Anyone Seeing Lots Of 500 Type Errors?

Let me know if you are seeing lots of downtime errors, usually some type of 500 type, in which you see “Cloudfare” in the middle. I’m getting hit by a lot, and I mean a lot, of bots hitting the blog, particularly the admin login page and one other backend. Like the tune of over […]

The Fishtank Seems To Be Back To Normal

After months and months of water changes, cleaning the gravel, testing testing testing, the tank looks to have recovered from old tank syndrome.

Follow Up On The Thumb

If you’re interested, saw the doctor yesterday, confirmed there is a tiny chip out of the bottom of my thumb, the tip bone back near the joint. No need to cut it open to get it out, thankfully.

New Aquarium!

I was actually visiting the parents from Wednesday, came back Saturday afternoon. It’s a good thing I did. The plane was way late leaving Trenton due to thunderstorms, and I walked in to check my two tanks. Notice a little water around the edge of the 10 gallon, a nice Marineland with the day/night type […]

Mobile Theme Temporarily Disabled (Update) Back On

I’ve temporarily turned off the jetpack mobile theme, because it’s restricting comments, even my own when logged in. Don’t have time at the moment to fix it. Update: turned back on.
