Now that the ScienceFictional is gone, I would like to publish the stories that I wrote for it. I wrote a Viet Nam war flash story that I like. I reworked this one quite a bit quite a bit, cleaning it up and changing some some plot points, adding 400 words. It is still only […]

Web Host Transfer
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
I finished moving websites to 1and1.com. This is the largest web host in the world. My only beef with them is that they use a home grown java based stats program. I would much prefer Awstats, which produces very good reports. They are based out of Germany, but the data center is in NYC. The […]
If you can read this….

I transferred my cthreepo.com domain and 20 others to 1and1 hosting today. After the problems with HostMerit, I thought it best. I liked the idea that it was local and I liked the idea that it was a hacker entrepreneur running the site, and I liked that it was cheap. But, Hostmerit was not stable […]
Lost data
Sunday, February 25, 2007
Once again my hosting company has screwed me. It lost all of the mySQL database data going back to 10/15/2006. How can you do that? It lost a bunch of blog posts and one of my projects is missing entirely. Never use HostMerit.com.
The Illustrated Cat
Saturday, February 24, 2007

The Fleas are Coming
Friday, February 23, 2007
I am having a serious Flea Market jones. I want to go to a flea market and buy some treasures. Here is the up and coming schedule starting in April. I guess I’ll have to just hunker down and wait through the end of February and then March. April 2 – Elephant’s Trunk opens. Good […]
Wil Wheaton Links In
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Wil Wheaton’s blog linked to this site (the cliches list) and instead of 300 distinct users and 500 page views a day, I jumped up to 1500 distinct users and 3000 page views per day for the last few days. Actually that’s not a lot compared to my other sites, but it is interesting that […]
I need a Vacation
Thursday, February 22, 2007
I occasionally dip my left big toe in the job pool to test the water. I have resumes at Monster and a few other job sites. I make a separate email address for each one so I can track where my job offers come from. In the last few months, I have been receiving spam […]
