There seem to be some some web pages that I view constantly, several times a day. My Etsy statistics page is a good example: I stalk my stats almost hourly ;-) But, sometimes it can be hard to find the right tab in amongst all of those many, many web Read more…
I always forget this, and I forget that it applies to routers too. I’ve been having some weird problems lately: I couldn’t connect to my bank’s website, my son couldn’t connect to the AppStore from his iPod, and I couldn’t view my favourite forum, Lampworketc.com (LE). Actually that’s not entirely Read more…
I was getting a bit fed up with apologising for my website because it hadn’t been updated in eons. Part of the problem was that my photo organisation was out of control. So I finally sat down and did something about it. I purchased Adobe Lightroom 2 a few months Read more…
I made an accidental discovery while typing in a form field in Safari: Typing control-B moves the cursor backwards in the field.

If I typed a search term in the browser’s search box, or if I entered www.google.com in the address field then I got: Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Read more…
Ugh. This makes me feel a bit creepy. I was idly perusing my web server’s access logs and discovered that every few days a different server starts a probe on my server. Looking for shopping carts, blogs, database admin tools, anything. Yuck.
Over the last few days my IP address has been changed. Most of the domain names that I have registered (and there are a few of them) seem to work again, but I had problems yesterday with the sub-domain name that I have been using to test my website dev.icedmoments.com. Read more…
Well, I gotta admit that I feel a bit silly having a blog. Sorta like talking to yourself. Anyway, to calm my nerves, here’s a little post about the blog software that I am using: WordPress, of course, and the theme is unwakeable by Tyler Longren. I have made some Read more…
