We had another power failure this morning. It started at about 5:30 am and continued until about 8:00 am, just as I was (manually) closing the garage door to go to work.

Unfortunately, my web server (which delivers this wonderful blog) failed to restart correctly when the power came back up. It seems prone to forgetting how to connect to the network after a power failure…anyway, when I got home from work I was beat and plunked myself in front of the TV. The result- I didn’t even know the server was down until just now.

I run several websites off of my one Linux server sitting here in my house. I try to keep it reasonably secure: it’s behind a firewall with a limited number of open ports, I try to keep my software somewhat up to date, and I install code to intercept blatant attempts to spam or attack my site.

There was a shudder throughout the Internet today: Robert Scoble, former Official Blogger for Microsoft and now writer/podcaster for PodTech.Net, didn’t receive an invite to a Microsoft developer conference. A fellow at Microsoft by the name of Alfred Thompson responded saying (more or less) that Scoble isn’t the target audience for the conference anyway. And Scoble was pissed by this response.

This is a test post to see how Windows Live Writer works. Windows Live Writer is an “off line” blog posting tool. Naturally, it is designed to work with Windows Live blogs, but it also supports WordPress and others.

Some folks might have noticed my posting of a Youtube “video” (actually, it’s mostly an “audio”, but that’s being picky) here a couple of days ago. The really observant probably noted that it didn’t work the first 68 times I tried to publish it. I thought I’d share a little about what I discovered in that process.

If you have no idea what tags are, or if you have never used WordPress, chances are you have no idea what Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) is. You can probably skip this post, but in case you are curious: tags are like keywords to help categorize posts. UTW is a plugin for WordPress by Christine Davis to help posters manage tags within their blog.

How about this for timing….on February 27th, I upgraded my version of WordPress from 2.0.4 to 2.1.1. It was quite some time since my last upgrade, and there were several security fixes that I needed to get installed. I was briefly proud of myself for getting my site sort of up to date.
