Yesterday was the birthday of this blog. The first post I made to it was on Nov. 27th, 2004. Yes, there are posted dated before that. But those were imported from blogger.
I remember well driving up from Memphis to Nashville for thanksgiving. I had just installed Wordpress on my web host. [...]

OK…..In case you weren’t paying attention, Wild Tangents is running a software package called “Wordpress“. The developers who worked on it have done a really god and I am happy with it. Suzette also likes using it over on Foxy Suzy. I’m lucky that I’ve got a hosting solution provided by Bluehost [...]

I’d like to welcome all my visitors from First things. Feel free to kick off your shoes and stay a while.

It seems I have committed a serious faux pas. I have on occasion track-backed to other blogs without providing a reciprocal link. It has been brought to my attention that this is not proper blogiquite (if that’s a word). I did not know this, as it does not make sense to me, [...]

I just did a new site design. I’m still not the guru on CSS and XHTML I want to be, so I had to get an available design that was already out there and modify it.
I got the original design here. Thanks guys!
I still have some tweaking to do, but th basics are [...]

I’ve added a category called “MovieReviews”. I plan to at least say a few words about every movie I see. So far the subs include “NetFlix”, “Theater” and “On TV”.
I just recently opened a NetFlix account and am very happy with it. I’ve seen six movies and have one [...]

Well, it’s a long story as to why I have been so silent the past couple of months. It started back when I was a kid. I was never a very good student. I always had trouble keeping organized and paying attention. I guess I was a mediocre student (at best). [...]

Well, I have decided to change the title here. It was mostly inspired by I comment I made over at jimmyakin.org. Since I jump around so wildly on topics, I just couldn’t help it.
Also, I haven’t been very good about posting lately. There’s a good reason for that, but [...]

If you’re seeing this, it’s because you are getting it from the new server home for Thicke.org. I was up til real late last night doing the move, so excuse me while I go find some caffeine…..

It didn’t happen. Not long after I posted about it Thursday night, I got called into work. I was there until about two am. So after getting early to back to the office Friday morning, I simply didn’t feel like doing anything after watching Battlestar Galactica except going to bed. I’ll [...]

OK….do I have you attention? This site will be down for a little sometime this weekend. I’ll be moving to a different server. Because of the way names like “www.thicke.org” work on the internet, you might still be pointing to the old server after the move. It should all be straightened [...]

OK…..I’ve got the new theme on the site. As you can see, it’s a mod of Kubrick for Wordpress. I’m still working on it, but I felt it was at a point where it would look nice on the site. I thought that until I actually uploaded it and opened it in [...]

I know, I’ve been pretty bad about postings lately. Moving into a new place and starting a new job has really worn both me and Susette out. What little time I have had, I’ve been working a new design for the site. So please forgive me. Things should be getting back [...]

I just upgraded to Wordpress 1.5. I thought (thought mind you) I had everything ready for my theme. I thought wrong. I’m prolly gonna get on of the themes at Yusop.net and modify it. I’m not really sure yet. I was never really happy with what I had before [...]

My DSL has been down for about three days now. It’s back up and I am getting caught up. in the meantime, please pray for the Pope’s health.

If you couldn’t tell, I’ve had a lot of trouble with comment spam since starting this WordPress site. While I’ve pretty much stopped the spam using Authimage, I know they’re still trying. I am sure I get hits everyday that are spam attempts that Authimage throws in the trash.
Adam Kalsy [...]

Well, since it looks like the trencaspammers plugin has holes big enough to drive a Mac truck through, I’ve managed to switch back to Gudlyf’s Authimage plugin. As far as I can tell, it’s working fine. I’m gonna get to work on hacking the plugin itself to change the colors to something more [...]

“New Old”….That’s sorta like “jumbo shrimp” or “fresh frozen” isn’t it? Well, let me explain. Back in March of ‘03, I started using blogger.com. My last entry was this past June. I didn’t use it very much. Yesterday morning I was browsing the WordPress site and found documentation on importing [...]
