Unplanned Outage
No mysterious disappearances. I’m just swamped. I’ve got more ideas than I know what to do with, and no time to flesh them out. Some are doozies. And I have had a ball commenting in various places.
Also, things have been a bit slow on the home front, as my 5-year-old PC is showing her age. Sluggish boots, slogging through media, and not enough horsepower to round the next turn. Add our new digital camera with uberpixel technology, and our hard drives are hard pressed to keep up. Not enough slack in them for a defrag.
The replacement has already shipped, which means I might be more efficient in my home use and actually put some skin on the skeletal posts.

The Crowdsourced Looking Glass

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.
Temporarily Vanilla

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.
Minor tweaks and fixes

I’m still fixing a few things here, trying to get the most out of the new features while recapturing some of the neat look-and-feel of the last incarnation of Occam’s Razr. I took down the Thoughtful Blather page, as it really was no longer high enough to be thoughtful nor low enough for blather. I
