Flushing out the cobwebs.
I’ve done a clean install of WordPress because things were getting slow and I had problems using Jetpack and some outside services as well. It was a pain in the ass, and I may change my webhost in the next month or two, but things are running a lot faster now. This is a test. Or a pineapple pen.

…After I was transferred to a “new and more powerful server” by webhost. I guess it is powerful enough to make a post disappear. Did you hear me? WILL THIS POST REMAIN? NEW! MORE POWERFUL!!

We’ve been down for more than a week due to hard disk failure on the server plus many other problems that have been just a real bitch to resolve… Let’s see if the site stays up. To reduce load on the server, we’re gonna try serving cached pages for unknown users for a while.

Testing the WordPress Publicize Function
Since Twitter got hacked a while back, the apps using its API have been refused permission intermittently. Until now, I used a site called twitterfeed to daisy chain my blog posts from my dedicated blog to Twitter to Facebook, but that all fell apart when Twitter security got oversensitive. So now, I’m going to see how the WP Publicize function works out. Guess I’ll try to post a photo and embed a YouTube video: Random video from my YouTube “music” playlist:

In the back of my mind, however, there was always a secondary purpose of leaving a record of my life and thoughts. I started blogging when I was a salaryman in Japan. One of the things I started…

C. Buddha’s Great Android Experiment
After clearing my calendar for our October holidays, the extra work I was planning to do fell through. I’ve spent the extra time planning for a possible simian uprising, playing with Max and Mina every day, and creating an Android application. I mostly did it to investigate the process for publishing an app on Google Play, for future work reference. However, it would be extremely cool if you would go check out the app and inflate the ratings and press Like buttons, etc., for me, since I’m an attention whore. Thank you. Link: C. Buddha’s Blog Reader This app is a dedicated blog reader for my blog. You install it…
