So, looks like I’ve really been keeping up with this blogging thing. Last time was August 3rd…. Well, to be honest, that was the last time I posted. I see a draft here about a new laptop and Vista that is waiting for completion.. I’m gonna count that as a 75% complete blog session (my blog, my rules).

I just spent all of 10 minutes installing yet another Wordpress blog, this time for my dad. I can’t get over just how easy it is to create one. All you need is the ability to create a MySQL user and database (cPanel on any Linux hosting provider gives you that), FTP or (preferably) shell access to the server and the ability to edit a text file.

Wordpress has a famous 5 minute install that you can follow to do the job, the extra 5 minutes (in my case) is used up going back into cPanel and then phpMyAdmin to rename the default “admin” account to something else and to tweak the permalinks as I just can’t stand the default. Poof! You got yourself a new blog and you’re ready to share your opinions and inane blabber with the rest of the world!

Check out my Dad’s blog, he’ll be posting topics he covers on his weekly WATD radio show.

I’ve decided that in an effort to do more with things I enjoy that I’ll be picking up blogging here. I’ve pretty much let all of the fun geek stuff I do fall off of a cliff into oblivion. That of course leads to just being bored and uninterested in the “stuff” that I do. Time to change that

I hope to pick up on my Linux blogging over on my other site as well.. For now I just want to get started again. What you’ll find here is stuff that *I* find interesting. Crap about my life, my interests, whatever. That will most likely lead to some geeky things, some fun things, some really horrid gallows humor and other awful things. Just have to see where it leads to.

For now, check out this site: http://icanhascheezburger.com/. I like it because the kitteh comments crack me up. Sure there’s some cute animal stuff, but if you’ve ever spent any time reading IRC chat or watching the cool kids talk in 1337 speak, you’ll enjoy some of these. The wife and I have pretty much sat in the family room reading each and every one of these.

So here it is, my little place.

For now, this is here for testing. I want to try out some nifty stuff and I need a place to do it.
