checking things off my *personal* to-do list
September 6th, 2010
several months ago, i came to an agreement with myself that i was going to spend ONE day a week on my OWN projects. no if ands or buts. so today was that day for me.
for those of you who’ve known me for many years, you know that i went on a year long music ministry team after i graduated from college. if you followed my travels back then, you probably remember reading my blog on thisroad.org.
you may also remember how my travel blog was abruptly lost due to my web host (at the time) having a major server crash.. which also corrupted all the site backups.
so i lost *months* of journal entries from the US and danmark…
or so i thought.
i don’t know if it didn’t occur to me to check archive.org’s wayback machine.. or if i didn’t find anything. back then. but there they were. most of my entries (i still think i lost about a half a month right around the server crash.. but still. much better than losing 9 months!)
and i just spent the past 6 hours copying and pasting each entry from the archive into this blog. (and i even searched my hard drive to find and re-upload the images that went with the entries… because i’m crazy)
now my next project is to finish re-uploading all the photos i took while on that year long tour.
and yes. i have completely lost my mind.

bear with me…

so i’m trying to set up a way to aggregate my social media content here on everymoment.org.. and boy this is much harder than it looks. i need to go through and clean out all my different cross posting settings.. in order to avoid that annoying double posting thing. so bear with me. while i’m testing out all these plugins and feed readers and cross posters and whatevers… my social media profiles might be more of a mess than usual. ????? ??????? ????? ??? ??????????? ???? ????? ???????

tagging 1,342 blog posts takes a long time…
September 7th, 2009
so this might take longer than expected to get everything up and running as smoothly as i would like. but at least it’s working to a point that i can start blogging & video blogging again. 
it’s also nice to have a much better interface for adding video and pictures. the last design (the one, really thin column with the brown background) was actually my “rebelling” against all the blog designs that started coming out with two and three columns of “stuff” cluttering up the page at the time i created it. (and actually.. still today. and i’m not saying that you shouldn’t have multiple columns in your blog design.. it’s just… well.. it can be done correctly.. and planned out… or it can end up looking like content and social media puked all over your website … i’m just sayin’) so now, years later, as big, impacting video and images rule the web… the old narrow design just wasn’t cutting it anymore. plus, there were plenty of things that were broken about that design. it was the first time that i had used a wordpress release that used templates. so i definitely just learned as i went and i see now how much i didn’t understand when i created (read: threw together with duct tape and chewing gum) the old template design.
so i will be continuing to clean up things in the back end (which will take a long time. especially since i’m working with over eight years of blog entries here) and will be using this site to not only post my video blogs/podcasts (which you can subscribe to either via RSS or in iTunes… links are on the left side), but also other random things about design, random things found on the internetz and life in general.
it’s good to be back. ????? ?????
well.. at least it's working.. right?
September 6th, 2009
if you haven’t noticed… i (FINALLY) finished up the everymoment.org redesign… i also updated my wordpress (which was looooong overdue) and for some reason several of my entries got their post dates all jumbled around.
but hey.. at least it’s working.. right? ??a?a?? ?????a??? ????? ??????
a small change in direction…
May 25th, 2008
hello faithful everymoment.org blog readers! *pauses for the cricket sounds*
yes.. i know i have been a slacker blogger. which is why i’m thinking about changing the direction of this site a bit. (but not *too* much… just a little.)
i’ve been talking about starting up a podcast for a while now, so i finally decided on trying out my luck at the “video podcasting” world. now i thought of buying yet *another* domain name for such a venture.. but when i look at my godaddy.com account and see that i have to PAGE THROUGH all my domain names… i think it’s a good idea to stick with what i have for now. (who knows.. maybe it will expand to another domain… but for now i think it’s safe enough to just utilize what i have)
so everymoment.org will soon be changing directions.. from a blog… to a video podcast.
now this probably wont’ happen overnight (although.. i have been known to stay up all night and create a website.. actually.. most of my websites were done in that manner…) but i will be putting together a completely different look to this site… and you’ll start seeing more video than text. (plus, it’s easier for me to just talk than to type all this. and my thoughts are to keep the archive of the blog up here, and possibly keep a category for text/picture blog entries.)
oh yea, and if you want to see my new “toy” for this endeavor… take a look at this video of me unboxing my brand new mino HD flip cam!
hop on the greenb.us!
May 16th, 2008
hey, i’m starting planning on my new domain name, greenb.us. so i’m wondering who’s interested in helping out with the site? i’m thinking of a group blog and community site, to share information, links, ideas and best practices for “green living”
so who want’s to hop on the “greenb.us’?
i need some input here!
May 6th, 2008
ok. so i’m trying to come up with a new design for everymoment.org. and i had an idea.. and started working on something. but i got stuck on an image, so i’m turning to you, my wonderful everymoment.org visitors to help me out.
so here’s the question. what does the words “every moment” make you think of?
please leave a comment or a video comment reply below. THANKS!!Corpse Bride ipod
remind me to never start a massive project like switching over a website to a new host.. in the middle of the night…
March 30th, 2008
wow. i’m exhausted. it’s 7am and i haven’t been to sleep yet. i made the horrible mistake of thinking “hey.. i’ll have everything for tracyapps.org moved over to my new host.. and that one should be an easy one to move over to the new host… so why don’t i change the domain name to point to the new server at 11pm…”
so do you see how dumb that was? well if you are a web developer, you will see it immediately. first off.. there is no such thing as “an easy site to move over to a new host”… secondly.. when changing a domain name to point to the new server, the settings of that domain name are going to wait to the most inopportune time for the change to actually go through. in this case.. it was after i was already tired and sick of working on websites… at 5am.
i just spent the last two hours “tweaking” my webpage to work on the new server.. and import all my old files, designs, settings, etc… but now tracyapps.org
should be officially up and running on my new server. three sites successfully moved… two more to go… *sigh*
anyways. now i am going to go to sleep. my next “bad idea to start this now” project will be to redesign everymoment.org… but i’ll wait until i have a whole lot of other things that i need to do to start that one. g’night!
