I managed to accidentally delete today’s main entry just before it was ready to publish and right before our 6 a.m. walk. Don’t ask how. I saw it happen with one of those, “Oh, no!” moments. I’ll be able recreate it, but not until I get into town later this morning. Since getting back from [...]

A note to anonymous commenters
August 8th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Blogs, General
If you have left anonymous comments which did not appear within several hours, it usually means that I’ve decided not to post them. Normally, I would let you know and see if the problems could be worked out. However, if you post anonymously, or leave only a fictitious email address, this obviously isn’t possible. Why [...]

Where blogging and journalism meet
August 7th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Blogs, Media
I’ve been thinking again about bloggers, journalists, and the intersection of the two. This week, I sent the following suggestions to the Hawaii SPJ board concerning their annual Excellence in Journalism competition. There’s a lot of competition for their awards and they carry weight in the journalism community. They use independent judges who don’t play [...]

Yes, I did go through the routine of backing up my SQL databases that work behind the scenes to track all the posts, comments, and other parts of the blog. But I’ve never had to restore from one of [...]

In response to a suggestion from a reader, I’ve added a link in the comments section that enables you to easily track all comments on a post via an RSS feed. Click the link, choose your reader, and it should (hopefully) work for you. I also added similar link in small print at the bottom [...]

Which description fits: “campaign volunteer and advisor” or “Hannemann appointee and paid campaign consultant”?
July 5th, 2010 · 19 Comments · Blogs, Campaigns, Politics
Interesting to watch the deft spin by the Hannemann campaign as it deflected the issue of the “Atomic Monkey” blog, a “no holds barred” web site that had been pounding Neil Abercrombie from various directions. Abercrombie, of course, is Hannemann’s main opponent for governor in the Democratic primary and a political adversary for at least [...]

Problem with comments has been fixed
August 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Blogs
I was able to post a comment a few minutes ago, and some new spam has also gotten through. So it appears that the error that had been blocking new comments much of the day has been fixed. Thanks to the support techs at Hostrocket. 5:30 p.m., Hawaiian Standard Time
