There are many people on my contact list that I am completely judicious about sending emails to. I’ve always tried to reserve the tiny moments that I connect with individuals via email to things I consider vastly important, not over extending my welcome.
Well, last night I blew it all when I accidentally allowed stumbleupon [...]

I really need to do something about my blogroll. I’m not sure if it’s some type of integration with my rss reader or a separate page, but it’s been a mess for a while.
If your site/blog would still like to be on the list on the sidebar here, or currently are not, and would [...]

Looks like I’m reaching about a thousand comments on this site, to celebrate I’m attempting to import my archives from an older blog that goes back till 2004.  So far the import tool gets stuck around 70 posts or so, I’ll see what I can do.  Either way, you can find the archives in the [...]

going to wordpress 2.3 was not a problem, but that in combination with an incompatible theme just made my blog explode.  I’m glad I backed up, but restoring that was a nightmare as well.
Some days technology really isn’t my friend, I don’t know why I keep going back to it.
Anyhow, I might be testing out [...]

It’s been a draining couple days.
I just upgraded to wordpress v2.3 that was released today.  The site seems a bit snappier.
I might start hunting for a new 3-column theme soon.

Although I know quite a number of ‘private’ bloggers out there, most bloggers I know wouldn’t mind more traffic to their site.  Not as a desperate cry for attention, but because they have something to say that’s worth sharing.
I’m trying out a new blog traffic generator called Blog Rush, you can give it a try [...]

After being down for over 3 days, I’ve finally switched to a legitimate web space provider (1and1.com).
Thanks to those of you who emailed and commented on how it was a ’solar crashing’.
A friend of mine, ebrian, agreed to co-purchase some online real-estate with me making this site a lot more worthwhile.  The site should be [...]

If you’re not on it, I just don’t know why… Of all the social networks - myspace is too messy, friendster’s too old-school, linked-in is a bit too business oriented, and google-sponsored socialstream is still just a dream - facebook is clean and it works well.
One in three Canadians use it, and Toronto has been [...]

Sweet Lord, my site’s been down for a week!
I’m starting to regret getting my own domain/host…
plus I’ve lost content from the last few weeks. I think I can re-retrieve my posts later, but recent comments seem to be wiped. My inner-geek found a way to get it all back.
I’ll be backup regularly from [...]

I think I’ll start highlighting a bit of the geekier side of me and blogging some of the technology/productivity tools that I use to do what I do.
For one, traveling has never been the same since Google maps came along. It just got better.

multiple destinations, satellite images, live traffic, and now drag and [...]
