It’s been a minute. I know there are probably some people who only check here to make sure I’m still alive. I am.

I’ve just returned to the Internet after a long absense. I’m not going to promise regular posts again…just thought you might like to know.

So I’ve been somewhat muted lately; I’ve barely made a peep since the new year. I was toying with the idea of taking the sites down, both the main site and the music site, but I just got hit with my annual hosting and domain fees so I guess I’m going to keep going for at least another year.

The music site was updated this morning with a new post. Check it out if you’re interested in what I’m listening to these days. Check back later today for a increasingly rare Sunday Sampler.

Later folks.

So I’ve added some Amazon ads to the site with some recommended products. These are all items that I own for the most part so don’t look here for gift ideas. What you should do though is always come here first before visiting Amazon.com. When you do, I get a little cut.  It doesn’t cost you any more either.

Thanks for your support.

Just a few days after I upgraded the software on this site and launched the music site a new version of the Wordpress software came online. I’ve installed it on both blogs now and, through the grace of God, managed to not loose anything.

I’ve launched a second blog that will focus only on music. I’ll duplicate posts here from time to time but not often so if you’re interested you should check it out. Eventually a link will appear in the pages section of the page, unti then you can find it with the links to other blogs.

After many failed attempts at getting a new theme to do what I wanted it to do I decided that I actually didn’t mind keeping my theme, I was just tired of the color pallet, so I just changed it.  The original author was from Spain which meant most static material to the theme was in Spanish; I think I’ve finally managed to get the last of that purged with the latest edits. If you see any I’ve missed, let me know.

I’ve also added a few new features. There’s a “Wall” that works much like the core Facebook feature, a random post link and a login on the main page.

I’ll also soon be launching another site devoted just to music with links to videos and streaming audio sites.

I don’t think there will be any significant changes made again in the near future. I’ll try to focus on posting.

I somehow managed to get the software upgrade tonight. The only thing that got lost along the way was the categories. I’m going to try to get those back too.

The upgrade allows me to post videos which I was unable to do with the older versions of WordPress. We’ll see what else it can do in the coming days.

I tried to upgrade the site software last night. It ended badly and a lot of posts were lost.  I have a backup that I’ll eventually try to get uploaded.  This is lame.

Some of you have had my instant messenger information in the past.  I was using Yahoo but work has asked that we all switch over to MSN.

During the day I’m normally logged on.  The screen name is jt_hohn [at] hotmail [dot] com.
