It has been over three years since Chiriquí Chatter has had any work done on its appearance. Today I was looking at the new themes that Sadish has been working on. He has a new theme called Chennai and I am planning on installing it as the new theme.
It may take me a day or [...]

I spend a lot of time messing around with different operating systems, Windows XP and Vista, Apple OSX, and several different distributions of Linux. I try to keep up with all of my favorite Internet sources, independent of which system I am on.

Chiriquí Chatter quietly crossed the 4,000 post milestone. Still the thing that amazes me as much as anything is that CC has a greater than 4 comments per post average. The Spam comments, caught by the WordPress software, are above 90,000 now.

If you find errors in the list [...]

The graph above is the last six months of Spam received by Chiriquí Chatter.
The amount of Spam, that Chiriquí Chatter receives each day, never ceases to amaze me.
For some reason, it dramatically increased in March. Many days, I may have up to 100 spam comments . I have to look at each comment, to make [...]

The last two months of disruptions, culminated with the Web host shutting down Chiriquí Chatter for a period of time yesterday, has led me to believe I need to start researching other potential hosting options.
Currently, I use HostMDS and they have been reasonable for the price. I am in a shared environment, which means that [...]

This is the second day in a row when CC has suffered a major outage. Sorry you missed us if you dropped by while we were down.
As a reminder, I have the site chiriquichatterstattus.wordpress.com where I record what I know, if anything, about the status of Chiriqui Chatter.
I have also created a Twitter site http://twitter.com/chiriquichatter [...]

Not that it matters to anyone but me, but today I upgraded Chiriquí Chatter to the latest version of Wordpress which is 2.8
