Yeah, it took a bit of time. But once I made the time and actually read the hosting provider’s description, I was able to fix it.
Evolution of DNS?
At some point, I’ll fix the current blog so it leverages the domain properly. Going to http://www.esthermofet.com will bring you here…eventually…
But at the moment I lack the motivation to comprehend why it’s redirecting to a wordpress-owned Domain name.
Goodbye Tumblr
While Tumblr has become something of a niche, and I had switched to it some years ago because I tired of the then free hosting provider’s plan to drop the feature, Tumblr is facing some increasing challenges.
So, it’s back to WordPress.
Self-hosting was an option, and I certainly have the hardware and bandwidth to support it, but in my current state, I’m having difficulty troubleshooting (and comprehending) some of the challenges while stepping through something as [trivial? simplistic?] as setting up MySQL, enabling Apache, and PHP on macOS — meh. Never Mind.
…short-term remembery loss.
I suffer from short-term remembery loss.
It was entertaining when I first saw Dory in Finding Nemo. It was slightly more amusing when I saw the backstory in Finding Dory.
Now that I live it, it’s hilarious.
Frustrating, yes.
But I can’t change it, so I might as well embrace the humor.
I’m not at all “Ten Second Tom” level (50 First Dates).
Checkpoints
Several weeks ago, I mentioned that I was nearly healed from a rather aggressive infection.
So, this is a bit of an update of a few of the items I was hoping to make some traction on:
-a work trip… Done and done.
Yes, we do tend to end up at meals out.
-rebuilding the primer/fuel filter assembly on the truck. Done.
-getting a mount/ledge assembled for my exercise bike. Done.
No idea why, but this particular bike doesn’t have a ledge of any kind on which to rest a book. Now it does.
-actually -using- said exercise bike (I nearly have the strength to do very brief rides). Done; and ongoing.
-rearranging my office. Need to rearrange it every now and again until I find something I like. Done. I rather prefer this particular layout.
-several more complex carpentry projects—think “furniture”, of course.
Eh, there’s the TV stand that I cobbled together from some spare, shop-grade 3/4″ plywood. It was really a “How will I do? What changes will I make? To me? To it?”
-there’s a sailboat in need of being built—to say nothing, of course of the neglected sailboat whose hull needs to be reglassed. Yeah, no traction on either of those.
-wood floors need to be installed in the house. Nor on this.
-oh, and we’ll need to do a bit of house-hunting in a nearby, but much larger city. Yeah, about that: Looking is one thing. The next steps are selecting and making an offer, which can only happen after we do the same with our house.
the rest of me
