The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
I HATE Blogger! It was only a few months ago that I was complaining that Google changed the way that OpenID works for leaving authenticated comments. They changed things again on Sunday or Monday so once again I couldn’t leave comments on anyone’s Blogger blog. Of course they never announce their changes beforehand or even [...]
As many of you know, I take care of things around MariredInOhio.com myself. It’s usually not a problem being your own system administrator except when you spend all evening trying to fix a problem with your mail server; only to discover that it’s actual a problem on the receiving system. Monday was one of those [...]

Did a lot of tinkering with the number of posts on the front page to speed up page load times. Finally I wrote a plugin that shows all posts published in the last seven days on the home page.
Created and published our favorite HNT photo post of the year.

Got California Girl a nice skirt [...]
I won’t know for sure until Sunday or Monday but I think I have finally fixed the server software issue that was intermittently causing Married In Ohio to crash. I’m sure that I have found the root cause; however, I won’t know until we don’t have any crashes for a while that my solution corrects [...]
You may have noticed that I haven’t been commenting much on everyone’s blog recently. That’s for two reasons. Firstly, our OpenId server was broken after the most recent upgrade so I couldn’t; comment on Blogger blogs that don’t allow anonymous comments. And secondly, the server which hosts Married In Ohio has been intermittently crashing. So, [...]
I upgraded to the latest version of PHP (5.3) today. Unfortunately it did not go as smoothly as planned. Something strange happened earlier this evening and the blog went outline. I was drowning my sorrows over the Bengals’ loss so I didn’t notice until just a few minutes ago. It was a PIA to upgrade [...]
Married In Ohio will be down for maintenance starting at 8:45 A.M. on Tuesday. I’m going to replace the hardware that malfunctioned this past weekend. I expect the outage to last for 45 minutes or so; but there is a slight chance that it could take longer than expected to get everything reconfigured. I apologize [...]
We experienced a hardware malfunction on Saturday afternoon that was not fixed until 4PM. So, we were unreachable for almost 24 hours. I know this sort of thing happens; but we always seem to have network problems when tech support (me) is unavailable. (It doesn’t happen that way every time; but it’s not memorable/noticeable if [...]
I’ve haven’t been blogging much recently because I’ve been spend most of my spare time “fixing” the OpenID provider that I use. Fixing is in quotes because it worked everywhere except Blogger which, unfortunately, is where I use my identity the most. Google made several changes underneath the covers that altered the way people who [...]
Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been laving as many comments recently. I didn’t I stop reading everyone’s blogs. I just can’t comment when I’m using OpenID to authenticate. If you are on blogger and have the “Who Can Comment” option set to “Anyone” then you probably haven’t noticed any difference except [...]
