life, the universe, and donna

Inspiration from Erin… My current online archives start… Nov 29th 2002, which is 2009 days from today. The blog actually started in ’98 sometime, but the first 4 years are offline. 3664 posts in that time (although that includes 3 drafts that I started at some point and haven’t finished… and doesn’t include this one.

So I was looking at my stats again, because I’m nosy and weird. And mostly, because the search queries that get you here are hy-fucking-sterical. Without further ado, I bring you: Search Queries that have brought people to This Site: life the universe and donna: Well, I’m glad my SEO is strong enough to at [...]

Let me just be the first (well, probably not first, but first that I’ve seen… although I haven’t looked anywhere else) to say Holy. Fucking. Christ. On. Toast. It’s gone UGLY. I really, really wish this was a prank, but I suspect it’s only all too real. gah. Luckily, only those of us (ie, me) [...]

Well, not so much breaking… and really, not so much news either, but a heads up for those of you who like to email me when my site is down. The server hosting lifetheuniverseanddonna.ca, arwen.org, conversationswithacat.com, skiinskioutwhistler.ca, idlemusings.ca, and all subdomains within is being moved to a new data center. All sites mentioned will go [...]

I’m trying something new with twitter. See that little “microblogging” on the side there? That’s twitter. I’m not sure I like it — I prefer a little more customization than that.

how bad is it that I only just now realized that I hadn’t updated WordPress for daylight savings? doy.

Launching today: http://www.conversationswithacat.com/ Although, since you’re reading this site, you’ll get exactly the same conversationally-inclined posts, as that site simply syndicates them from this one. So you don’t really need to change anything. But if you’re sick to death of listening to me ramble, but still want to read about the Dumb Things Jenn’s cats [...]

Last night, I was trying to figure out exactly how much material I have with Jenn’s cats, and how long I can keep the “Conversations” going. I like writing them, and Jenn thinks they’re hysterical, therefore: success! And then I thought “I should write a BOOK of these! But really, how much can I write [...]

mucking with things. please stand by and ignore anything weird. Update: We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem. You may notice a teeny new feature, as requested by the lovely Yvonne — a subscription manager. Now, if you choose, you can be emailed [...]

I’m posting this here in the hopes that it actually gets through to people, as there were evidently several events that I missed because I had no idea they were happening… because they were sent to an email address that I have NEVER used publically.
