Expanding the Occamverse
Things have been busy, both with the job and with the crazy musings that occasionally churn my brain. Not every cogitation of consequence makes it to this site – especially those that would appeal to a specialized niche audience.
(You, by virtue of reading this, are a specialized niche – but I doubt you’re all hanging on to my every thought about the future of public relations, reputation management, and marketing influence.)
I’ve got a couple of essays floating in the void that should find a home on other blogs in the next few days. They would call me a “guest blogger.” I would call me a interloper – an unlicensed driver who got the keys to dad’s convertible and wants to feel the wind in my hair.
Maybe it’s time for another Venn…

We don’t really need a Reason to Be, but it certainly helps to occasionally step back and look at a larger picture. What is Occam’s RazR? What do I want it to be? It’s not what we saw from the first incarnation of the “personal weblog.” I don’t share everything here. I have Facebook, and

Usually, I have a good idea why people come to this site. I use the free Sitemeter tool to track hits, and as I generally have low traffic and no ads, that’s decent enough for me. Sitemeter tracks the last 100 visitors, and let’s me know (among other things) the page they hit, how long
Shaking things up

It was time for a new look. I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing. Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features. This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.
Less is More on Facebook

More than a few people have commented about the new Facebook Lite interface. I will simply add the impressions from a co-worker of mine who is blind. I suggested it to her this morning as we were discussing social networking, and how difficult some of the navigation can be. I had a hunch that the Lite
Is it time to close the barn doors?

Honestly, it’s a question that doesn’t get asked enough. “Is it time to shut down this site?” I’m not so much concerned about content and direction for my writing; indeed, I am happy contributing within niches elsewhere. It’s my question about the format itself. I write, I share, I communicate through several media now. I

The issue here was a plugin, one that tries to minimize the load on servers by relying on Javascript libraries housed at Google. The “Use Google Libraries” plugin needed updating, and that new version arrived tonight. We will return you soon to pithy quotes and unusual perspectives. (Provided you have a computer monitor compatible with
More WordPress Weirdness

I have diagnosed part of my problem. The QuickRSS plugin I had active on my site was not playing nicely with the built-in RSS fetch in the WordPress 2.8 administration panel. I deactivated the plugin, and that problem is solved. However, I still have no access to the visual editor.

I just upgraded to the new version of WordPress, and for now, I recommend you wait. Something funky is going on in the background, so for the time being I bring you Retro-Occam. Plain vanilla theme, plain vanilla plugins.

My essay, Chemical Warfare, was just a little too Social Media heavy for here, so it’s up over at Media Bullseye. Give it a read if you wish, and comment where you’d like.

Great.
Just what we need.
