Light Installation

I have been installing track lighting throughout Confetti to help brighten up the place. I got a great deal on the track lights at Lowe's. They have 2 foot sections for $19.97 in my area. Today, I am installing 14 sets, I had installed 8 sets last week. We have decided to use energy efficient 26 Watt bulbs from Sam's Club that emit the light of 100 Watt bulbs. They stick out a bit from the fixture, which is alright because the lights don't focus very well. I have to give credit to Home Depot for their equipment rental service. I have rented ladders from them three times. Once a 20ft ladder to remove a banner outside the store; once a 12 foot step ladder to install the first lights; and this time I chose a 10 foot ladder since the 12 foot was too big.

So far the installation is going well. I am doing the work in batches to make things faster. I'll be here for a few more hours.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
