Paul Kimbrel's Digital Home

I saw it on Netflix. I hit play. Just for nostalgia. Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all night.

Here are a few shots of our handy work this weekend:

Holes are dug.  Dirt is mixed.  Flower are planted.  Here's to hoping they survive...

Planted 4 tomato plants, a couple of pots of impatiences, gerber daisies, and another leafy plant of some variety.  Didn't get everything done that I wanted, but it's been productive all the same.

I love this time of the year. I love picking out flowers for the yard and to hang up around the house. It's a nice to do something other than stare at a computer screen. And I enjoy spending the time with my wife looking through the beatiful options. I wish we could plant all of it! :)

Having a wonderful evening out with My Love @ Buffalo Wild Wings.

I think I pulled it off. I can now post in one place and my posting goes to both Twitter and Facebook - and it all links back to my blog. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Google Plus to update programmatically. Not sure why, but Google likes to make their API's overly complicated.

But can a perfectionist ever be happy?  I didn't really like the design of this site...  Still not totally happy, but I hope I never get to where I am happy.  I think I'd get bored.

Rock'n the house of the Lord this morning...

Had a wonderful day with the family today.  Lots and lots of kids in the house.  Now we have a messy living room and the floor needs to be mopped again.  But it was worth it...

Hopefully the decompression won't be too bad this year.

I've redesigned my digital home.  All my online experiments will reside here.  A few features of the new site:

1. No PHP!
2. No WordPress!
3. Frankly, no dynamic content... at all (for now)!

Why the step backwards?  Dynamic content = Opportunity to be hacked.  I noticed that my content (frankly) isn't that dynamic.  So why do I have this fancy-schmancy editing system that I have to upgrade every two days to keep the porn industry out of my website?

In light of my recent hosting faux pas, I developed my own publishing system!  What's it called?  The Publishing System.  Yea - fancy name later.  Of course, it's not really that fancy.  Just a database and a web app to edit the database.  I have a publishing job that runs when I edit something that copying a whole buncha STATIC HTML out to my site.

Yea - stick your head in a bucket, hackers.  This PHP shop is CLOSED...
