ShaneHalbach.com Launched!

/ Shane / 8 Comments

Big news! I finally bit the bullet and moved over to a new domain, shanehalbach.com!

Since I haven’t had a new look for about 2 years, and really haven’t changed my color scheme since 2004, I decided to go for something totally different. I may be tweaking things for a day or two until everything gets resolved, but I think it is more or less set at the moment. I’m really enjoying the change of pace!

If I did everything correctly, you should not even need to update your feeds. The old url (erith1.wordpress.com) should now redirect here.

So enjoy everyone! Let me know what you think in the comments.

My 1,000th Post

/ Shane / 5 Comments

This is my 1,000th post!

1,000 entries is a whole lot of blog. But 1,000 entries in and of itself doesn’t mean a whole lot, so I was curious about how much writing that actually is.

WordPress doesn’t seem to have a utility to tally up all the words in all of your posts, so I had to write one myself. I calculate that I’ve written over 330,000 words on this blog. That’s over 1.5 million characters typed.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe I’ll figure it out by post 2,000.

(Note that there are 30 some odd private entries, not counted in the 1,000 posts, but counted in the word count)

Hello all,

We just got back from Paris. Please bear with me while I get some things in order. Details will be coming forthwith.

If you are going to come while we are on vacation (so that we have to stress about picking up our house while we are trying to get ready to go) and won’t be home for a week, then please make sure with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you do not leave the door to the litter box shut. Because that would be bad. Almost like the opposite of cleaning our house.

In other news, does anybody know what about 7 days of cat urine and feces does to a treadmill?

Yar!
