I Had Food Poisoning

Feb 10 2012

Hi I’m okay now, mostly; almost back to normal.

I think it was the shellfish Wednesday night.

This was me for the last 36 hours:

I’ve had it once before, but I’d ~~forgotten~~ blocked-out how bad it feels. Your life just stops, there’s nothing you can do but wait it out in pain.

It’s funny how you can be taken down by something so small it can be seen only with a microscope. Then I got to thinking what a great way to take down an opponent; bet if I googled that I’d find some history stories.

Here’s a remedy: drink vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar, two tablespoons every few hours.

Maybe it works because it’s an acid and counters the extreme amounts of base? Guessing here.

TTYL, happy Friday!

About Installing My New Blog Theme

Feb 7 2012

Things are looking sharp around here at KeriBlog eh?!! :D

Be mindful of the two potential security holes in your website:

1 – Always update your theme, and to get your theme from a company that will provide updates
2 – Your log-in name and author name are likely the same, so don’t display it by the “posted by”

What installing a new theme looks like:

Next up: making my sidebar amazing. I have a list on paper here.

What the Florida Keys Looks Like

Jan 31 2012

Neat filter on my photos, don’t you think.

I did it at the camera level with my PEN, it’s called “Pop Art”.

Florida has the best mini-putt courses.

The people who built the bridge to the Keys from the mainland, they lived on this little island in 1910.

The really really long bridge is here, the 7 Mile Bridge.

The one they blew up in the Shwartzenager movie , ‘True Lies’.

Manatees are the cutest.

Nickname: Sea Cow. An un-official mascot of the Keys. Everybody loves a Manatee.

It’s sad though, when you see them with chewed-up fins and gouges in their backs; they often swim too close too boats.

It’s not their fault, they’re too dumb to know better.

It’s the kind of place you can still leave your doors unlocked.

People don’t litter, people are friendly and funny, it’s safe, and all the nature is fiercely protected.

If you get to visit here, don’t be a d-bag.

Rode the Train Home & I Have Internet Again

Jan 29 2012

Cool, eh?!

It’s the sleeping car alley on an Amtrack train (Amtrack in USA = VIA in CDN). I gotta say it’s much cheaper down here though; $50 will get you quite far.

Here’s what you can do if there’s two of you:

each buy a ticket
one of you upgrades to a little room for $100
invite the other to ride with them

It was a 10 hour journey.

That’s a very long time to sit still.

It’s amazing really, everything you need in a 3.5′ x 7′ foot room.

Not being sarcastic… there’s people in Japan who live full time in spaces half this size. With everything they own. They make me and my trunk look like pansies.

Japan is on my travel list oh we are so going.

Hi hi.

The dining car.

Like I told the guys, “I can’t believe you served me this on a train”.

This was warm.

While on the topic of food, my next new blog is almost ready to be launched, hopefully by the week’s end.

It’s just a little blog, but the name, I know, HA.

Lastly, I’m back online.

Going online at a security conference is always risky. And I don’t know if you’ve ever rebuilt a computer after it’s been compromised, but the time that takes far out-weighs missing a couple days of internetting. More about that later over at SmartenUpInternet.com.

This is how I’ve been connecting since I arrived January 1… it’s called a MiFi, get it?

It’s a personal internet connection. We use our phones as HotSpots in Canada to connect. I love this thing. I’m using it to blog right now.
