Lightening things up

In: Blogging

I’ve decided for the last month of the year, that I will focus more light things - music, TV, etc.  This makes sense since it’s about time we start talking the best of lists and such.  I’m also a little tired of the news focus recently - so depressing.
And honestly we need another blog talking [...]

Changing email addresses stinks

In: About Spencer, Blogging

Does anything suck more than changing email addresses?  I’ve had a .Mac email address for years - it comes along with a bunch of features, but costs about $70 per year.  I never killed it because I didn’t want to change addresses, but finally I decided to cave.  I’ll replace my email address with a [...]

Blog Depression

In: Blogging

I’ve been blogging for over a year now and while doing it found a steady group of blogging friends (look to the right under “Super Blog Friends” - let me know if I should add you too.)
Anyway - I’ve noticed that every once in awhile bloggers get tired, bored, annoyed with blogging for whatever reason.  [...]

Spam attack

In: Blogging, Wordpress

So yesterday I noticed that I had 30 new comments when I checked my blog.  Turns out a porn site had decided to target my site by adding comments to all of my old posts.  They tried to add 132 comments to old posts.  Thanks to Wordpress plug-in Akisment, most were turned away.
Spammers are the [...]

Little frustrations

In: Blogging, Wordpress

So just because I’m now hosting my own blog at iamspencer, doesn’t mean that there haven’t been issues.  Seems as if there has been some issue with Godaddy, Godaddy and Comcast, and spammers.  Add to that I’ve been in Boston for two days and then went to New York City today and I just haven’t [...]

Welcome to an all new A Rubber Door

In: Blogging, Wordpress

Welcome to the all new A Rubber Door. I grew tired of blogger being down so I bought a new URL, and upgraded my server, and decided to go with WordPress (thanks to Merujo and Urban Jacksonville). I have to say that the installation is increadibly easy. There’s a tool that imports [...]

I’ve lost patience with blogger. Over the past few months, the amount of time it has been down is unacceptable. I know it’s free - but the level of service they’ve been giving recently isn’t even worth that.
I suggest all Blogger users to post a link to this letter on their site and [...]

Anyone out there?

In: 24, Blogging

So yesterday I wrote a very last minute post about last night’s episode of 24 that divulged what happened in the first 15 minutes of the show. This morning I awoke to a comment from someone admonishing me for the inadvertant spoiler. What I realized as I rode the train in is [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
