Chris registered a new domain for her zine. The old domain name expired and she lost it because the person who registered it is out of the picture. I thought that Stat-Mo was gone for good, but she is busy reviving it. BTW Chris is looking for short stories and asked me to let everyone […]

Buggy PayPal Debit Card Browser Plugin
Thursday, November 29, 2007
I signed up to beta test the PayPal Debit card. It allowed you to pay online with a PayPal credit card that instantly debits your PayPal account. I used this because I had a small balance in my account from FreeNameAStar.com. Recently it asked me to upgrade. I clicked OK. I should have known that […]
Space Christmas Cards, Holiday Science Fiction Themes
Thursday, November 29, 2007
Just in time for Christmas, I got my SF Card site working again. The hosting company made some security changes that broke the site so I had to fiddle with the code to get it working. Somehow H.P. Lovecraft broke and I lost his image. I will look at my home backups to see if […]
Web Promotion and Creating Buzz
Wednesday, November 28, 2007
I was talking to Dave here at work who fools with websites the way I do. He is the only person that I ever talked to who knows anything about Google Page Rank. His brother has an interesting website called GloFish.com. GloFish are controversial. They are genetically altered fish that glow in the dark. There […]

Monday, November 26, 2007

The movie was written by Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. Dickinson is not the first rocker to be inspired by Crowley, who died […]
Dreams
Monday, November 26, 2007
I had a night of dreams. I think that the cats kept waking me up out of deep sleep so I spent more time in REM. Gracie curled up under my arm and Ollie slept on my legs. Max was restless and needed reassuring all night long. It started with my reoccurring work anxiety dream. […]
Why I hate Java
Saturday, November 24, 2007
I tried to log into the Commission Junction site this morning and got this error: 500 Servlet Exception: “500 Servlet Exception java.lang.NullPointerException: null buffer || null address” I really hate Java, especially the bloated frameworks that are being created like struts. The error dumped with a “Stack Trace” and I could see their whole class […]
Little Walter in MensVogue.com
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
I found a mention of this in Harp-L, a harmonica player’s list. I don’t know why a harp player is reading Men’s Vogue fashion blog, so I didn’t put this on my harp pages. Little Walter is the very best Harmonica Player ever, and he looks relaxed and and dressed for a little better than […]
