Today’s was a long and unproductive stint in the old VeloBarrel. VN.com remains a little twitchy — envision a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs — and this afternoon in addition to the usual hitches in its digital gitalong I started having trouble simply staying connected to the site.
This is problematical if [...]
OK, I’ve done a little research, hollered for help, cursed a whole bunch, sipped a glass or two or three, and finally repaired and optimized my WordPress database, so let’s see if this has sent the censorship gremlins packing.
If for some reason you find yourself unable to comment on one of my brilliant online observations, [...]
Looks like the comments done went and shut theyselfs off again, dagnabbit. All this new-fangled technology ain’t worth a warm bucket ‘a spit, you ask me. It’s a helluva world when the damn’ software makes the meatware’s decisions without so much as a by-your-leave.
A casual search through the WordPress forums finds many references to this [...]
Got a little busy around here all of a sudden, and the madness will continue today with various deadlines involving ’toons and words. Plus it’s gonna be about a thousand degrees outside. Well, 94, anyway. And me with no air conditioning. Oh, the humanity.
Colorado’s typical speed-shift from 60-something to 90-something is always a shock to [...]

Up from the grave he arose,

And two eyes made out of coal.
Hm. I seem to have scrambled my religious holidays again. No wonder the Easter Bunny didn’t leave an iPad under my pillow in exchange for that tooth.
OK, ’fess up, now — [...]
In comments Steve O’ is placing bets as to whether I’ll be buying an iPad. Sad to say, if any Dog-catchers are staking out the Briargate Apple Store in hopes of throwing a net over me, they’ll be disappointed.
I’m pretty much in agreement with former Apple marketing guy Guy Kawasaki, who told The New York [...]
Since I’m going to be away from wi-fi for a spell during my Arizona trip, I thought it might be smart to see whether I can update the DogSite via iPhone. Too bad I didn’t think about doing this a couple months ago. The joys of technology may be boundless, but so are the headaches.
