    Introduction – This is a specific guide to setting up the computer on my own network. I’m writing it because, every time there’s some weird network problem, I change a password or something, and foul up the network, and cause the printer to drop off. Then I end up spending a couple hours fixing my…

    What are the best free blogging sites? I don’t know, but decided to see which platforms were best indexed on Google. Not surprised to find that Google’s own Blogger.com had the most pages. These are the results from using the Google search “site” filter.

    The previous incarnation of this blog had a lot more inbound links, and accumulates spam. One day, I had 14,000 comments pending, and most were spam. So, I wrote a tool to help work through the backlog.

    I’m having some Google indexing problems, with some traffic going to riceball.com, and some coming to technote.fyi. According to Search Console, I still have 367 riceball.com pages; in reality, I have maybe 40 pages. Some of these pages haven’t been crawled since the middle of 2018.

    I’m moving the site over to technote.fyi, and will be converting this domain over to a rice ball / food / restaurant domain. Google doesn’t seem to consider the domain that much when indexing a site – this site comes up for software tech, but not for rice balls! Obviously, this domain would increase in…

    Numerous things have pulled me away from doing tech work, the big one being a mishap that flooded our apartment, and necessitated my moving, temporarily, to my mom’s. Since I sell on Ebay, I have a ton of “inventory” that needed to be moved, sold, etc. I also moved all my computers. So I spent…

    The holidays left me stuffed, and so busy that work became an afterthought. My friend also had some medical issues and I ended up being a driver for most of the month. I swear, driving takes a lot out of me, physically and mentally. There are only a couple updates this month.
