I was startled a few days ago to see this blog show up in Google as being potentially harmful (e.g., “this site may harm your computer”). As it turns out, we’d been the victims of an exploit in WordPress (my fault for not having upgraded to WP 2.5 sooner). As a result, we backed up [...]

Having taken about 15 months to get to the 100,000-hit mark — and reaching that largely due to our coverage of the San Diego fires in October 2007 — we’ve now reached the 150,000-hit mark in just 3 months. I’d like to think that it’s due to the quality and mix of our entries here. [...]

…”The Beatles do ‘Stairway to Heaven’”, it’s right here. Or just keep scrolling down. And a big thanks! to John Scalzi over at his blog, Whatever, for the link. ..bruce..

Of course, I now need to verify that I’m posting this on the new website instead of the old one…yes, everything seems to be working just fine. If you encounter any broken links or other strangeness, please drop me a line.  ..bruce w..

Not only am I trying out a few more WordPress themes, I will also be moving this blog to its own independent web site (it currently runs as a subdirectory under brucefwebster.com). I’ve already done the same thing to my other blog, and so hopefully have made all my mistakes in that process. ..bruce w..

Besides this blog and my other one, I also have two websites that deal with my professional life: a personal one (brucefwebster.com) and one for my business (bfwa.com). For the first one, I had been using a website design tool that has since been abandoned by its manufacturer (or rather by the firm that bought [...]

We’re in the process of trying out some new WordPress themes for the blog, so if things look a little jumbled or aren’t laying out quite right, that’s why.  ..bruce..

Just a few minutes ago — while I was out doing yardwork — this blog had its 100,000th visitor! And, appropriately enough, from San Diego. Of course, the fact that 2/3rds of those visits came during the last two weeks — and most of those in a 5-day period — takes away most of the [...]

Like I need to tell you that. I’m in Chicago for about 10 days for a patent trial (I’m an expert witness and will be testifying this coming week) and so am pretty tied up. But I’ll see if I can come up with something interesting soon.  ..bruce..

Due to the ever-increasing flood of spam comments, we now require that you register with the site before you can leave a comment. Also, I am considering switching the underlying blog engine from WordPress to Joomla. (Or, to be precise, “Joomla!”) From what I’ve seen so far, Joomla doesn’t work quite as well as a [...]
