Life, the Universe, and Backup

Friday, April 29th, 2011

If you’re looking for backup software for your computer, I hope you’ll check out Crashplan. Not just because I work there, but because they have the best backup solution out there. They also have a new blog, where I occasionally post. It’s at www.crashplan.com/blog

The blog is named in honor of our favorite question from our favorite book (which also inspired the name of the company, for those who don’t get the ‘42′ reference.)

Site Reopened for New Users & More

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

I finally got around to updating the site to the latest WordPress and updated the special iPhone-friendly format as well.

This, in turn, allowed me to install a user verification plug-in, which will make it practical to (finally) reopen the site for new users, while hopefully keeping the spammers to a minimum. (more…)

Site Repair and Upgrade Completed

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

I just completed the upgrade to the latest version of WordPress (the older versions obviously had a few security holes). I think I managed to find and reproduce all the formatting changes I’ve made over the years, but if you see anything that’s not displaying properly, please let me know.

We’ve Added a Special Look for iPhones

If you’re using an iPhone or iPod Touch to visit WritersBlockLive, you’ll now see a new layout just for those devices.

Site Registration Re-opened

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Some time back I was forced to close registration for this site, due to the huge wave of ‘fake’ registrations being made by spammers (in advance of their attempts to post comment-spam). It pissed me off so much, I just said ‘fuck it’ and shut the whole thing off. Well, I’ve mellowed a bit, and decided to try it again.
I also reactivated the email contact form so you can reach me directly.
