While I’m thankful for many good things about the Internet, allow me one more rant about the money-grubbing site that is FB, and I’ll hush forever. Continue reading

Why I was off the grid for four days
The explanation is simple. Last Thursday we arrived from Alabama at my mother-in-law’s house, where there’s no internet access. In the past, I’ve gone into town and used the wifi at the congregation’s offices (which I am doing now). During this visit, however, I chose not to do so, even though we had some updates that needed to be done, after moving our sites to a new hosting service. Continue reading
Bugs on the Web
Would we devour a buggy cake,
With bugs as many as on the Net?
We’d send the baker back to bake,
And make it known we were upset. Continue reading
Strong winds came in with the rain this afternoon and knocked out the electricity, which returned after some two or three hours. I had others things I could do, but I picked up an old novel and read for a bit. The Missus napped. Then we had supper.
Neighborhood boys were out in the rain playing, stripped down to their bermudas. One kid went in and put on his swim trunks. They got under our front eave, under another house’s gutter spout. They’ll remember those good times.
This is a test. Yes, another one
OK, have set up the WordPress feature to post to my personal blog. Let’s see if the thingy works for self-hosted blogs, and if I’ve got it set properly If so, another nice plus for Red Matrix.
Anybody got a news story for BNc today?
Holiday in Brazil is May 30, 2013. I took a poetic look at it on YourDaytoShine.com.
I got SJCampos singing file edited and uploaded to Posthaven. Our congregational site is hosted by WP.com, so unless you shell out more, you can’t upload audio or video to it. Workaround is posthaven.
Two QBTs today. Other stuff I’ve already forgotten.
Tweet, tweet, on Twitter
I put this on Twitter, since it was under 140 characters, but Twitter doesn’t like line returns, so it came out as a single line. Here, you can appreciate it in its proper form.
The tweets proceed, observed or not,
The chatter unabated;
One-forty taps per tweet your lot,
So many thoughts created!
Survey reveals concerns over Internet privacy
Posterous.com hired a survey about Internet privacy concerns. Here’s their post, with a link to more detailed results, but below, as one would expect from a visual society, a graphic with the main numbers. My comments after the graphic. Continue reading
Theme changes, cold rainy weather, a gift, a growth
• The theme to The Fellowship Room has been changed, due to problems that some have with comments. I don’t know if this will be good or not, since it diminishes from the group blog concept. We’ll see.
• Still cold and rainy today. My hands are chilled. I tend to eat more in this kind of weather. Just what I need before traveling again to the US, to gain weight before hitting the Glutton Capital of the world. Continue reading
Who swiped my post?
There seems to have been some server issue; my last post, about my day yesterday, is missing. I’ve written our good host to find out what happened and if the post can be restored. This last one I wrote online, in the blog admin area, so I don’t have a copy of it on my computer. Here’s hoping. …
