One of the bloggers who showed up at Borepatch’s blogmeet was “That Guy” from Rock in a Sea of Chaos. That seems like a sufficient excuse to add another Austin gun blogger to the blogroll, so here he is…

Blogroll Addition: Rock in a Sea of Chaos
Friday, May 30th, 2014Administrative Note: Blog Back Up
Thursday, May 15th, 2014This week I’ve been having some fairly heinous performance issues with the blog, as in “takes 30 second to a minute to load the dashboard” heinous. After some song and dance from BlueHost support (“CPU throttling! Chinese hackers!”), they took the server (and thus my blog) offline to resolve the issue.
Both server and blog are now back up, and things are generally better performance-wise (if still not exactly snappy).
Blogroll Addition: Zero Hedge
Monday, January 27th, 2014Newly added to the blogroll: Zero Hedge, for all your DOOM-y international economic news needs.
Also consider this your “I didn’t have time to put up an extensive blog post” post…
Blogroll Cleaning
Thursday, January 2nd, 2014It’s a new year, so here are a few long-overdue administrative updates to the blogroll.

Any Texas blogs I’m missing you think should be up here?
Bluehost’s Mandated PHP Upgrade Nukes Word Press’ Default Header
Tuesday, December 10th, 2013Yet again.
We’ll see if I can fix it later in the day. Maybe I can get a reader to do a new graphic for my header…
Update: Defaulting back to the base header color because evidently Nothing Else Works with the version of PHP Bluehost has foisted on me, because it’s evidently too stupid to use standard HTML colors.
Lovely. My Banner Header Is Missing
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013Might have something to do with Bluehost upgrading PHP.
I’ll look into it…
Update: It’s back up now, via a PHP reversion.
“You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets.”
Tuesday, October 16th, 2012I didn’t even know Twitter had a daily limit for sending tweets, but evidently I exceeded it livetweeting the Presidential debate. Fortunately that didn’t kick in until the very end.
Anyway, if you follow me on Twitter, you might send out a note to that effect, just in case people wonder where I went…
This Day Eaten By Locusts
Monday, August 1st, 2011In addition to the Ted Cruz interview, I have a longish post on a very packed political Saturday that I’m still fleshing out. Unfortunately, today has been too busy to either finish that or to comment on any of a dozen storylines (the debt ceiling vote, Syria, the impotent fury of the MSM over the power of the Tea Party, etc.) begging for comment.
So instead of actual content, here’s a random video (not mine) of Golden Retriever puppies (also not mine, though I do have one Golden I’ll be walking right after I post this…):
Real Life Temporarily Defeats Blogging
Thursday, August 12th, 2010I’m dealing with some renovation issues on my house, so expect pretty light blogging for the immediate future…
The Bots Are Getting Smarter. (And Leon is Getting LARGER!)
Sunday, November 21st, 2010(Sigh) I may have mentioned that I have to clear out a fair amount of comments spam that Akismet catches every day.
Well, whoever programs bot seemed to have figured out at least that this is a political blog, as I’ve been getting a lot of generic anti-Charlie Rangel comments on threads that have nothing to do with Charlie Rangel. Close, but no cigar bot guys. (Or, to put it in your own bot language, “Your cigar with excellent closeness you fail to reach.”)
But I can see a day when bot spam may start to mimic at least a semi-competent troll. As usual, there’s an XKCD for that:
