As much as I hate snow, it can really be purty.

This is out the window at my desk.
The next day, I slipped and fell on the ice and got tore up good.
Later that day, Lois slipped and fell, and broke her arm.
Snow sucks.

Connection status: Unknown Server execution failed

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Windows Vista » Networking » No network - server execution failed
Vista is a worthy opponent of the technologically challenged.
For some unexplained reason, my network connection icon had a red x, and when I’d mouse over it, it showed the error, “Connection status: Unknown Server execution failed”.
I said, “Connection status: Unknown Server execution failed?” how can […]

You know Vic, man?

I love ‘im!
Well, I like some of his scripts.
VicMan Software has some cool free stuff.
One of my favorites is Cartoonist. Cartoonist is an easy-to-use image manipulation program that lets you warp images and create funny caricatures.

Got Chocolate?

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

I wasn’t quite done perfecting Chocolate Cobbler. But I lost my notes and had to start all over.
This time out, I can think of no enhancements.
If you like chocolate, you’ll love Chocolate Cobbler:

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter or margarine
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using self-rising flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder (omit […]

Fire!!!

Well Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! that is.
It ain’t my kinda music. But it’s probably pretty good if it was.
Just had to give Andy props for doin’ something productive.

Bid your way to the top.

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

I’ve been toying with a link bid script that seems pretty promising. I haven’t had time to do much with it, but what I’ve seen seems great. You can see mine in action at http://global-warming-2007.com/friends/directory/ (it’s just a test setup), or you can get your own at phpLinkBid.
I’ll write more about it, after I know […]

The end of the SEO

Friday, May 4th, 2007

contest.
The SEO World Championship ended, with our entry ending in a moderate 14th place.
I can’t say I’m not disappointed. But I’m still excited and proud of our first outing into the world of SEO contests. When the journey began, I would have been happy with a top 50 finish. But, we were likely […]

GlobalWarming Awareness2007

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

One week left in the SEO World Championship. One week left to improve our entry’s position.
However it ends, I’m quite satisfied with our performance. From what I’ve seen, we probably held top spots longer than anyone. We were number one a short 10 days ago, after holding that position for two weeks. Prior to that, […]

Sometimes I’m in a hurry.

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Let me preface this by stating that I don’t condone or encourage speeding or breaking any highway laws. I’m just going to tell you what I do. :angel:
I have a couple different approaches I take if I want to drive over the posted speed limit on the highway.
1. The mirror.
Simply wait for someone to pass […]

grrrr . . .

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

I’m trying to get some clickable smilies for Anna’s blog. So I’m installing something here to get it right before I do it there.
I can’t seem to get rid of the durned image border though.

I need a day off from the GlobalWarming Awareness2007 stuff.
Heck. I may take two!

If I had it to do over again . . .

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I’d blog.
Yep. If I had it to do over again, I’d enter a blog site into any seo contest.
Blogs seem to be doing well in the SEO World Championship. And they’ve done well in past contests.
The current “GlobalWarming Awareness2007” challenge still has a couple months to go. Although we’re hangin’ tough, I’m sure there’s going […]

Wikipedia shuts out link spammers

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

There must be a lot of entrants in the SEO World Championships. Or, at least, one very naughty one.
“Wikipedia has started to instruct search engines to ignore links to external websites.”
“The measure was taken in response to a search engine optimization content in which webmasters are challenged to gain the highest ranking with major search […]

Untied we stand

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

I can’t tell you how long ago I stopped tieing my shoelaces.
I can’t tell you why I stopped.
I think it had to do with the occasional shoe coming untied, stepping on the string, and not liking it.
One of the first things I do when I get new tennis shoes is, lace them and find the […]
