a little break

So, I haven't exactly been using 2009 to keep up with the randonimity.

Funny thing is, there is a lot of stuff going on...however, for once, it's stuff that I don't feel like publishing on the InterWebz for all to see.

Because life is such a whirlwind at the moment, I might not blog as often here as I used to. But check back from time to time...I might surprise you.

And eventually, when things calm down, I'll be back to writing at least SOMETHING once a day.

Thanks for understanding!

stupid mcafee siteadvisor

So apparently there's a glitch with McAfee SiteAdvisor and Blogger---meaning if you have SiteAdvisor on and you try to visit a .blogspot.com site? Well, you get a scary, red, phishing warning.

So I wrote them:

Unfortunately, today every single Blogger account is coming back as a phishing hazard through SiteAdviser...including my OWN blog.

Can somebody tell me what's going on here? I like that SiteAdvisor warns me about phishing issues, unfortunately it's gone a little overboard. I'm not going to add EVERY SINGLE BLOGGER url to my Do Not Warn list. It's annoying, and I'm sure my readers have stopped going to my blog now that your software has sufficiently scared them into thinking that my simple blog is some type of phishing threat. I hope that if this is a glitch, you'll be fixing it soon and I hope you'll go on the record and let people know not to worry about all those blogs that they think they can't read now.


If you've had this problem, realize I am not phishing for your info. *lol*

*le sigh*

sitemeter is annoying me today

So, for the past month or so, my statistics tracking site, Sitemeter, has been touting a new look and new features...the whole nine yards.

They informed us that they'd be offline on Saturday, September 13th as they moved their site and data. So all weekend so far, I have been waiting with bated breath to check my site stats.

Unfortunately, so many people are suffering Sitemeter withdrawals that it's blocking up the "Migration" login site (for those of us who already had accounts and are switching them to the new sitemeter.) In other words, it's too busy to get in and I'm ready to pull my hair out!

I'll keep trying I guess. And, I'll also come up with a more interesting post later on today...I promise.

long weekend delay

Sorry it's been a few days since I've updated. But don't worry...4th of July related blogs are forthcoming. And maybe a few that have nothing to do with the 4th, too.

Yay.

just to clarify...i am not nocturnal

A friend of mine pointed out this morning that my blog posts are time stamped at around 4AM. I want to assure you that I do not stay up all night coming up with and writing these posts. (Believe me, if I did, they would probably be more interesting and I would have more than 5 readers...at least, I'd hope that'd be the case...but I digress.)

Actually, I tend to write a few posts at a time and schedule them to post at a later day/time. Unfortunately, it seems that Blogger is set to Pacific Time (either that or I haven't found the button to change it to Central), and I like my pre-written posts to post first thing in the morning.

That means that in order for my post to post (man this is getting redundant...) at 6AM, I must schedule it for 4AM. It does, in fact, post at 6AM---Central Time---but it remains time stamped 4AM---Pacific Time.

Phew.

So yes...I sleep. just like most everybody else.
