My DSL line served me well, almost 20 years. It lived through 4 different ISPs, each getting bought and sold along the way, but always the same circuit. When it was first installed I felt like the fastest man on the Internet. 1.5M downloads, 786K uploads, low latency. That was a long time ago. The […]
We have the AcuRite Wireless Weather Station 01517, kind of a “middle tier” station that includes wind and rain gauge, but does not use Wifi or connect to the Internet to report data. It talks over radio frequency to a base station inside the house which has about an 8 inch LCD color screen for […]
GoDaddy seems to have moved some servers unexpectedly. A number of my web sites (WordPress) all went offline. I wasn’t sure of what the cause was when noticed – I couldn’t remember all those database passwords to get into PHPmyAdmin to figure out what was going on and GoDaddy has no contact mechanism now except calling […]
I’m in the process of relocating my travel log from Blogger to another folder I’ve set up with a copy of WordPress. I did this all from the GoDaddy account management page. They’ve really improved their management tools, and it was completely easy to do. The only mistake I made was getting impatient with the […]

I preferred the Twitter for WordPress I was using; it was simpler configuration and didn’t try and have a lot of its own formatting so it was easy to fit in as a menu item […]
Google has changed their maps program (browser version) in a pretty substantial way. For a while, they were running “classic maps” next to the new map function, so there was no reason to explore the new version. Now, they’ve shut down the classic version and only support the new version. I haven’t spent much time […]
I was building some image files of scrum boards I’m using to help manage things, and wondered if there was something in Graffletopia for this. Graffletopia is a fantastic resource for OmniGraffle users, and OmniGraffle is a great program for creating image files. The simple description is that its a Visio-like drawing tool that uses […]
Traveling for work, and in the middle a big crunch so I spent the 8 bucks to use the in flight WiFi Southwest has as a service on most of their newer planes. Two flights, about 5 hours in the air, so $1.60 an hour to stay connected seems acceptable. I’ve mostly ignored paid WiFi […]
