Dev-Picayune

picayune: of little value or importance

The Purpose of Having Two Blogs

I created Dev-Picayune for the express purpose of keeping technically related items here and away from things that are slightly more personal. I figured I would talk about technical topics like Python, Clarion, C#.NET, XML, XHTML,CSS, PHP, and any other technical subject that had my attention at the moment. It appears that despite my efforts to keep things extremely technical, that Surf Control at both my employer and other installations has decided that it needs to block access to this site. I have absolutely no idea why. Our network admin who maintains the Surf Control at our site, doesn’t seem to get any info back as to why it’s blocked. His only theory was it was related to an IP address. So now I have to wonder who else is sharing that IP address. Dreamhost uses shared IP’s so now I am paying the real price for switching services. IXWebHosting used dedicated IP per account. So either there is something seemingly evil (in Surf Control’s mind) about my Dev-Picayune site or it’s got to do with another site on the same IP address. I wish someone really knew what was going on so I could do something about it. Nothing worse than having my innocent technical content ruined by content control.
