Took a break from all the Genealogy research and have been exploring
and learning Google+. If you like facebook your going to love Google+.
It’s like facebook but with better control of the post you see by your
friends (you can sort them by circles of friends and see only the ones
from one circle at a time); Like Skype but without the limitation of
one person to a call, Like twitter but without the 140 character
limitation. But its by invitation only right now since it’s still in
testing.

Did you know that once you put something on the internet it stays there forever?

There was a lot of news recently about privacy in the digital age we now live in.  Back in 2002 I had written a piece on that subject for a web site in England.  I thought it might be relevant today and that I might repost it so I looked for it.  I was surprised to learn that I no longer had a copy of it on my computer’s hard drive.  I couldn’t find it on the servers at Dreamhost where my websites are hosted either.  I tried to visit the site where it had been published but found the site was no longer in existence.

But nothing that enters cyberspace ever dies.  You doubt the eternal existence of the internet?  Well just click here to see what my site looked like 9 years ago.
So I went searching.  I found it.  (Now I can check and see if I want to repost it.)
Want to check out what a site looked like in the past?  Go here and type in the website address.
(And you thought you had gotten rid of that embarrassing post!  SORRY!)

The theft of the computer I used to do my programing for the site cost me my Shutterbug and iWeb files.  I foolishly had deleted the backups of these files from my host.  But the silver lining is that I’ve simplified everything and created a more logical structure to the sites.  Now that I have things set [...]

If you visited during the last few days you were greeted by a message that the site was unavailable.  That was because I locked everything down.  I did that because we were burglarized and all our computers were stolen.  I’ve brought the site back up now since I think I have successfully blocked any access by anyone [...]

I’ve finished another redesign of all my websites and gotten them merged so that there is just one front door to everything.  Still have a lot of stuff to get back.  This redesign started from scratch except for this blog.  The biggest take down was the photo albums.  I’ve given up on Gallery.  Just too slow [...]
