Not many of you know this, but I really spend a great deal of my spare time working with the communities of the software programs that I use for my websites. From 2002 until 2005, I used NucleusCMS as my first choice for my blog software and phpBB as my forum software. [...]
99 Reasons Why 99 is The Great One
NHL.com had posted quite some time ago, 99 reason why Wayne Gretzky is the Great One. I finally found it and read it after going down memory lane with YouTube the other night. Here is what they say:
At the age of 10, Gretzky scores 378 goals in Brantford’s atom league - still an age group [...]
Mike & Taryn’s Wedding Photos
I have uploaded all the photos that I have for Mike and Taryn’s wedding. There are not enough! I would really like other members to send me their photos of the wedding as well so that we have a good photo gallery of the wedding!
If you have some photos, please email me and let me [...]
New YouTube Categories
I originally was only posting videos of great musical performances that I like into the YouTube category of the gallery. I decided to add some great hockey videos, so I added hockey as a category as well. Then, I decided that there are some historical events that might be worth documenting as well, so I [...]

Amazing Jay-Z Song
I made a post in the forum about the massive amount of music that I have purchased in the past while because of all the great albums that have come out lately. One of those albums was Jay-Z’s new album.
The first song that really caught my attention was a song called “Lost One” because of [...]
Upgraded The Server
If you were trying to view the site and found that you were either getting a page that said “cannot connect to database” or just an unresponsive site in the past hour or so….sorry about that! I was doing an upgrade on the server and didn’t think it was going to take very long. Everything [...]
Welcome Back Daughtry!
Chris Daughtry, ex American-Idol contestant and the best damb performer to ever hail on the show (other than you Kelly Clarkson) has finally finished up and released his new solo debut album. Do figure, it is called Daughtry and so is his band. That is fine! It is released actually tomorrow, but they must have [...]
New Leaf Theme
After asking around with some guys that are really better than me at design, they told me the RED was a little too much on this site and that I should try and get the color scheme to match better with my logo. After thinking about that, I was directed to a website that will [...]
New Anti-Spam Measures
I have implemented some new anti-spam measures for the blog and the forum. The first was adding a program called “bad behavior” that really works well with dealing with people attacking your site, spammers and internet robots that just use up bandwidth that I pay for. This plugin checks who they are and if they [...]
Mike & Taryn’s Wedding
I know, I know! You cannot load it right! Well, it is only here to attempt to get Taryn and Mike to actually want to watch it! Since this is a private video, it really should be a little older, so I decided to place it back to the [...]
Chasing Cars
Here is my version of “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol. It was recorded on a Fender Stratocaster with the vocals over top. It is nothing special, but recorded prior to singing this live at Mike and Taryn’s Wedding.

If this works, then my having the comments in the forum portion of the site will be back up and running with this new forum software….if it does not work, then I will be back [...]
Technical Difficulties
For the past 48 hours I have had real trouble with the site. I am sure that none of you want to really get into the details of it, but it has not been much fun. All logins still work and all the blog, forum, tree and gallery are in place. [...]
onvertigo.com Blog Service
*EDIT*
This service no longer exists as I am recommending people go to wordpress.com for blogs now!
I have recently released a blog service for my friends & family located at onvertigo.com.
Frankly, I personally find it very exciting to launch Onvertigo.com. It could turn out to be a great thing for members who might want their [...]
