Archive for the ‘Square Peg/Round Hole’ Category

In honor of my recently passed 8th blogging anniversary, I thought it might be fun to totally slack off on posting even more by reposting old garbage repost some of the early posts. A lot of you who read here now weren’t around back then, so this old crap will seem like new to you it might be neat to share some of my early posts without you having to dive through the archives to find it.

Stay tuned!

According to Scout, these are my top Flickr photos of all time. That cock-flavored soup mix has really run for a long time.

My Aunt Melissa pointed out that SHE actually has the two cutest dogs in the world, so I wanted to give Lexi equal time. If I had any photos of Murphy, I’d give him some time, too.

So I think what we can judge from this photo is that everyone in my life has really adorable dogs.

I’m upgrading WordPress. Last time, that didn’t go so well. Hoping for a better result this time.

Update: That went exceptionally well. How nice to have an upgrade work properly and not have to use the backup.

So I don’t know if this will work, but I’m testing out Twitter Tools to see about the daily digest of tweets thing. We’ll see tonight if it actually works. If it does, I can get rid of the Twitter thing on the sidebar after all, because there will be a daily blog post of everything I’ve tweeted that day.

Fingers crossed.

I’ll keep the Twitter feed public and leave it in the sidebar. What convinced me even more was the fact that I’ve gone nearly two weeks without posting, so at least having the Twitter feed there makes it look like the blog isn’t stagnating.

My concern was that clients would be smart enough to try to get to twitter.com\kendiala – since I use kendiala for email and some clients know that – and that would allow them to find the blog if I was posting links to here from Twitter. I’ve gone to some pains to make sure that I never use my full name here so that Googling my name won’t lead to here. I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter, though. I don’t really bitch about work here much, so there’s not much for them to see if they sleuth me out like that.

So the Twitter feed stays.

Does anyone really care about the Twitter feed on the sidebar? Do you just follow me on Twitter if you’re interested in the Twitter feed?

The reason I ask is that I’m thinking about making my Twitter updates private, but if I do that the feed on the sidebar won’t work.  I was thinking the feed was good because when I go a week without posting, like I just did, at least people can see I’m alive and active, even if I’m not posting here.

So, what do you think?

Perhaps, with spring nearly here, it’s time to get rid of the autumn blog design.

I seem to be not getting comments emailed to me, so I have no idea there are comments until I come back to the site. Hopefully I can figure this out quickly.
