Whirling Around The Work Vortex

by mapgirl on June 25, 2010

Without getting into it, I’ve been traveling for work and I get sick of looking at a computer so I’ve been doing very little but vegging out with soccer. (As well as suffering migraines in the office from eyestrain.) So expect posting to remain light.
People have left some interesting comments regarding my odd lot post. [...]

Back In Business! Welcome Year 4!

by mapgirl on January 21, 2010

There was some serious panic for a while there, but Flexo and Mrs. Micah fixed me up right tonight. (That .htaccess didn’t seem to copy right when I did the backup, or else it got totally lost.)
Now my blog is looking prettier than ever and back to my favorite 3-column format. Some more changes will [...]

Technically Fixed!

by mapgirlsfiscalchallenge on December 22, 2009

I finally got around to fixing some technical issues with my horribly hacked Blogger to Wordpress transition. There were a few scary moments in there, but bear with me and watch my blog layout evolve. I’m trying to get ready for my 4-year blogoversary in January 2010. Hard to believe it’s been that long!
UPDATE: Making [...]

Blog Hiatus

by mapgirl on November 6, 2009

Sorry for lack of posts this week. Crazy deadlines at work, 4 hr meetings that cut into breakfast and lunch times. It should be over sometime late next week.
To answer someone’s question about Caltrain, the furthest south it goes is Gilroy which isn’t even past Monterrey (But they do have an In ‘n’ Out! We [...]

Link Love – New Additions

by mapgirlsfiscalchallenge on October 7, 2009

I have been remiss in adding blogs to my blogroll. In fact, I am probably the worst blogger that actively writes but does not bother with link updates.
But someone reminded me of my duty to spread the love.
I’ve added:
Lazy Man and Money
The Centsible Life
You Have More Than You Think
Mom Advice
Single Guy Money

I broke down and bought a sub for lunch on Thursday. ($4) Then I went to meet the PF Blogger crew for happy hour ($21). Try as I might to rein it in, I leave a big tip and I try to ensure people are never shorted on the bill, especially after they complain on [...]

Thanks Everyone!

by mapgirl on August 31, 2009

[This is the weak blog post I originally wrote. I revised it and posted it, but now it's gone. I want to post it back up again because it's a significant blog milestone.]
Sometime earlier this month, I hit 250,000 unique visitors.
Go figure.
You like me! You really like me!

Lost Blog Posts and Not-Lost Contest Entries

by mapgirl on August 31, 2009

Without going into details, let’s just say that I lost all of last week’s posts and blog entries. ALL OF THEM. That totally sucks because I had about 10 things written up which are gone now. Since system maintenance schedules are part of what I do, I’m pretty cheesed off right now with no recourse. [...]
