server problems

Sorry the blog’s been low on activities. Plus, the site was down for a few days due to some server issues with my host.

Quick-o updates:

- Ran the Run the Woodlands 5K on Saturday, and met some other Houston running bloggers. Meeting everyone made up for my terrible run time.

- Saw Skeleton Key. Meh.

- Will post my running logs in the next day or so.

- I hate mondays.

    just did my usual webstats check, and someone got referred to escapevelocity based on a google search for “do koreans have a sense of humor”.

    Fun news! Escapevelocity now has it’s own webpage icon, thanks to the wonderfully tech-savvy folks at lunamania. The following image should have appeared in the address field of your browser:

  • out of the woodwork

    I loves me my webstats.

    Here are the most recent search engine keywords that brought people here to escapevelocity.org….my little slice ‘o cyber heaven:

    • Two people in Ann Arbor, Michigan were researching how to freeze kimchi. 
    • Inexplicably, cockroach open wings pics was a phrase of interest to two people in Toronto (do they have flying roaches in Ontario?! ew.)
    • Three people at Harvard in Boston were looking up bindaeduk. Looks like the Korean Bible Study group was having a little dinner party. The sheep.
    • jack johnson avocado meant something to a person in Libertyville, Illinois. Hopefully.
    • Someone in Hong Kong said freeze mutherfucker.
    • A person in Biglerville, PA was looking for the better luck tomorrow true story.
    • Someone in New Orleans (Nawlins) was looking for a nature remedy for getting rid of roaches. My advice? Fuck that natural shit - those nasty spawns of satan deserve to be raked through radioactive toxic chemicals. Though, it’ll probably just make them stronger. The fuckers.
    • I have no idea why a search for http://amleft.blogspot.com led someone to my website.
    • mutherfucker. Rock on, Poland, rock on.
    • Someone in Stuttgart, Germany really really had to pee.
    • Someone at Microsoft Corp in Redmond, Washington was looking up cardio myopathy.
    • A fellow T.Murakami fan in Japan was searching for little boy takashi murakami.
    • Some disturbed individual in Dixon, California was looking for mao tse tung death photos, and got sent to my site. WTF?
    • Someone in Ghana was interested in 2005 email guestbook of avocado in asia. I have no idea what that means, or why they’d end up at my site, but at least it’s not another search for dead Communist leaders.

    Sorry, little blog, for being away. Been hanging out at other websites, but I promise it was meaningless and I thought of you the whole time.

  • losing that loving feeling

    After only a month, I’ve become frustrated with Blogger and its limitations. Time to give Wordpress another try. Er, again.

    Blogger’s like the AOL of blogging software - all you really need to know is click-and-go. Of course, that aspect of Blogger’s been really useful for getting this site - and my motivation - back up. But now that things are rolling again, it would be nice to have more control over certain aspects of this site.

    So, reasons for moving back to Wordpress (again):

    • Quicker rebuild times.
    • Assigning categories to posts.
    • All the cool people are doing it.
