HNT – 6

Thursday, September 29th, 2005 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Here is our sixth photograph for Half-Nekkid Thursday. We went shopping for some fall clothes on Monday and thought that we would take a picture of us in our new jeans. This picture is definitely PG-13. We took some other pictures during or photo session but they didn’t quite fit the theme (new fall clothes).

Two For Tuesday

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005 @ 11:50 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’ve decided to start a new Tuesday tradition. Much like the Bored housewife has Braless Tuesday. Every Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning if we don’t get to it) we’re going to post two outtakes from our HNT photo session. Her is our first edition. This photograph was taken while we were “thinking” about what to [...]

No More Word Verification

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005 @ 9:10 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I modified the word verification plugin that I installed yesterday so that only first time commenters are presented with the verification code. This is not as secure as having it appear every time but it should keep the bots at bay for now. The problem is once you implement a convenience for humans the bots [...]

Please Bear With Me

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005 @ 7:30 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

You probably have noticed that I have added word verification to the comment screen. I don’t usually add third-party plugins without modification but the spam in the moderation queue was flooding my inbox. When I get home from work today, I will customize the plugin so that it only asks for word verification from new [...]

I Hate Comment Spam

Monday, September 26th, 2005 @ 11:48 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I am drowning in comment spam. The comments go directly to the moderation queue so nobody else ever sees them but it must be reviewed and purged regularly. So if you are a new poster, it may take a bit longer than usual for your comments to appear. Please be patient. I am looking for [...]

New Shoes And A Question

Monday, September 26th, 2005 @ 11:20 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Girl wore out her soccer shoes and needs another pair. One look at them and you can tell that she is a player. They are only worn in the places where you are supposed to make contact with the ball. (No toe kicks for her.) Her team had twelve players on Sunday and the [...]

Upgrade Hell

Sunday, September 25th, 2005 @ 11:40 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

Accessing the web without virus protection is like unprotected sex with a complete stranger. You might be OK but then again, you might catch something very nasty. So all of the computer in the house have a copy of Norton AntiVirus installed. It’s not the best; it’s not the worst. It’s just what we use. [...]

A Minor Clarification

Sunday, September 25th, 2005 @ 10:55 pm | Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

In the “Ask MCB/CG Day – 3″ post, I said that I was always in the stands at high school football games on Friday and didn’t have much time for myself. To be clear, California Girl and I really enjoy the Friday nights that we spend with the kids. It’s become somewhat of a Friday [...]

HNT – 5

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Here is our fifth photograph for Half-Nekkid Thursday. We took this picture as part of our leisurely Tuesday night. Taking pictures for HNT is a great way to start a leisurely weekday evening. If you look closely, you can see part of my left hand. Since my hand is obviously busy, doing things you can’t [...]

Another Interview

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005 @ 11:20 pm | Quizzes | By: Midwestern City Boy

I got this quiz from can you keep a secret. The questions answered are hers. Feel free to play if you want. You can find all of the rules at her site. If you were stuck on an island one book to read, which book would you choose? The Bible. I’m sure that I would [...]
