I have turned comments back on for any user. You no longer have to sign up. This is because the latest version of MovableType (my blog software) has anti-spam and spam blacklist addons, and I want to see if they work or not. Previously I was getting very bad comments posted by spam bots and [...]

It seems everything is working VERY slow on the internet today. Gmail has repeatedly not been available. AVG updates took a few tries. My server has been slow. Various websites. Maybe its just my internet connection is very poor today. Ah well.

Well I just updated the blog software for my blog, and it has some cool new features. Included are comment and trackback spam preventions. I'll get into that stuff later.

I've tried to discipline myself before, but this has been working out so much better. I cannot decide to push the time back a little [...]

Well it has been a slow start back working full time. I have a couple inquiries but no clients ready with cash and a project. I've used this time to get my site up to date with new services sections. I'll be expanding to web design / site management soon. My goal is to make [...]

It's time for another big change that I'm very excited about. Thank you to the many people who have expressed their excitement and encouragement to me these past few days. The change? To resume full time internet business, with a new focus on building websites for other people rather than just my own websites. A [...]
