Navigating Domain Registration – A tale of a near miss

The story you are about to read is true, not even the names have been changed so as to fully implicate the accused. First, a teensy bit of background. I conduct a lot of transactions online, and do most of my business electronically. I own three of my own domains, and manage a fourth for [...]

Caveman instincts

So as you may have already read, we moved from our apartment into a modest house. This was necessary for a number of reasons, not the least of which were our toddler growing up and needing more space, and the fact that I’m working 90%+ from home and needed an office. A couple of side [...]

The sleeper has awakened!

Man, nearly two months without a post here. Google Analytics tells me I’m only disappointing about two dozen people, so to you my loyal readers, accept my humblest apologies. But, I do have an excuse or two! See, I’ve been working an insane work schedule. Pretty much 16-18hours a day 6-7 days a week, mostly [...]

We’re actually further away from this fire than we were from the Gap Fire, but this one “feels” closer because it’s much more clearly visible from our home. The above image is from just outside our back door of our apartment. So far the air [...]

5.8 Magnitude Earthquake in Chino, CA

Just felt this earthquake here in Santa Barbara. It was surprisingly long, and USGS is reporting that there were several aftershocks within a few minutes, all right around a 3 magnitude. Certainly no damage or injuries here (that have been reported), and I just got word from someone in the “City of Industry” in LA [...]

Gap Fire – Day 6

Well, we visited the apartment yesterday afternoon, and found that the wind had reversed and the fire line had moved back nearly to the peak of the foothills behind our neighborhood. Consequently, the smoke and ash too had receded and were being blow in the opposite direction. In fact, it looked almost like a normal [...]

Gap Fire – Day 5

As many of you may know, we live in Goleta California. Over the past 5 days a wild fire has been raging in the foothills of Goleta. The fire has burned over 8,000 acres and 20 structures as of this writing. The fire is ~5-6 miles North by North West from our apartment at the [...]

Welcome to the new home of Random Musings

So here we are. I used www.blogger.com for a while to host my blog, and it treated me fairly well, but I found it lacked features and customization that I’d started to expect from my blogging solution. I’m still getting the hang of WordPress, and I suspect things will be changing around here fairly rapidly, [...]
