Gone gone Gone away

If you are interested in anything else from me - head to simplyinfinity.blogspot.com and see it all there. Nothing more will here be posted. no more comments accepted or responses made. That's All Folks!

Changes coming up in the near future.

I'm going away. I've pretty much stopped adding to things here anyway, so in the very near future, I'm going to take down everything that's here. Articles, posts, photos, all of it's going away. I'm moving on to new things and I'm going to be putting all my time and energy into them. I also don't feel like leaving all this around as I'm having to deal with an increasing number of comment requests from spammers. So in the interests of keeping my time constraints down, all my blogs and the like are coming down. All my flickr photos are coming down, etc. I'll eventually pop back up somewhere, and if I'm so inclined will make a note of it somewhere, but as it is, no one is coming here and no one is commenting except for spammers on anything around here, so not much point in keeping it up.

Thanks folks, it's been a fun ride for a long time, but life and a new direction has taken me to a point that certain things are less important in the grand scheme of things.


This site and all the associated comments, photos, info will be gone by the end of February 2010.

walking

Getting ready to start my walk today. I've been doing this for a while now and consistently up to 3 miles+ every couple of days. I've fallen off of my daily walk, but I hope to get back to that after this week. It's getting to the colder parts of the year, and I have to change what I'm wearing, but I'm still going to keep doing this. It's helping my attitudes, and giving me a little time alone to think about things. It also gives me some time to actually get back into listening to podcasts again. Time for me to go. I was supposed to leave about 20 minutes ago, but got involved online. Story of my life.

Cleaning up.

Today was spent with me cleaning up the office and the family room. Lots of stuff got dumped. Printouts, 3.5" floppy labels, 3.5" floppies, etc. I've got a stack of burned cds that I need to go through and find out if they have anything important on them. I actually feel like I got something accomplished today. That felt real good. My office is much more organized and I can find things a bit easier. I'm horrible at putting stuff back where it belongs immediately. That's just has to change. With everything else I'm trying to do, being dis-organized is not something I can afford to be.

An exercise in annoyance

So today was as I say above, an exercise in annoyance. Since we got the new laptop (a couple of months ago), I secured our new wireless router and all was fine. Until we decided to make a trip. I've been trying to get a handle on all my email accounts (over 10) and decided to forward it all to one gmail account. This way I'm no longer using a dated plain text POP service to get my mail. If we decide to check our mail while traveling I'd like it to be through an SSL encrypted server. So today was setting up all my accounts, and Tammy's as well to forward to one gmail account for each of us. It's all done now, but dealing with the older ISP webmail systems has been a pain today. I've had to get and change passwords for each of us a couple of times to take into account the new security they've put up in it. I had to redo passords that didn't fit their idea of security and make sure I had all the information down. This also involved finding my Account Pin number from my cable bill. All in all a lot of fun :) .
