Settling in

Tonight, I have the good fortune to sleep in a bed. Camping out in a tent is fun, but is inadequate for the daily grind. For one, being in the dark limits your hours of productivity. All I could do was listen to podcasts on my phone. Also, it rained last night. I was nice and dry in the tent; but the water made such a racket. I kept waking up.

The place where I'm staying has wireless internet, so I was able to change the necessary settings to blog to session 80 directly from my phone.

In other news, I went to the Jim Pitts and Brian McCall press conference today with James. We got to see everything in person. There was a lot more press present than at the last announcement. James pointed out who all the press that are pertenant to Mr. Peña's office are so that I recognize them should I bump into them at some point. What did I gain from the Press Conference? I don't know, what did you gain? Both sides have certain victory.

Shaine,

Rep. Pena is lucky to have you, man! For NO member of the legislature would I sleep in a tent while navigating the Austin housing market. Not even "The Rep!" LOL

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 ...
