Playing Around
In addition to playing with Blogger again with my "Motorhead" blog I’m also experimenting with WordPress and another hosting service.
It isn’t that I’m unhappy with my current hosting service or that I’m dissatisfied with Blosxom, far from it, they are both giving me service far, far above what I’m paying for. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about over WordPress and I wanted to check out what one got for one’s money with a cheap hosting service.
So far I’m tickled with both. Last night I imported all my posts from Larry’s Log into Larry D. Burton.com. I was exteremly surprised at how easy this was. I’ve got all the content from Larry’s Log, except for the comments, residing in Larry D. Burton.com. I think with some effort I could move over the comments also but I don’t know that it’s worth it. Yeah, the permalinks between the two aren’t the same but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
I’ve still got the default page design on Larry D. Burton.com as came with WordPress but I’ll work that out this week as I have time. I can’t decide whether to go with a complete new look or just modify what I’m using on Larry’s Log.
About Larry D. Burton
I'm a 55 year old controls engineer who just likes tinkering with stuff.
Finished high school at a local institute of learning. Decided it wasn't a good time to be a healthy, physically fit 18 year old with no college experience. Entered college and started working toward a degree in animal husbandry.
1975-1976
Discoverd that I was not going to be a very good husband of animals so I left school to figure out what I might be good at. A local beverage company took pity on me and paid me to go from place to place making sure their on tap beverages were maintaining their high quality.
1976-1979
Got out of quality control and into vending. Learned about control systems and refrigeration also learned that vending machines are heavy and vending doesn't pay all that well.
In 1977 I found myself married
1979-1981
Dedicated myself to installing and maintaining commercial refrigeration equipment. Found myself on the roof of a local grocery store one night in the middle of an ice storm replacing a compressor and figured it was time to get back into school.
1981-1986
Got my but back into school at night and changed jobs to keep the mechanical and electrical systems of a local coporate hospital in working order. The job expanded to unstopping drains and burning lab samples and amputated body parts.
1986-now
Finished school and took on a job designing, installing and maintaining industrial control systems. Along the way I picked up a bunch of computer skills that became very useful connecting various industrial controllers to one another and moving the data into coporate databases. I now operate Dallas Bay Technologies, a one man shop specializing in technology solutions for industrial problems.
