My Daily Blog of Nonsense

The death of the blog

Does anyone even blog anymore? With Twitter, I've found that you people know way to much about what I'm doing anyway....haha. So, if you want to know what I've been up to for the past four months, check out my Twitter page. I think I'll leave this Blog page up for posterity and because I know so many of you would like to go back and read what I'm sure will become famous words many years from now.

And, no, I really don't believe any of that.

Gotta post something

I just realized it’s been a few days since I last put something up here. Sorry about that folks! Gotta admit though, Twitter is somewhat becoming a substitute for my blog. I put things up there more often than I do here. I’m trying to work on getting a BlackBerry Storm that’s unlocked for my at&t SIM. Thinking about giving it a good review...if I can get my hands on one. Other than that, check out the Twitter feed for what I’m really doing throughout the day. Until tomorrow!

Winds and websites

annoyed-smiley-icon-thumb32717
Very strange. I noticed this morning that my website, this website isn’t loading. On top of that, these blasted winds won’t stop blowing here in OC. This is crazy and it’s seriously interfering in my riding!

Update: And now the site’s back up. Strange.

New Year website change

Fireworks
Time for another website re-design. I thought with the new year, it’d be nice to give the site a new look. So, the holiday theme is now gone and I’ve got this new theme on the site.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year’s and I’ll chat with you all again in 2009!

Another holiday week

shadow_bike
Another holiday week and it was a long, lazy weekend. It was rather nice actually. The chilly weather in the mornings has made me wimp out and I’ve been sitting on my wind trainer quite a bit over the past week. It’s kinda like two weeks of extreme cold and then it starts to gradually warm up. Just like Summer where there’s two weeks of unbearable heat. I’m gonna start to try and crawl out of bed in the mornings to get out and ride cause, quite frankly, the wind trainer is boring as all hell. And, I’ve got a nice layer of fitness that I don’t want to go to waste. I think I’ve been doing pretty good this off-season (for me that is) and am looking forward to warmer weather and maybe even racing this season!

Some website maintenance

Not much to report today. Did some website maintenance last night and this morning. You might notice some small changes. Mainly, I just updated the main page with some newer photos and finally put up the Yosemite photos from the recent trip taken with my digital camera.

Please stand by...

technical
I changed my website hosting to GoDaddy this morning so the site’s was offline until now. Sorry about that folks! Took a little longer than I thought.

Website issues...uh oh!

question-mark
My blog posts aren’t being published! I just noticed it but hopefully they’ll start showing up again soon. This is really just a test to see if this makes it to the site. Hope so!

Lots to do with the site

rapidweaver
All of the blog entries have been moved over using RapidWeaver. I really like the software so far but there’s alot to learn with it. I will say that iWeb is truly WYSIWYG which makes it really easy to use.

RapidWeaver does have an easy to use GUI but is not WYSIWYG; nor does it claim to be. For personal pages and those looking to make a quick page for family and friends, I highly recommend iWeb. Unless you really want to get into website design and pure coding, stick to iWeb. Don’t get me wrong, RapidWeaver is great but it’s going to take some learning...and maybe some help from plug-ins...to really get a handle on it.

New website design!

under_construction
For the next few days, my site will be undergoing a change. I took the leap and am now using RapidWeaver instead of iWeb to design my site. I thought if I ever started to design sites for others, it’d be a good idea to use another type of design program. Anyway, all of the blog entries will be migrated over and the site will be in shambles for a bit but it will all be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience!
