This is a test to see if the damned anti spam is working properly yet.

I also want to test embeddeded video:

http://shannon.technobohemia.net is my NEW blog. It's built from Drupal, so it's a bit more sophisticated than this one. Plus, it's anti-spam isn't totally out of control. This blog is so anti-spammed that it's not even possible to post a link!

I'll be shutting down TechBo blogs over the next month or so. The only other blog is Xyon's ETN Birders site and it's rarely updated. I'll make him a new one soon.

Thanks for reading and join me at my new site!

The Ringmaster

I created the TechBo blogs 3 years ago thinking that I could give artists and friends a fast, simple way to voice their thoughts on the internet. I pictured a small network of sites that locals could share thoughts.

Well, that never happened. In fact, other than my own ramblings, only the stalwart Xyon has posted anything in the last year and that was many months ago on his birding journal.

Complicating manners, b2evolution, the excellent blogging software that I use has a fatal flaw. I chose it because of it's anti-spam capabilities, but the anti-spam is too agressive, so a user is often unable to use more than a single html link in the entire post. Limiting at the very least.

I'm going to give it a couple more weeks then take the TechBo blogs to the house. Instead of multi-blogs, I'll be setting up more feature-rich and advanced blogs on an as-needed basis.

My own blog will be a drupal blog to be announced. I'm going to try to make it more personalized and feature rich than even TechBo. Other than a few general ideas, I don't know what it's final purpose will be, but it will definitely be me.

I'm working on customizing the main Techno Bohemia site page. The generic template that I'd left up since the hack attack finally got to me. The hack destroyed so much stuff that I'd worked so hard on, it's hard to recreate all of it. Still, baby steps.

I've also fixed the pingback error that the template I use for my blog has been giving. I'll probably be able to post more bloggy goodness now.

It's been a good day, it's snowed enough to cover the world in a blanket of white, and I've not had to be anywhere. Lately, all I seem to do is go where other people want me. It was nice to be able to sit around the apartment and tinker on lots of projects that I've been putting off.

I finally caught up on the last three episodes of Criminal Minds as I worked! Wow! That show just keeps getting better. They've moved from a procedural to a real horror show! The main characters are actually affected by their work! Daddy likes.

Grrr...Lost Dragons.org's url has expired. I want to move it to a new registrar, but it's going to cost $16.

Irritating.
