The Perennial Farm

As the move gets inexorably closer, the more detail I’m trying to flesh out for the farming venture.  After re-reading some of the pertinent sections of my several books on the topic of growing plants for profits, I’ve started trying to lay down some concrete plans. Maybe that’s more like a gravel mulch over weed-cloth plans… Anyways, most books (and I) agree that I should probably start out selling perennials, since the “big-box stores” have pretty much decimated the annual/bedding plants of any semblance of profit. The main exercise over this weekend … Continue reading

March Wrap-Up

So March was a very busy month for me personally, and I was able to keep up with the blog for the most part – woohoo!  Next month might be a bit more “touch-n-go,” but we’ll just have to play it by ear for now.  Here’s how the monthly stats stack up: Most Popular Pages Home page with 199 hits, nice to know so many are coming in “blind” EVE Related – 172 hits, this is a roll up of my top EVE posts. Enochian Tablets… Building Your Own with 160, I have … Continue reading

Stress Overload

With the impeding move to yet another state (from AZ to UT), I’m getting both excited and stressed out about getting everything done in time for the move (at the end of April). So in the mean time, I may not be posting here very regularly until sometime in May when things have (hopefully) settled down again. As far as gaming goes, I (finally) ditched my EVE Online accounts for now, so the only active sub. I’ve got going is for Warhammer – and I’ll probably be chopping that at the … Continue reading

“Web 2.0” vs. “The Web”

So I’ve worked in the web development business since 2003, and have been online using “the ‘net” since before “the web” was even around – and I’m sorry Al, you did not invent the internet, nor the web so please quit taking full credit for something you barely participated in.   Anyways, in my travels and travails one term keeps popping up: Web two-point-oh.  Which is just silly to me.  As a developer, I’ve used these supposed “2.0” technologies since the get go, and as far as I’m concerned they’re just part of … Continue reading

10K Views this year!

As of sometime late last night the blog crossed a milestone. I had over 10K views in a year!  This is the second full year of the blog, and last year I barely scrimped up ~3.5K views, so I’m pretty happy about getting over 10K this year. Not much else going on this week – I’m hoping to actually re-do some of my Enochian Tablet graphics to look nicer and to create sets with the letters on the boards (both English and Enochian).  I’m even thinking I might be able to … Continue reading
