The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
I finally got WordPress for Android configured to notify me of new comments. It still “forgets” that is supposed to check every time I restart my phone; fortunately, I don’t have to reboot that often. Smartphones are very common so no one pays any attention to someone using one; but the idea of thumb typing [...]
Things (both good and bad) always seem to happen in threes. So when our hard drive went bad, and then less than a week later our video card burned out, we were wondering what would be next. Unfortunately, that question was answered on Saturday. The replacement video card that I ordered from Amazon was DOA. [...]
We had a GREAT Labor Day weekend. It was busy; but very eventful. We were both on vacation Friday so we had a full four days. The weather turning cold on Monday was the only thing that we didn’t like. We spent some time on the road so, of course, there was some hotel sex [...]
California Girl and I went to see Conan the Barbarian this weekend. The story line basically followed the “I live, I love, I slay. I am content” plot that is so characteristic of Conan. A lot of battles with some womanizing tossed in. It was a good movie for a Friday night; especially since, unlike [...]
Special thanks to Jim for emailing us and letting us know that our blog was loading very slowly. Everything appears to be OK after we rebooted a router. Please let us know if page loads are still slower than normal. Instead of the customary photo of California Girl that accompanies these “technical difficulties” posts, here [...]
I got some new boxing gloves last week. My second new pair in less than a year. Boxing gloves are like running shoes. They still look good on the outside even when they are all worn out on the inside. And new ones have to be broken in just like shoes, especially if they are [...]
In addition to losing my badge and having to pay the $10 replacement fee stupid tax we discovered that our mail queue was “stuck” and contained over 50 undelivered messages. We apologize, if you recently sent us an email and we have not got back to you yet. We would have realized it sooner; but, [...]
Tomorrow today (Wednesday) is an anniversary of sorts since it was six years ago that we relocated Married in Ohio from Blogger to its own domain. WordPress, the software that we use, was still a relative newcomer to blogging and Twitter had not been invented yet. We think that it’s appropriate to pay homage to [...]
I moved to a new cubicle in the cube farm at work last week. I only received three boxes to move everything in my office. That wasn’t nearly enough for all of the stuff I have and regularly use. So I spent all day putting things in boxes in my old location, carrying the boxes [...]
Because of the problem we had with videos not showing up in Internet Explorer 8 after upgrading to WordPress 3.1, we wanted to let everyone know that we just upgraded MySQL and PHP, two of the three core components that WordPress runs on. It should be transparent; but please let us know if you notice [...]
