Finding new and interesting ways to break the blog. this time, get updates by email!
I had planned to unleash this a long, long time ago, but hadn’t found a way of doing it that didn’t result in pieces of blog landing on my living room floor. So, during a time last night when I didn’t have a whole lot else going on–and while my … Read the rest

Happy unraptured day!
Yeah, I know. I fail this hard at updating and that’s my best title? I blame recovering from the last week, which kind of went like this in no particular order. Get moved out of the old place, into the new place, fight with our ISP to actually get online, … Read the rest

Death to spam comments. Or, at least, generous amounts of pain.
For as long as the blog’s been up, I’ve had a kind of open commenting policy. Any entry, posted any time, for any reason, could be commented on by those who happened across it. Most of those, though, have ended up being everyone’s favourite excuses for target practice–yep, spam incorporated. … Read the rest

Anyone wanna guess what this is?
No? Okay fine. This would be, for the first time in a little bit over a month, my attempted reemergence into the realm of this whole blogging thing. This may or may not include yet more mockery, and that thinggy I’m supposed to do about what you guys were reading … Read the rest

The-jdh.com turns 5, and my incitefulness takes a walk.
Back in 2006, before I had much of an idea I’d be getting into this whole regular blogging thing, I thought it’d be kinda neat to try out this whole having your own web address thing. I did the registration process, the configuring, and after a while, I even started … Read the rest

The blog turns a year old without me noticing.
On November 5th, 2009, I wrote this entry. That kicked off my blogging the second time around on this domain. That also kicked off my experience using WordPress as the blogging platform of choice, and moving away from LiveJournal. Since then, I’ve written a crap ton of entries, … Read the rest

Hang on a sec. Where’d November go?
The last time I looked, I swear, it was just coming up on the end of October. I seem to have misplaced the first half of the month of November. Between halloween festivities, technical issues, medical issues and the back and forth and several other directions all of the above … Read the rest

Another win for WordPress. Like it needs it.
I’ve been using WordPress since I brought the blog back to life from its previous incarnation over on LiveJournal. Mostly because it’s extremely good at what it does and, well, what it doesn’t do you can usually convince it to with minimal headache. I did check out windows Live Spaces… Read the rest

Because 2 years of “file not found” is long enough.
Every so often, I have such an idiot moment that it takes me forever to realise I was a complete moron. One of those moments happened, sadly enough, during the rebirth of the blog on this domain. For folks who’ve been keeping score, I’ve actually shifted blogging platforms twice–once from … Read the rest

5 years of blog, now in one convenient location.
I’ve had the domain name now belonging to this blog since January of 2006. For a little over a year starting in 2008, my blog was not primarily hosted here but rather on LiveJournal. Before that, it was proudly hosted here and using Movable Type. As of today, … Read the rest
