Web sites changes
It’s been a long process but last night I have finally released changes to the content part of TripleWhiteFox.com that make management of it much easier. By “content part” I am referring to everything but the blog and forums. My old way of maintaining the site was through hand-coded...
Using twitter
For a little while now I have been updating a twitter stream. A snap shot of it is over on the right to make it easier to watch. It seems like a good way to get out small updates that don’t warrant a full blog post...
The forums are down
Several of you have emailed me to inform me that the forums are down. Thank you. I have been working on getting them back up. I have a situation that I cannot resolve on my own and am awaiting help from my web hosting provider. I have to admit...
Forum changes in the works (mvnforum -> phpbb)
Over the past few weeks I have been spending considerable time on a strategy to upgrade the forums. This was prompted by the increase in bogus forum registrations which were followed by several spam posts under those bogus accounts. This problem was also observed on other sites that use...
HP Laptop Woes
I generally don’t like to focus on the negative in my posts but this time I need to vent. My laptop is driving me nuts. It is an HP dv8000 purchased about 4 years ago. That’s probably a good life for a laptop but given that I take very...
iPod Integration for the 1993 Mustang Factory Stereo
My car has a factory stereo with CD player. The CD Player doesn’t work too well but it’s one of those options that make my car unique. After all, 1993 was the first year for a CD player in a Mustang. In thinking ahead to my 6 hour trip...
Success with first mailing using phplist
I have a confession to make — I send bulk email. It’s good content, though. Honest. Most readers of this site probably received an email yesterday. It was the first I sent since redoing my mailing list. I had previously maintained the list in my email program, Lotus Notes....
ebay Auction Tracking: The Next Step
It’s been a while since I last wrote about ebay Auction Tracking. Probably, that’s because nothing has happened in that space. It just works. My goal has always been adding value to what you can do yourself with searches on ebay. That value would be that my list directly...
Web site availability today (04/20/2008)
In my area, it was way too nice out today to be surfing the web but, while I was having lunch, I was trying to catch up on things related to this site. I am readying a second email on the plans for the 2008 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals, I...
Earth Hour, Kill-a-watt and electricity usage
Last night’s Earth Hour reminded me that I had wanted to write about electricity usage at my house and had already drafted this entry. It turned out that Earth Hour was not well observed in my neighborhood. It looked like every other night on my street. Our house was...
