It was just about a year ago that I bought an Olympus 550 UZ camera. In only one year’s time Olympus has released two models to replace the 550. Technology, whether it is in computers or cameras, doesn’t have that long of a life cycle anymore.
While, in general, I have loved the Olympus 550, when [...]

Back on the 12th, I received an email from my monitoring service that CC was down and posted the event on the CC Status Blog.
The following day, I learned that my webhost had moved CC to the web host’s new Clustered service. I can see what appears to be several improvements by this move, [...]

If you came by in the last hour, you may have found a notice stating that CC was down for maintenance. I posted the notice so that the outage would appear a little more planned than the past times when the site was hacked.
The WordPress 2.5.1 release contained multiple fixes, some of which were security [...]

Today was a day of contrasts. Microsoft posted a drop in earnings of 11% because of a major drop in software sales. I think this stage has been posturing for some time now. You can only put out bloated and over priced software, while missing target dates for so long before it starts catching [...]

For three days, my email address at Chiriquí Chatter has not been working. The web Host has been notified, but to this point there has been no solution.
The “Contact” tab above is working fine and I can respond via a different address. You just can’t currently use the @chiriquichatter.net addresses.
UPDATE: I created a new email [...]

While I have skipped posting for a few days, I have still been working on several areas of the blog. Technical stuff is therapy for me and much less stressful than doing several other things.
