4 ethernet connected computers, and multiple wireless adapted computers. I have both ethernet and wireless adapters for my laptop. Both are working fine. So, now we all are sharing the DSL and…
