Creative Writing Exercise

Well, with nothing better to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon, I volunteered to contribute to a creative writing exercise being hosted by Andy at the World Wide Rant . Here’s the basics: Each contributor comes up with two characters, a situation, a location...

Domain Switch (DNN and MyBlog now gone)

Today Trefry.net switched domain hosts. All seems to have gone as planned, and nobody should have noticed a thing. As part of the move however, I have finally decided to dump DNN ( DotNetNuke ) once and for all. Not that it's a bad platform, it's fine...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately

There's about a million things I'd like to write about besides the Pope dying, but I've been busy lately working on a new website, which I won't be divulging here (it's ultra-super-duper top-secret) at least until it's finished. Maybe when I get tired...

Recanting Comments

The Pope is Dead

I'm sure many of you are expecting that I'll write some sarcastic commentary, joyously pronouncing that "Ding-Dong the Pop is Dead" or something along those lines, but in an effort to throw you all yet another curve ball, I'm not going to. I have many...

I've found God
