After loving to make fun of Twitterers (?!), after both this and my Linux sites going down for several hours last night, I decided to open a Twitter account for anybody interested in bookmarking or following in case the sites are down.
The Twitter page is twitter.com/n3mtj and will also serve my Linux and Open Source site.
I will most likely not tweet much unless the sites go down, or I want to get some news out right away. I have a life so I will not be tweeting the fact that the dog stretched and fell out of his favorite chair for the umpteenth time.
EDITED to say that I will likely tweet tech related news that I find extra interesting and want to share.

The 13th version of WordPress has hit the servers for everyday use.
Check out their blog entry announcing the release and exciting news about the future of WordPress. Instead of rushing to develop a 3.x release, they will be working on the whole “WordPress experience” as WordPress is much more than the open source blogging application that it started out as years ago.

If you notice to your right, under “Photos and Notes”, you will find references to pictures. I have been unable to make Gallery work, so I’m putting them here.
Most of the slow loading ones are the larger ones that I made large just in case you want to use one for wallpaper.
I will be adding pictures as I can.
Enjoy!!!

Hopefully my host has the database access issues solved. I took this opportunity to upgrade WordPress, and will once again be fiddling with it.
So, here goes, I did manage to upgrade it without borking anything up, so that is a very good start! 
Oh, I found some Emoticons, didn’t I?? I promise to not drive you up the wall (too far) with them.
I have found one possible hiccup, I don’t know how my saved tags will work, we’ll see……
Update: It looks like the tags work OK, they just don’t show up as I enter posts. I see that an editing glitch has been solved, too. That is where if you go back to edit, you sometimes lost the extra spaces between paragraphs.

As I look for more plugins for WordPress, it has occurred to me how some sites are almost painful to visit as more and more things show up on them supposedly making for a “better visiting experience”. It seems that many simply have features fighting to be noticed. Of course this takes away from the “experience”!
Balance is hard to achieve, I know. I am constantly adding, and then removing features from what I have here on the site. I have broken my forums once, and my photo gallery three times (one day I broke it twice!) fiddling with things. I’ve also added toys enough to have my site flash more than a cheap Christmas tree only to come to my senses and clean things up, hopefully before too many people noticed and ran for their lives.
Since WordPress 2.3 supports tagging, I may do away with the category scheme and stick to tags only. I think tagging is easier to implement, and a lot more flexible in the end run.
I think the adage of always “leaving them wanting a bit more” holds in online experiences, too. Hopefully visitors here will find plenty of interest without being overloaded.
