I’ve been running this website in some capacity nonstop for 12 years now. Bloody hell! It’s honestly kind of amazing that I’ve been keeping at this for as long as I have, given all the ups and downs over the past decade plus, both online and in my personal life. The rough early days where …

Google Chrome, SSL, WordPress, and Hostgator – Or, How To Waste An Evening Accomplishing Nothing
I consider myself a moderately tech savvy person. I’m not some kind of expert, but I manage to keep this website up and running. I understand in general what’s going on, the logic of a PHP database and other things, at least far enough to keep things functioning here. So, when I got the news …
