Hacked and Fixed

Stuff it, hackers! You got nowhere with my blog.
I discovered a problem when a reader told me she had a Trojan warning from this blog. I Googled, tinkered and upgraded and firewalled, and it’s all good now. With a pre-spring floral theme. Ta daa!.
Here is the fix, in case you have similar on your blog.
Instead [...]

About Not Blogging

I noticed that I wasn’t doing Holidailies about three or four days ago, and I kept thinking of things to write about. However, I never quite got the impetus or sufficient guilt to sit down and write. So much of what I want to say is mundane to the point of utter solipcism. So much [...]

Shiny

Now I’m really behind… having skipped another day, with no catch-ups. Ah well, the sop to my conscience is that at least I’m busy and living well, rather than grinching in the background.
Yesterday, we drove up from San Diego to Los Angeles… I intentionally wanted to take all day. We took the PCH from Camp [...]

IATW Manifesto

It dawned on me that I need to work on an “artist’s statement.” Which isn’t the typical kind of me-me-me statement about my aesthetic. It’s more of a discussion (treatise?) on why creativity is so important to me and why it can be, should be vital to others.
I have a new book from Amazon entitled [...]

Holidailies 2008

The Holidailies start tomorrow. This is a yearly blog writing project, totally voluntary, and loads of fun. I pledge to post every day for 31 days from Dec. 5 to Jan. 6. While I plan to stick pretty close to my theme of creativity, art, and the process of opening up to it, you can [...]

I Am This Blog

There have been many many blog ideas come and go in the past few days. I cannot spend the time to do justice to any of them. I’m leaving for Africa on Monday, and my experience with international travel is that, despite global economy, it is unlikely that a Walgreen’s will be on every corner. [...]

Birthday Cards

(37 of 50)
At last, the long awaited for post about the birthday card project!
I received about 70 cards. I say “about” because I collected 65 by June 17 (the cutoff date), but there were a few stragglers around 4 or 5 or 6 in number, and some of my close friends sent cards to the [...]

Yes, Praise the Lord

(21 of 50)
This is an example of the kind of crap I have to delete every day. Similarly, I get fake, robot tracebacks (or whatever they are called) from “blogs” that say, “This entry is really good. Check it out!” which is really just another attempt to get real people to click on their pathetic [...]

Apologies to Readers

Argh. I have two entries on this blog that have attracted an amazing amount of spa&m. Usually 10-20 messages a day. As a tidy blogger, I try to flush those out every day. This morning, I clicked the wrong thing however, and deleted the sp^m PLUS bonafide comments ON THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF ENTRIES.
Argh! [...]
