We now have normal blogs, photo blogs, and audio blogs (podcasts) I partly dread the day that Video blogs (or vblogs) start to hit be done. Just what we all want, to see some fat guy sitting at a desk talking about what he does not like or what he likes doing nothing. I can[…]

This is the RSS feed for the Trama Podcast of the Sunday Night Pittsburgh Area Scanner Net I found a php podcasting software called Loudblog. It is not the greatest, but it does the job, and I only have to update it once a week. The software does put up a little site with it.[…]

I have now setup my blog to let normal comments go though (unless they have any HTML in them) so right now if you send a comment that does not have HTML in it should be visible after you post it. If I see any hate posts, I will delete them, also I do reserve[…]

Comments: Comments Off on Track backs are back on, but with moderation
Published on: September 8, 2005

I now have worked a bit on the site. Any trackback that comes in will go into the moderation pool so that they will not be displayed until I either approve them or copy the IP address to my banned list, and delete them. So now I put the trackback file back to its original[…]

I just got the latest version of the bBlog software and installed it on my site, it all looks fine. I have kept my modifications that I have made to my site, so you the users/readers should not see any changes. The changes are mainly on the admin side of the site. I don’t really[…]

I have deleted about 100 spam posts so far from my blog; I am blocking every IP address that is used to spam my site. I hope that maybe some day that I will block so many IP address it will be too much trouble, in the form of cost, to bother to try to[…]

I deleted some old photos on my photo section. I freed up about 100Mb on my space at my hosting company. So this should allow me to add some other pictures to my web site. I right now only have 280Mb free on my account. I have over 1.5 GB of photos on my web[…]

I am getting tired of idiot drivers passing way to close when I am biking, read that as less then a foot to spare. Aggressive drivers yelling at me to “get off the road”. I have had cases where when I am going the speed limit I will take the lane, as it is called,[…]
