Big changes to the web site

Posted on by 5 comments

Well, as you can see, there have been big changes made to the web site.

Quite honestly, the old format was beginning to get really hard for me to deal with.  As the site got larger and larger it became more and more difficult to manage.  Updates will be much easier for me with the new format, and I believe it makes the older material much more accessible.  This site is entirely indexed and searchable, and  I will be able to update the site on the road with the new format.  I have not given up completely on the old format, it will be waiting in the wings in case this does not work out, but I think this is going to stay.

The site can now support some interaction.  The old site was pretty much a one way street.  I would say stupid stuff and you had no way of telling me that I am stupid.  Now, through the miracle of the interweb, you can call me stupid.  Sure you will have to enter your email address and do a few simple things before you can post, but once you have done that you can tell me I am stupid every day!  I am really looking forward to it.

Hopefully, some of you will actually update the site from time to time.  This will give me the opportunity to tell you that you are stupid.  Right now the only person who can actually update the site is Mark.  Actually, as I write this there are only three people who have even seen the site:  Me, Mark, and Skidplate.  I don’t know if I will give Skidplate the ability to do updates.  I like looking at women much more than I like listening to them.

Putting the new bike together

Things are coming along real well with the new bike.  I still have to get the heated grips, the thermometer, the GPS, the chargers, and the windshield installed, but it is starting to look like a bike I can ride.

I have managed to get off the couch a little bit in the last few weeks so I figured I may as well do an update!

I took the trip back to Morgantown and retrieved my personal items off of the Vstrom.  Above you can see a picture of our last goodbye.  Soon that magnificent motorcycle will belong to Geico insurance.  I went down and got things like my GPS mount and my thermometer and the various other chargers and things that I had mounted under the seat.

Mark rides while I sit

Well, as you can see I am still sitting on the couch.  I’m not really happy with the progress that is being made to put me back on a motorcycle and I voiced this opinion pretty loudly today to the people who are dragging their feet and keeping me on the couch.  I really don’t want to bad mouth anyone, but lets just say the problem is with a company that uses a lizard for a mascot.  These same people say it is so easy a caveman can do it.  Does anyone know where I can find a caveman, because it is not going too easy for me!  They faxed me a paper I had to sign, then said it was the wrong paper.  They mailed me a paper to sign in its place and now they say I used the wrong form of my name on it.  Now they are sending me another one to sign.  Pretty soon I will be ready to start throwing the bricks.
