Falling Behind

Kevin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:44:35 +0000

As you’ve no doubt noticed, I’ve fallen behind on my reviews, but at least the reading continues.

I’ll get restarted shortly, but thought I’d drop a note before my fan decides I’m not alive anymore.

We’ll Be Right Back

Kevin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:00:49 +0000

There are those times in life when all your energy goes to just keeping the metaphorical water from getting above one’s head. This is one of those times.

I’m going on hitaus. 52 in 52 continues, but everything else is coming to a halt. I simply don’t have the brainspace or desire to write much of anything lately. Hell, I haven’t even seen The Dark Knight yet. That should give you a clue about how bad things have gotten.

However, the good news is I took action to reduce the stress, so while it may take a bit of time to take effect, things should get better soon.

See you then.

We’ve Been Here Before

Oh yeah. A new theme after I spent what must have been at least an hour on the old one. However, I think everyone will pretty much agree it had problems. Serious problems.

However, I stumbled across this one yesterday, so forgive the mess while I get it cleaned up and if something doesn’t work, don’t worry. It will soon enough.

Upgrades

Kevin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:00:57 +0000

I had this whole post written out in my head warning readers that I was upgrading the site, that things may be broken for a bit, the whole nine yards.

As it turns out, I didn’t need to worry at all. Only one plug-in broke and it’s still got some basic functionality. Just don’t try to look at the library for the time being.

WordPress 2.5 doesn’t have a lot for the end user, but experimenting with the new writing interface and management features is certainly going to be fun for a bit.

If you do spot anything, feel free to drop a comment.

The More Things Change

Kevin — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:24:14 +0000

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Well, only two people stepped up and gave their opinion and both of them seemed to favor keeping things as they are. So as it is written, it shall be.

Never let it be said I didn’t listen.

Taking a Poll

Kevin — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 19:16:19 +0000

So I’m thinking about getting a new domain name, which means the name of the site would change. So I thought I’d gather a few opinions from the few of you who actually read the site.

What do you think of The Bald Curmudgeon?

Don’t be shy. Just go right ahead and leave a comment. If you’ve got a better idea, leave that too. I don’t mind stealing good ideas.

And Now for Something Completely Different

Kevin — Tue, 01 May 2007 14:49:48 +0000

Well, it certainly took long enough, but I finally found another theme I like. I’ll be fiddling with things over the next few days, so if you see something show up and disappear, you know why.

In the meantime, I promise my readers (both of you), that I’ll be back again. I’m feeling another spurt of activity coming on.

The Search Continues

Well, we’re back to the previous layout. Nothing felt right after a few days, but I’ll keep looking.

Fooling Around

Kevin — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 16:01:07 +0000

Just playing around with some themes. The site has seemed kind of stale lately. So don’t be surprised to see it change entirely within a day while I search for a new look and feel.

Be Patient

Kevin — Fri, 20 Jan 2006 02:28:35 +0000

It’s almost been another month.

This, my readers, is why I don’t make any money off my writing. (Not that’s it’s good enough anyway, but you have to start at the bottom.) I’ve always said the difference between an amateur and a professional, is a professional does it on cue. Sure that person you know might be a barrel of laughs, but can they be funny when it curtain goes up and the spotlight hits them?

So far, I’m an amateur. It’s not a pejorative. It’s a reflection of reality. I write when the mood strikes. Not when the spotlight shines. But I do have more to say, so keep checking back and you might be pleasently surprised.
