While it is hot and humid, I don’t like to work outside. I’ve injured myself in the past and have no desire to do so again. Sometimes though, you just have to suck it up. Today might be one of those days. And I’ll be out in the heat and humidity, and sun will bake my brains… because it’s summer in the swamp.
I spent most of the day moving kids around. Took D1 to her camp. Picked her back up. Took both to a book store. Brought them home. Worked on my hobby website for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Websites suck. Rick is a hero.
Did get some more stuff put back where it belongs. Still have stuff to put away.
D1 is traveling with a friend for the rest of the week, so the household is disrupted again. I will plod along. Probably not going to the BOL this weekend, because I’m building a little momentum here and want to keep that going. Use the inertia in my favor…
No one knows for sure what tomorrow will bring, but I’m pretty sure that it won’t be a massive improvement in everyone’s life or outlook. So I prep for bad things. And bad things do happen. They have happened, and they will happen again.
Stacks will help get through the bad times. Get you some!

Yes, except this one. Barbara, Rick and Nick are all heroes!
The new building is probably for show, with the ‘X’ visible from the escalators to baggage claim at ABIA, the real intent behind selecting that site. Who knows where the real work will take place.
That said, the core service probably has very low maintenance requirements.
There are rumblings in Del Valle – the actual city entity impacted by the Gigafactory — that not all is copacetic in Tonyland as of late, and the locals have not been happy with that deal struck by the politicians, especially now that they are realizing the budgetary impact of the tax breaks on their school system.
What? In Texas? I’m shocked. Shocked!
Meanwhile, my wife’s contact at Toyota says that Tesla is starting to recognize the site’s limitations for expanded industrial activity due to lack of a railroad line.
Again, shocking.
I wonder what the Spaniards would want to run a rail line down their toll road right of way, similar to MOPAC (Missouri Pacific) in Austin.
That will be the only viable solution for the Gigafactory and rail access.
The Spaniards would want a fortune no doubt. Partially because that road is a huge failure but more because … He’s the Real Life Tony Stark!
Ka-ching!
Greetings, y’all. Several people have contacted me in the past few weeks because I’ve gone quiet. I’m not dead, hospitalized, or on the run, just very busy. If things ever lighten up (maybe when The Best Economy of Our Lifetimes gets even better) I’ll get back to posting here and at Daily Pundit and Cold Fury. And reading them; I barely even open the sites lately because I don’t have time.
Maybe you should have a summer home in… Montana or Wyoming. That’s it! I hear it’s nice there this time of year.
Srsly, be careful. A brain is a terrible thing to bake.
Hi, SteveF. I wasn’t worried, but it is good to hear the dulcid click of your keyboard. My best to you and the chickens.
RickH is a HERO! Thanks.
Hi, Mr. SteveF! You need to get out of lame coding and move to where the real money lays. DEI, EQ, and SEL are where the real bucks exist. Sweet goobermint cash. Nonprofit cash. PLT bucks and plugsy McSpongeBrain tax dollars. It is like a hog trough filled with gold. You don’t even any qualifications! Just mention the buzz words, and, viola! The money starts rolling in!
Meant to thank Nick and all for the content, too, and Barbara for her support.
Dang morning cobwebs…
Well it’s 84 this morning Sunny Clear Blue Sky humid of course. And we’re back on generator. 4:00 this morning something took out power to us and if Centerpoint is to be trusted eight of our closest friends but they have not solved the issue in four and a half hours so back on generator. Procrastination pays off.
Yeh, my last job at Tau Beta Pi involved doing their website. External facing and internal facing. Lots of ColdFusion, SQL Server, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I took great pains to keep the site secure by stripping all HTML from any submission, parameters for SQL outside the query and parameters inside the SQL to avoid SQL injection, firewall that blocked all ports but email and 443. The internal site was on a separate port that was not accessible from outside the firewall. I took great pains to hide the page addresses beyond the top page to avoid direct linking.
I was never really awesome at any of the technologies but did enough to get the job done and draw a paycheck. Largely self-trained and some
stolenborrowed code. You take one thing from the web, it is stealing. You take many things from the web, it is research.And in other news I am going to take advantage of the 70 or over exemption for jury duty. I really don’t want to fight that Knoxville traffic again like I did for 15 years. I also have difficulty sitting for long periods due to my back. Just getting up and walking around for a few minutes is enough to fix the issue. I don’t think the judge would take kindly to that activity.
It would have been interesting to sit on a federal district court jury, I think. No mundane cases in those courts. But probably a lot of legalese that would fly right over my head.
The session would have been for the entire week. I don’t need more misery in my life.
My jury summons for the Houston city courts says over 75for an exemption. I guess we’re just more vigorous here in the Lone Star State. Or they had to lower the bar in order to fill the jury pools…

Texas has a jury trial option to assign blame in a divorce. That requires a large pool of jurors be available every week even if most get sent home.
Well I looked in the backyard and there’s an open fuse on the pole behind my house so I’m guessing that it’s only the people fed from that pole that are affected. I’m also guessing that Center points Assurance Online that they have been looking and evaluating the problem is a load of bat Bucky. Since there’s no one on a ladder in my yard. Or any guys in vests hot sticking the fuse.
Of course something caused that fuse to open and that needs to be addressed. But no one seems to be doing that either.

@nick:
In UK it’s 76, so they’ve got 2 months to call me. But against that, a person is only supposed to be called once. I’m not convinced that that restriction is enforced as much – I’ve been called twice. Once to Harrow Crown Court, the second to Middlesex Crown Court. In both cases, travel expenses were paid, and a daily allowance for food.
I’m reasonably sure the second call was a mistake, but it wasn’t worth fighting, and my employers (different ones or each call) honoured the legal requirement to release me.

There are many covid mandate cases reaching the federal courts right now. 17 involving my lawyer alone, covering several hundred plaintiffs in multiple states.
The playbook is fascinating. We sue in state court, the defendents request it moved to federal court, the statist federal judges rule against us, completely ignoring the black-letter law, and then we begin in earnest at the appeals court level. We’ve got cases in 3 different circuits right now.
Eventually, I expect, the higher courts will direct the lower courts to actually hold real trials, with real legal arguments, and maybe some juries.
One other interesting aspect is that since we’re in multiple appellate circuits, if there are conflicting decisions, we’ll have to head to the supreme court.
I remain hopeful.
The C suites were counting on Corn Pop’s mandate to provide cover in return for supporting the agenda, but Roberts threaded a very fine needle when he realized what that mandate would do to what was left of the economy.

In San Antonio, it’s 70+ to be exempt, so when they tried to call me for jury duty last year, I took the exemption, being over 70.
I don’t FEEL 70, or at least, only PARTS of me feel 70. Like this morning, my back felt every day of 70+.
Started mowing our meadow today. I use a weed whacker, but with a metal blade mounted – dunno what y’all call that. Here, it’s a “Motorsense”, so a “power scythe”?
With the wet Spring and Summer, the growth is crazy thick. Two hours to do about a third of our meadow, because I had to go over it twice.
I’m hoping the local farmer will mow the field next door this week, so I can just toss the hay down to him. Otherwise, I have to haul it off, which is a pain.
Trump suggested that Taiwan should start picking up more of the cost of its defense, and the tech stocks tanked.

You haven’t lived until you plug in one of those 100 amp 20,000 ??? volt fuses and it blows glass and metal all over you. If you ain’t protected, you gonna burn. Or in the eyes.
BTW, those fuses can blow just for corrosion. Number one fuse killer is squirrels though. Cooks them too.
I am not at all sure what your distribution voltage is. Really old is 2,400 volts. Then 4,160 volt. 6,400 volts. 12,800 volts and the present best is 20,000 volts which I have at the house. I think that my office is 69,000 volts but I am not sure.
Thanks for the kind words. Taking care of this site is fairly easy – just install updates when they occur.
WordPress does all of the back-end work. I wrote the theme, but it’s not fancy. A few plugins I wrote help keep the site safe.
What Nick is doing (based on his reports; I have no actual access) is a bit harder. Moving content from an old environment to a new one is time-consuming. Not sure how Nick is doing it, but I’d just create a new WordPress site, then create pages and copy/paste content from the old site to the new pages. That’s assuming the content is static. Add a contact page. Use a few plugins to make things easier.
Moving a domain to a new hosting place takes a bit more effort. Setting up a new hosting plan is easy. You can create the WP site before it goes live. Then move the domain namesevers to the new site (with a few minor and well-documented changes to the WP database to enable the new domain name).
WordPress makes it a bit easier to create and manage a site, as WP code takes care of all of the back-end stuff. (There’s a reason why WP is the back-end of 30%+ of web site, including some high-profile sites.) With WP, all you do is create pages, and establish the menu structure. If you have external files that need to be on the site (PDFs, etc), a bit of effort to recreate those pages (downloading from original, uploading to Media, creating pages with links to the media). Can be time-consuming to transfer that content, but not difficult. A few htaccess commands to redirect old content to new pages – which can be done via a generic 404-type page (“Can’t find that info – try looking at the menu items”).
All of this is based on what I surmise to be @Nick’s hobby website content. I have not looked at the old site, nor at what Nick has done so far. The key is to not try to convert old content pages/code, but just copy/paste content into a new WordPress page. As for plugins to use, Nick could look at the ones installed here to help secure and enhance the site.
Again, thanks for the kind words.

———————
Rick has summarized most of it. There are details that trip you up though. I “took control” of a domain, but it never transferred to the new hosting service. I couldn’t figure out why the site still had a temporary wordpress URL. Now I’ve completed the transfer and “linked” the domain to the wp site, but I’m still waiting for all the internal urls to change to the actual domain. Should be a simple search and replace that takes minutes at most but it was several hours and it hadn’t completed “linking”. I’ve figured out that that usually means there is an email waiting for some confirmation or access code to be “accepted” before anything actually happens, but I don’t see an email.
There are other gotchas that are biting me, because the original host uses a proprietary site builder and hosting scheme that obscures and translates a bunch of stuff, and some of it involves domains, sub-domains, and redirects. IE doesn’t like too many layers of redirect apparently so links to the original “store” page fail, as do links to a pdf on the old site. But only sometimes, and it seems to depend on whether the link is HTTP, HTTPS, or a combination of that with WWW.
Some of it might just be the age of the original site, www is explicitly defined as a subdomain of myoldsite.com at the original host, and myoldsite.com is actually a subdomain of myoldsiteoriginalURL.com, and I think they are all actually subdomains of the host’s crappy lockin strategy as I see a URL that looks like myoldsiteoriginalURL.homestead.com in their control panel too….
and htaccess redirects fails when the url involves /index.html or /home.html, which I suspect is because there is other default handling of those pages by modern browsers and webservers…
I don’t enjoy fighting this stuff anymore.
n
@Nick: if you need to replace URLs in the new WP database, get the “Better Search and Replace” plugin. It has a ‘test’ mode so you can see what your search/replace will do. There is no ‘automatic’ URL updating. The plugin looks at the entire WP database and does a search/replace according to what you specify.
Works quite well and fast. Once it is done, you can disable and delete.
There are simple htaccess rules to take care of the ‘www’ part missing from any request. Look at the Settings screen for the “CellarWeb Privacy and Security” on this site for recommendations of htaccess commands to use. One of the suggestions will take care of mixed http/https requests.
When you need a *flashier* mode of failure for your garage queen Bronco:
https://kindredmotorworks.com/models
@nick – the webserver controls what happens when a specific page is not in the request (URL). You can set the pages to be the default page to ‘serve’ if not specified in the request.
A directive in your htaccess like this
#Alternate default index pages
DirectoryIndex first.html index.htm index.html index.phpWill ‘serve’ those pages in order if the request (URL entered) isn’t specified. So a request of http://www.example.com will first look for these pages in order
If none of those pages are found, then the server will return a 404 response, which normally shows the 404 page (which you can define with this directive):
errordocument 404 myerrorpage.phpwhich will intercept any ‘404’ responses and show the myerrorpage.php file.
So, commands in the htaccess file can ‘adjust’ what happens.
if you need to replace URLs in the new WP database
– probably not actually, because I keep getting caught in a static mindset. WP must have some setting for a site called something like a “hosting url” or “hosting domain” variable that it stuffs into pages as it builds them… I am thinking old school that it “builds” a whole site, and that all the internal urls need to be rebuilt with qxt.bluehost.com being replaced by “mynewsite.com” which is probably an incorrect mental model on my part.
The bluehost management tool does something when you click the ‘now link the existing wp site to your new domain’, because you get a spinning ‘linking’ message. I can’t imagine why it would take more than a few minutes at most, which is why I suspect something somewhere is waiting for confirmation that I really want to do this….
The whole thing is frustrating as heII.
n
There are two entries in the wp-options table in your WP database that contain the domain name. Easy to find; they should have ‘https://www.example/com’ in there. Should be help docs on the hosting place that detail how to fix those.
I got a response from the district court. I am excused from jury duty.

We had one of those VW Vans in the middle 1960s. We were driving across Arizona to San Diego, CA in the summer of 1966 (hot !) when Dad’s homebuilt a/c unit caused the #3 cylinder to melt down into a puddle (no cooling air from the blower on top). Dad and a VW mechanic spent a week putting a new engine in the van. When we got back to Oklahoma, Dad replaced it with a very used Ford station wagon V8 that was a valve eater.
One of my buddies has a 1968 ??? Ford Bronco with no top and no doors with 37 inch wheels on it. The body is almost totally gone with a tarp for the roof. He has the 302 V8 with a three speed on the floor with glass packs.

“The fallout continues after Saturday’s shooting”
https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-fallout-continues-after-saturdays.html
“Four days after the assassination attempt on President Trump, there’s still an awful lot of smoke blocking our view of the fire. Unfortunately, that’s likely to be the case for months to come. The fact that the would-be assassin was allowed to get “danger close” and fire several shots is an indictment in itself of the US Secret Service and every other agency involved in providing security that day. It was an unconscionable failure of policies and systems that should have been so well-rehearsed that they were almost on autopilot. We’ve had so much experience of providing security to high-risk targets that this should have been a no-brainer. Clearly, it wasn’t. Heads should roll at the highest level, and if any element of Diversity-Equity-Inclusion and other progressive buzzword policies can be shown to have contributed to the failure, it/they should be discarded at once and all concerned re-trained using more realistic, real-world-applicable frameworks.”
“Will that happen under President Biden? Oh, hell no. Might it happen under President Trump if he’s re-elected, and if he stays alive (despite all the Secret Service, the FBI and other agencies can do) until he takes office? You bet your life! I daresay there’ll be (metaphorically) a swinging sword scything its way through Washington DC, and it’ll likely start with those agencies and people who failed so abysmally last Saturday.”
Biden will continue to assign all junior female SS agents to Trump and Vance. And incompetent SS travel agents in charge.

“The agreement has been in the works since at least January 2024, when PowerCo successfully tested a sample battery cell from QuantumScape. The results exceeded expectations, showing 95% range retention over 300,000 miles. In comparison, EV batteries today tend to lose around 20% of their range over a much shorter distance. Solid-state batteries could also bring much higher electric range, faster charging, and improved safety.”

I am going to drop my Verizon service and move my phone number to T-Mobile. Verizon had so many failures during Beryl that it was very concerning: low signal strength, hours to get a text out, the internet service for Verizon cratered across the entire Houston area, etc.
My wife’s T-Mobile phone never wavered during Beryl. In fact, she was mad at me for using her phone to check my email for three days.
I should have predicted this when I could not come to an agreement with Verizon to put a cell phone tower on my 14 acre office property about a decade ago. I could not get them about $1,200 per month rent for their million dollar cell phone tower. I figured that the agravation was not worth it and told them to blow after a couple of months. They never put a tower out here in this area, they just added a few antennas to the T-Mobile towers out here.
