8 Guidelines for a Successful Site

Is WordPress Becoming Bloated?
I like WordPress–a lot. It’s been my saving grace for constructing websites without having to write the code from scratch. But it’s gotten very, very bloated. I took a look at version 3.0 and the upcoming changes. It looks ok, but it worries me for the future. Now users actually expect updates and new features on a regular and frequent basis. Whatever happened to just wanting something that worked well, and was patched for bugs and security? I’m also worried about backward compatibility of things like themes and plugins.

Speeding is Not Dangerous (as dangerous as you think)
I’ve been wanting to write about the self-righteous attitude that some people have about speeding for years. I’ve never had the motivation to spend time on it before. But now we have speed cameras handing out citations, and the rallying cry to support this is that speeding is dangerous. Here are some examples of their claims: See the rest of this entry…

Opt-out of Boxbe Spam
First, let me give you the link to opt-out of unsolicited emails from Boxbe:
https://www.boxbe.com/unsubscribe
Please Note: even after several months from using the above link, I still receive messages from Boxbe to join.
I’ve been hit by Boxbe spam. This company promises to reduce the spam its users receive, and in return spam every one of their contacts on a regular basis. The only problem is, they do not provide the above link (which I cannot yet confirm it actually works) within their email. To the best of my current knowledge, it is still a requirement that they provide this link.

For Windows Users Who Want to Try Linux
Using computers is not intuitive. We may feel it is intuitive because we have used computers for a long time, or have become familiar with them. However, computers are not intuitive—especially their interfaces. Someone who is used to Windows may find the MacOS GUI frustrating.
Most people are familiar with Windows. The Windows GUI environment has become so familiar to us, that some of us may find it difficult to operate in another environment. Even down to the direction mouse pointer (arrow) is pointing—seeing a right-pointing arrow may make one a little uneasy about having to adjust their “aim” for the pointer to the right side of the pointer instead of the left side.

WordPress: the World of GPL Violations
It seems that the world WordPress themes is chock full of questionable use of GPL code. I really wonder if there is someone I can report this to. Let me give an example. There is a site that sells a “membership” to download their themes. Great, always happy to see someone getting paid for their hard work. But then I read about the license on this individual’s work. So just like so many other WordPress themes, it is questionable whether or not you can create a theme at all that isn’t under a GPL compatible license. What was even more shocking was this bad English: See the rest of this entry…

Sending Money to China
Just wanted to clarify what is happening…
1. There are X amount of dollars circulating in the US (called M2).
2. We pay 30% of our money to the gov’t.
3. The gov’t “spends” our taxes on the U.S. and the money ends up back into the system plus the deficit (borrowed money in the form of Treasury Securities).
4. Since we have so much debt, a lot of the money created goes to paying off interest to other gov’ts and never ends up back in our economy so the amount of money in the US stays pretty much the same, but each year the gov’t gives more and more money to other countries as Treasuries.
5. The “Rich” think that they deserve the money they have extracted from the system but, it is because of them “gaming the system” that we have to produce more money each year.
