After making good progress, I’m frustrated with how my migration is going. Now I remember why my site loses chunks whenever there is a server issue. Over time, various programs and software that I’ve been using have been upgraded, and as I migrate and attempt to recreate some sections of the site, things keep breaking left and right. So far the Daily Update, What’s New,…
November 27, 2011I’ve made good progress on the all new Club Josh! The infrastructure is in place, and now I am just converting all the Trip Diaries into WordPress. It’s slow tedious work, but I’m 1/3 of the way there. After that, it’s figuring out what to do with the Gorn Page. The worst case is that I need to update to a new version of Gallery…
November 13, 2011I think my problem is that there is so much to do that I just sit there staring at things, hoping that at some point it will start itself and be completed. That’s how it feels these days as I try and get things sorted and designed. I have so many outside distractions that taking the time to sit down and sort out what I…
October 29, 2011As mentioned in my last post, I have been staring at my computer attempting to create an all-new Club Josh, and no surprise, it won’t be up and running tomorrow. Le Sigh.. At least I have worked out the bugs in the system and have successfully set up a test version of WordPress. After working on it for a few weeks I was surprised when…
October 19, 2011In my laziness regarding my web site, apparently I missed the boat when it came to my server. I have not had any issues regarding my site since I migrated it back in 2006 to my current host. In the past 5 years, the server company has gone through many changes, and unbeknownst to me, they started offering faster, more reliable servers for users with…
September 18, 2011This is actually an entry I started months ago, but never finished.. I have been thinking of where I want to go on vacation. I know, surprise, surprise right? Anyways, It’s been awhile since I really sat down and thought the ever-popular question of where I want to go in the world more than anywhere. Part of this thought is because I’m reflecting on the…
September 16, 2011Wow, it’s already mid-September! What happened to Summer? It was a good summer and a tough summer in different ways. For the good part, I am having a great time at work in the new position. I think that is a big reason why this summer flew by. I actually look forward to going to work and feel like I am contributing something important to…
September 15, 2011Its been a crazy summer! I am so far behind in relaying tales of my adventures this summer. No time to relay them now, but highlights: Went to Yosemite and Sequoia over Memorial Day Saw some movies Want to get out of the country and do some traveling. (there is actually an unfinished Vacation Ideas blog post sitting around here Traveled to Landers for the…
August 18, 2011Whenever I find myself in a new situation at home or at work, it takes me awhile to adjust and get everything back to normal. For example, in July I started a new position at Disney and have transitioned to a normal person’s schedule. Not since I was working on the Nemo project back in 2007 have I had a Monday-Friday schedule. So over the…
July 24, 2011It’s hard for me to believe it’s nearly the end of June and the halfway point of 2011. Sometimes I think life is passing me by, and before I know it, I will be Grizzly Adams, sitting in a rocking chair outside my cabin in the woods, wondering where the heck time has gone. Other times it feels like you are riding a bucking bronco,…
