I happened to link to my LJ tonight and noticed that it’s been just a few months shy of a year since I last posted there.
Uhm…oops.
I never intended it to compete with this one, but by any standard of regular blogging, that’s still pathetic. So I decided to take pity on the poor thing and […]

Today is the one year birthday of my blog. Though I didn’t quite reach my goal of 365 posts (the total today is about 360), I came close enough as never mind.
I’ve made friends and discovered weird stuff, posted triumphs and raged against the fly-bites of the universe. Best of all, I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
Happy […]
Blogging News and Turtle Stew
Published by June 19th, 2007 in Blogging and Home in the Rookery. 0 CommentsSince I’d promised to get up two posts a day, and have utterly failed to do that, I thought I’d throw something up to explain what’s going on. The problem with getting up posts is tied in with the kids under foot, my mom-in-law staying with us, but most importantly, my back.
The good news is that I’ve progressed […]
I’ve been threatening to start a LJ, mostly so I can sign in when making comments on friends’ journals, and I’ve finally done it.
You can visit Pen and Ink Confessions for the occasional post that just doesn’t fit my mood over here.
Jordan recently had a reader start spouting at him and generally hefting the law in his face, so he posted a link to a Legal Guide for Bloggers. I thought I’d post it here but skip the drama, at least for today.
What I find interesting is how often, when faced with someone willing to go public […]
Don’t worry! I didn’t just stumble into an inkwell of mis-placed time and age five or ten years–I’ve just updated my picture.
This one is still a year or two out of date, but at least it’s got me out of the teens look.
Or maybe it was twenties. I swear, young people are looking younger every day.
I noticed last night that I’m approaching the three-hundred-posts mark, and this got me thinking. Seeing as this blog is the closest thing I’ll ever have to an electronic child, perhaps a celebration of some kind would be in order. It would be extra memorable if I could have an average of a post a day […]
Okay, so hopefully I’ve finally solved my problems with spam comments. It turns out that Akismet (thanks again for the recommendation, Jordan) was sitting in my account waiting for me to turn it on all along. Ye know, I’m finding that sometimes it’s a good thing to read those blabbery notices sent when you start up […]
You’ll notice a couple new names in my blogroll, Jordan Lapp and Von Darkmoor, and I’ll probably be adding more in the next while. I’ve discovered a forum, SF Reader, that has some cool folks and great links.
Check it out. They might bark, but they don’t bite.
Anyone who’s a regular (anyone? anyone?) I’m sure has noticed all the obnoxious spammy comments that have been making it through my filter. The eventual goal will be to provide some extra checks to automatically filter at a higher level, but in the meantime I’ve changed my options so every comment will need my approval […]
