A Nice, Clean, Blog Colonoscopy!

That's what I like to see. Found: 0 Results. 😎 

A couple times a year I check muh blog out at Lumen

Lumen checks (and also logs) your URL for free but part of that depends if the host reports to Lumen. According to Lumen, it collects reports of complaints, Copyright violation, etc. 

Google/Blogger states on their Terms of Service (TOS) they report all complaints to Lumen. I don't know what other platforms report to Lumen (WP, IG, X, etc) because I've no presence online other than here at the Good folks at Blogger. And I mean that. 

Short course on Lumen if your host is Blogger (or maybe other Google owned service, like You Tube, again I don't know, never used Lumen for YT).

First, go to Lumen at the link in the first second sentence. Enter full URL. Click Go. You'll get to prove you're NOT a Robot by clicking crosswalks, motorcycles, cars or something. You get the, "Hoo-Ray you're not a Robot, hold on" message.

You'll see your URL and under "the box" a bunch of entries. Ignore them. Unlikely they have anything to do with your site, it's all populated with partial, slight matches that have nothing to do with your results. 

What you want to do is click on ADD MORE and narrow your parameters. A sub-menu to pick from for Title, Topic, Tags, Recipient, etc. Then in the ADD MORE box you type in what you want added to the search. You need to click on the ADD MORE button each time to add another specific "drill down" item. 

When you've used some or all of ADDS,  click GO or Continue, I forget which. Then, "Taa-Daa", the Results. If you're using Blogger, getting "FOUND: 0 RESULTS" is just what you want to see.   

I maintain Google/Blogger TOS. Far too many I see whining, "muh soooooooooshuuullllllll meeeeeeediiiaaaaaa account was suspended or 'I'm ba-ba-banned. Waaaah'!" Well, did you break TOS? "Uhhhh...I really don't know." WTF are they talking about. They know they broke TOS.   

My previous Blog Colonoscopy (6 or more months ago) also "FOUND: 0 RESULTS". Who doesn't want to share good colonoscopy news? 🤣 

EDIT/ADDED: I am not, in any way, affiliated with Lumen.

It's been fun...

...But I'm done.

The blog will remain up, behind the "Sensitive Content" advisory entry page.

Thank you to all who visited, commented and linked over the years.

Any other Blogger users notice a change in the appearance of the pop-up mode comments window?

Anyone? Is it just me? I just noticed the pop up comment box looks different. Why does Blogger keep diddling with this sh*t?

I looked at other pop up comment windows on other Blogspot sites. Most appear as the one at the top of the above image. A few look like the example on the bottom. 

Do I need to change a setting? I haven't changed any comment options at all.

Dear Blogger/Google - - - WHY? Image and Video Upload Screen Size.

Anyone/everyone else using Blogger Platform, when uploading an image or video, getting the FULL PAGE upload screen instead of the previous, SMALLER-sized upload "window-within-the-window" of the "New Post" selection? 

They tried this same thing a year or more(?) ago and quickly reverted to the "old way" - the regular sized (smaller) upload image/video "window-within-the-window." AKA: The SMALLER sized screen during image or video uploads

It's not just cosmetic, the SMALLER upload screen is a time-saver because while an image or video is being uploaded, one can be adding labels, a later posting time and date, etc. Using the smaller screen means a smaller carbon footprint and is GREENER than the full screen option. It is! 

If you use Blogger, after you've logged in, please - kindly - provide feedback to them by clicking on the Circled Question mark located upper right screen and then click on SEND FEEDBACK. Be nice, beg them to return to small screen upload image/video mode

If you DON'T BLOG, but have Gmail or other Google apps or account, you can help us out by doing the same with your Gmail account. Same procedure, once you're logged in, click on the Circled ? and SEND FEEDBACK. Thank you!

HEY KURT! SHOW ME THE HATE.

^ This comment exchange appeared at another blog, not Trainwreck in Maxwell.

I invite you to comment, Kurt. It shouldn't be difficult for you to provide the URL, post title or Meme(s). It shouldn't take long to recall what it was that I published since it apparently had such a dramatic effect on you.

I go out of my way in avoiding blog conflict. 99% of the time I let it go. In this case though, this accusation of "hate" was so egregious, Kurt dropped me from his link list. Fine. But if he can let me know what upset him, that'd be great, since there isn't any "hate", anywhere, on this blog. 

Anyone else feeling the same way? The comments section - while moderated - is open and all yours. Have at it, even the Anon Trolls. Adhere to MY COMMENT policies, though, if you want it published.

Comments of: "Boo-hoo-hoo, you criticized, 'muh precious Israel'", doesn't don't count. You'll have to walk that off. Save yourself the keystrokes if that's all ya got.

Internet in Real Time.

How many posts, searches and uploads occur every second to FB, X, IG, You Tube, Pinterest, Google, Yandex and other social media sites or online Big Media? How many people are calling an Uber or using Skype every second?

This site Tracks that data it in real time: The Internet in Real Time. Check it out. It doesn't include Blooger or WP. Awwwwww...😭  It should, I'd like to see real-time data tracking for posting on both Bloog and WP.

It's kind of like the USA Debt Clock but for Social Media and other online commercial sites.

Sensitive Warning Loop.

I am just now experiencing this Loop at other blogs with the content disclaimer. It seems to show up from time to time. Then it leaves.

Well.

A Spectacular Technical Achievement is Upon Us!

Oh Boy! A more modern look and feel! Don't worry, Beta-Testing a resounding success. Passed with flying colors. No glitches. No redesigns that impact the current simplicity of it.

If you dislike the changes, will they allow you to revert to the legacy mode?

Will never vote for Nimarata Randhawa ("Nikki Haley").

Nimarata Randhawa; alias: "Nikki Haley"
 
^ "Going to make this really clear. If Nikki Haley becomes Trump's running mate, I will vote Democrat. I do not care." ^
 
You aren't alone Fren. I feel the same way. I won't vote for this cunt under any circumstances or for any candidate who says she will be a part of their administration. I won't vote for Biden, but I WILL vote for a Third Party candidate.

The ONLY mistake Trump can make, imho, is having a large portion of his base turn on him because he decides to include this cunt as part of his administration, let alone his pick for VP.

TRUMP 2024! No Nimarata, at all, ever, as VP or any appointed position.

What's new?

Made a valiant attempt in getting caught up with everyone on the blog roll. Didn't quite make it all the way but everything and everyone is still around. Everyone okay out there? Hope so! 

Anything new? Besides Biden's Handlers driving head-on into World War 3 involving every nation on earth? Is Build Back Better working now? Someone said the DJIA closed at over 55,000 on Thursday and I overheard someone I don't know saying BitCoin is at One Billion Dollars. I've been away for so long.

A few chilly, under the average, days here but a warm up is supposed to happen this week. Joy!

Still in a process of sorting, tossing, keeping. Just a different area, not the garage, although there's more to do there. This is going to be a while.

The My closets in the basement...ugh. Boxes, stacked atop others. Ugh...ugh. If I do it inebriated does that make the task and decision-making process easier?

I keep waiting for Hillary to announce her run for president. C'mon Hill, don't disappoint me. I made sizeable wagers, dammit, that she'd enter the race.

There's a video ready for Monday Morning Music! Ooh-Ahh! But I'll be AFK for a while. Feel free to drop comments. I'll check in sporadically. Stay Safe out There!

I missed it because...

...I'm still measuring. 

July 14: National Tape Measure Day.

Today is National Give Something Away, Day.

Stop by my garage. You won't have to aks. You'll have to physically stop me from loading stuff into/onto your car and trailer.

Wednesday, July 5, 2023

In the meantime...

... Will be closing shop here again (go private a bit longer) and working on the garage project. It is getting organized. 

But then...there's - - - - - arrrrrggggghhhhhhhh - - - - a basement room that's next. I figure I'll be back publishing on a regular basis sometime around the 2028 election.

I can't (yes, I can) believe all the stuff we (many of us) accumulate over the years. Why didn't someone warn me when I was younger not to do this? Dad?!?!?!?!!!! Dad was a chucker, not a saver so I must take after my Mom. Mom!?!?!?!?!!! 

It's not a hoarding thing, it's, "why are we saving something we haven't used in over 10-30 years?" The universal answer to this is, "within a week from throwing it out you'll find you or someone else need it or some part of it." Fact Check: True. ✅

In the meantime, please check out THIS SITE; This Is Temporary.

This is only a Test.

I'm still here. Taking a break. Went "private" mode for reasons.

Will return in the near future. Thanks to those who've checked in. All is fine.

Hey - stop on over and help me clean out the garage. If I don't get this done this summer, I fear the wife may shorten my lifespan earlier than planned. 🤣

Will be returning to "private" mode in "X" hours but will Re-Open (again) in the near future.

(Tap, tap...) This thing on?

 

 Whoops!
