Nancie's Web: blog

It's Official... This blog is moving.

I decided to move my blog to my own server. Why? Well, it's mostly for convenience and some for experimentation (after all, that's what my personal website is for).

Of course, since I'm moving to a new location, might as well give it a new look and a new name. I now present to you "This Boring Life". Named so because I don't expect to much drama or craziness that seems to drive ratings and clicks these days. Hopefully, it won't really be boring to those who prefer not to waste a few IQ points on mindnumbing "reality" posts and videos.

Yes, I said "videos". Starting Tuesday, I'm hoping to be able to post some "boring" family videos as well. Drama free, and hopefully a little more edifying than "Buckwild", "Nutcracking" videos, and schoolyard fights. Fights that usually don't even happen in schoolyards between children.

The site, at the moment, is still lacking in some design features. Hopefully, now that I'm not babysitting for at least the next few days, I'll be able to finish it.

Now I present to you, my new home: nancieswebonline.com/blog

More Blogging, Less Facebook

If it weren't for family and friends that I like to keep updated on, I would have left Facebook a long time ago. I do not like it when I cannot post anything, the lag when it comes to typing letters, or the browser crashes.

I did stop the browser from crashing by installing Adblock on Firefox. Wow, what a difference. Not only did Firefox does not crash, but it runs so much faster. I mean like I-just-bought-a-new-computer-and-only-installed-Firefox-on-it faster.

But Facebook is still buggy. When they finally fix the bugs, they add a new feature which causes more bugs. What's more, I think it's becoming way too invasive. Maybe I'm starting to show my age, and it's not like I share anything super personal, but given the political climate, I might be just getting a little paranoid.

That said, blogging is a bit more productive as it helps me get my thoughts out into text. This particular blog (if you haven't noticed) is a bit schizophrenic as I try to get my mangled thoughts out. So there are a lot more rants on here than news of my family life. You may see a lot of seemingly contradictory statement as I try to resolve contradictory thoughts, perhaps changing my mind on my original beliefs, or reinforcing them.

Feel free to comment and discuss, as long as you can back up your comments with references and are open to discussion, I don't have a problem with disagreements. As a matter of fact, I may see a perspective that I haven't thought of before.

Will there be any family news on here at all? Yes, I have been recording videos this week for a little project that I won't mention until I post it. It's mostly for the fun of it, getting used to using Magix again (a movie editing program). That's all I'm going to say on it.
