West Side of the Cuckolds Lightstation
The title of this post is somewhat incorrect. It is presently about an event or an experience that happened in “my” life in America.
Please use this link “The Cuckolds Lightstation“, to find the information about my life on the Cuckolds Lightstaton.
The Cuckolds Lightstation is the original part of the site. It was my first attempt at blogging and I found it quite rewarding from the few visitors that found the site and the e-mails they sent to me. I did find it necessary to remove the e-mail address because it overloaded my e-mail program with spam and junk mail.
The sections of this blog are separated by categories. I mention this as I feel it is to a larger degree than normal, possibly more like a CMS or “content management system” where the categories are actually headings for each issue or item in the blog.
After a problem which caused hundreds of pages on several blogs to disappear from the internet, I decided to have one blog with categories which create mini-blogs if you will to specific postings. My hope is that it will be much simpler to back up and maintain.
The category, “The Cuckolds Lightstation” is the heading for many posts about the two years I lived on the Cuckolds Lightstation, or you can just use the link in this sentence. The category, “Backyard Chicken Farming” will lead to posts on that topic.
The single biggest taboo I am doing on this site, is having many topics on one blog. The positive side from my perspective is that this leaves one blog to maintain. This can be important because for those like myself that are inexperienced with blogging software and computers, it allows many subjects to be handled by one piece of software.
I used Jack Webb Hosting for a short period of time. I was sold an account with a set amount of storage and bandwidth along with the other normal things such as data bases, e-mails, etc.
I changed some thing inside my blog and got this message from the administrator. The conversation was as follows, per an e-mail I received after asking the first question about why the account was suspended. Following was the answer I received. I had not gone over either the bandwidth, storage, or any of the limits set in the account.

I find that sooner or later we will all find a host that doesn’t live up to our expectations.
I have used both Bluehost and Hostmonster. I mention this as the are “sister” companies. Interestingly enough, I did find that the people I dealt with for support generally seemed slightly more interested in helping with things that really aren’t the hosts responsibility. This wasn’t always the case but I do feel that their support was and is very good. I had the basic account with shared hosting.

I know there is more talk about CPU throttling lately and many hosts have taken up this method of getting more accounts on their servers. CPU throttling is fairly new with some hosts, but I would guess it will become more common.
If you read most blogs and forums about CPU throttling most of what is said is in fact negative. Obviously if you have a site and are getting a spurt of high traffic, you don’t want your site slowed.
I mention it here because Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know yet if the plugin “SI CAPTCHA” will stop all spam but my guess is that it won’t.
The reason I mention it is that I do think because it has the captcha feature it will stop most and I haven’t gotten a spam e-mail or anyone registering for a few hours so it definitely helps.
I know I have used Akismet only for some time. I tried another plugin that redirected registrations, but when I disapproved them, it didn’t take them off the user list so I really can’t say I could figure out how it really helped.
I would like to hear from others that are using the plugin, just to know what I can expect for results.

I signed up for cable TV today.
I have already come to the conclusion that it was in fact a mistake.
I like to purchase things and have them work right from the start, not never work, right from the start.
This was my fault or Read the rest of this entry »
