StartLogic Sucks

July 10th, 2008 . by Cary

TexasFred has a great post up regarding the level of suckage at StartLogic. It would be really, really amusing, if I hadn’t just paid for two years of hosting there – not just for this blog, but also for the model railroad’s site.

StartLogic is based here in Phoenix. Their help desk is located in BFE, India. Not real helpful, and I must say that had I known that prior to signing up with them I would not have signed up with them.

I have said all that to say this: DO NOT SIGN ON WITH STARTLOGIC.

This has been a public service announcement.

Any one have suggestions for hosting, in about eighteen months?

I’ll be doing daily backups of both sites, now. Thanks, StartLogic, I needed one more thing on my plate.

By the way, I won’t be running down the blogroll today. Please click on the tab labeled “All Blogrolls Here” and find some mighty good reading anywhere you land.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Time, Inc. is a bunch of weasels, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!

Wearing my Lightning Sharp polo today – being all casual and what not.

You would have known this if you had listened to the show this morning – oh, wait, that’s right. I had connectivity issues and couldn’t host the show, so it was pretty much a bust.

Next time.

One of the things I was going to touch on on the show was the Supreme’s ruling that people don’t have to be citizens in order to be protected by this country’s constitution.

Great. Now all the illegals can claim rights under the constitution, since the Gitmo detainees have managed to weasel their way under it’s umbrella.

President Bush, it’s time to grow a pair – what, are you afraid your popularity rating will nosedive? You aren’t headed for another term in the White House, so what’s the harm? Cowboy up, Mr. President, and tell the Supremes they are WRONG to grant rights to non-citizens.

So, if you are a terrorist, fighting US soldiers, and are captured in the process of fighting US soldiers, and you are not wearing a uniform – it’s OK! Before, if the US had abided by the Geneva Convention, the detainee would have been executed in the field. Since that is distasteful to the liberals, the US afforded them protections under the Geneva Convention, by instead imprisoning them and granting them legal representation. Apparently that isn’t enough for the Justices Who Would Be Kings, and now these non-citizens, held for participating in non-uniformed acts of aggression on uniformed members of a recognized, standing army, have all the same rights and privileges as any citizen of the United States under the constitution.

Fantastic. Annie, get your gun.

Thursday MishMash

I don’t know where to start.

Yesterday afternoon (as TMBWitW was working from home, right before a Very Important Conference Call/Online Meeting) the connection was lost to the Internet. Where’s Al Gore when you need him? Several hours and many, many reboots and conversations with Cox later, and we are back online.

What a time frame to not have access – Shrillary basically hands the DemocRAT nomination to the Obamanation and then begs for the Veep slot. (I don’t know about BHO, but I would be remembering Vincent Foster when considering any dealings with Her Royal Pantsuit)

Ann Coulter has a lovely little piece on the whole affair, with some commentary about hypocrisy, in her weekly article.

I’ve added a link to my blogroll – her name is Samantha West, and she stores her thoughts here. She is very pro-military. I like her already.

I have three cats that need to find a new home – they are picking on the older two, and TMBWitW is not going to put up with that for much longer. Adopting them out is going to be much more humane than putting them on the street.

Speaking of pets – Logan is not doing real well. I introduced you to him here and for comparison purposes, here’s a recent photo:

Logan under the tree

Well, his polyneuropathy is starting to affect his bladder control. He has left a couple of puddles this week, and last week there was a bit of a BM issue by the back door. (when I went to help him stand up, it happened. I think he already needed to go, and my lifting him kind of added to the pressure.) We were told he would live between three and five years, and he just turned three. We might be losing him sooner than later. I am not looking forward to this stage of his life with us.

On this day of weird internet connections, slow loads, and dropped lines, I pray you are having a good day and that you have the time to stop over and listen to the latest show on BlogTalkRadio.

Oh, and that you are wearing a red shirt to show any troops that happen to see you that you support them!

Monday Madness

Still working on the design.

Please bear with me as I try to work with the one TexasFred really likes, too.

Update: Many many thanks to Bushwack and his lovely bride for their help with the new header image. The shot itself is of a sunset over the White Tanks west of Glendale I took with a low-resolution digital camera (it was a setting I hadn’t yet set on a brand new camera) about two years ago; Mrs. Bushwack applied her vast knowledge and skills to the removal of some objectionable items while Bushie himself helped me with some coding tips.

So – whaddya think?
