Punderings

A couple of musings I figured I’d just ask the question, and see what the answers are.

• Why shouldn’t I just run my blog and website over https? I have a real https cert setup on my domain name – courtesy of lovely 1and1 – so everything should be happy for all my readers. Is there any drawback to either 1) linking to my main site on https, or 2) link just to my blog on https? I suppose serving static content isn’t very exciting that way, but it might be nice to have the blog there. Is it really going to slow anything down?
• iPhones in Europe. Tips? I suppose I’ll turn off data and just leave it on for incoming calls, which I’ll keep short to avoid the over-dollar-a-minute charges. Heck, I’ll be online (on a laptop) most of the time I’m not physically walking, eating, or sleeping anyway.
• Cooking is wonderful. Amy brought home leftover fajita earlier in the week (when I was sick), so I just had to have it myself. Did quite a creditable job of it, if I do say so myself – interesting spices on the chicken that even Roxanne liked.
• Why do I hardly ever get any comments? I suppose that I blog for myself first, and not my audience, which is a great sin according to some blogging guides out there. But still, it’s a bit odd that the post that continues to aggregate comments at orders of magnitude beyond any other post is one about an obscure TV personality that 98% of you probably have never heard of.
• Why shouldn’t I post that I’m selling my BMW and am looking to buy a new E36? I won’t be ready to sell until at least Patriot’s day, but still…
• Why do I have so little graphics-fu? I do have a sense – perhaps a quite, ahem, unique one – of visual design. But I really can’t do graphics worth a damn. Sigh.
• Why shouldn’t I buy a real copy of American Typewriter font, which I love, especially lowercase? Oh, wait: no graphics-fu, that’s right.
