B&P Turns 11

It was eleven years ago yesterday that the very first post  appeared on Bits & Pieces.  It’s been a wild ride at times.  I’ve posted some interesting, weird and funny things along the way… many of which you’ve contributed.  Thank you.!

I’ve met a lot of interesting people, both online and in person.  I’ve heeded [...]

More Website Problems

You may have noticed that B&P has been a little sluggish in loading the last day or two.  With what little skills I have, I’ve determined that someone in the Ukraine has been trying to hack into the site.  I’ve found and inserted some code to block anyone from the Ukraine from accessing the site…. or at least [...]

More website problems

One of my other websites (NB) is down again.  And it appears to be the same problem we had last month.  It starting becoming very slow on Monday and all but crawled to a stop by Tuesday.  

Excessive traffic to the site was causing stability problems for the other sites sharing the server so the [...]

WANTED: Website problem solver

I have a website that is down at the moment because of the following message from Dreamhost: 

Traffic to your site was causing instability on the entire machine. I’m sure you can understand why we cannot allow this is a shared hosting environment. Once the traffic to your site decreases, we will consider [...]

B&P seems to be running much better

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause you.  I know it was very frustrating for me.

B&P Loading S-L-O-W

Several people have alerted me to the fact that Bits & Pieces is taking an unusually long time to load. 

 I’ve deactivated some recently updated plugins to see if one of them might be the culprit. 

Just be aware that I’m looking into the problem.

 Update:  I think I may have found the [...]

You Amazon purchases can help support B&P

Just a reminder that if you need to order something from Amazon.com, and who doesn’t, that if you go there from the Amazon search box in the right sidebar (or any other Amazon link on B&P)  I’ll receive a tiny referral fee for whatever you purchase.  It won’t cost you a penny more and it’s a [...]

Making Changes – The Saga is Over

My three day, or was it three week, nightmare is over… sort of.  I’m now convinced that the phone company and the cable company just make shit up to tell you when they don’t know what to tell you.  The cable company is the worst by far at this game.

They’ve decided that I’m too [...]
