Support

In the entire twenty years of this website’s existence, I have never monetized it. No ads, no gimmicks, nada. It has been self-sufficient this whole time. But, all of a sudden I find myself in a situation where rising costs of server hosts and email hosts may be too

On Contentment

Lately I’ve been playing ping-pong in my brain about changing platforms. I set myself up on a 14-day trial to host this site on another server and within 14 minutes decided it was too much of a struggle. I’ve spent hours, months and years to get this site

Photo Workflow

My current creative workflow is simple, on purpose. I’d rather be out there shooting than processing or organizing. I don’t have the time or desire to go out for that one shot that will make me famous. I want to create a body of work. I’m not

My Way

I pay a web host for my personal website, my private emails, RSS, and photo services. I pay to support the products I enjoy using and that promise to not collect or sell my information. If it’s “free” than I don’t want it.

The Internet Is Broken

Anyone else noticed that today’s WWW is insufferable? I don’t specifically know when it turned, or why most users became jerks, but I’ll go ahead and guess about 2010. Making money off of content became more important than the content itself. This is a long post, but

Did I fix the xml-rpc issues that were locking out read/write access? SUCCESS

Server Issues

I Want This

There are many things in my life that I don’t need. I don’t need half the technology I have, nor most of online services that I pay for. This includes the hosting for my website. I don’t need it, but it does serve a purpose deeper than

Writing on the WWW

Writing on the WWW

Own your website. It’s important because you control the format now and forever if you want to. No social media because that isn’t yours. Your social media account is just renting space until you are evicted. Buy a domain name, choose a blog host, install WordPress blogging software

XML-RPC Issues

Extensible Markup Language and Remote Calls in Computer networks are a pain in the ass. This file, essentially is preventing me from using my 3rd party writing software. I know there is a work around so I will attempt to find it this weekend.

Consolidation

I am working toward keeping all of my web properties here under a single domain. New long-form posts will be here. Previous posts (2022-2002) are now in the Archive. I don’t do social media anymore but I do like to fire off some quick posts, mostly to myself and

Version 1.0

I have had a need to simplify my websites and the expenses that come with them. Everything changed today. A year ago I transferred this website to WordPress.com for simplicity and ease of use but I gave up too much control. Today, I transferred it back to my own
