Welcome back to another edition of “Search for $A, Find $B” at Oddball Update! This is where I get bored, look at my server logs and show you some of the dumb stuff people have been searching for when they run across my site.
In this, the first quarter report for 2008, we have Keebler’s [...]

I’ve just finished updating the underpinnings of Oddball Update, WordPress, to version 2.5, a milestone release with a lot of new features. Among the biggest changes are a totally redesigned admin area, which most of you don’t get to see. Too bad for you.
The part of the site that you do get to [...]

Where did the time go? I was supposed to do the third quarter edition of this regular Oddball department back in September or October, but apparently time got away from me. Gee, what a surprise. Anyway, I’ve already cruised through the server stats, and have borne witness to the truly wacky, incredibly [...]

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging — sorry for the delay. To begin, I’ve posted details of our excellent trip to Michigan, and there will be more entries in the coming days. I’ve also posted up my official Christmas list for 2007, this time powered entirely by Amazon. Which reminds [...]

Hello, I’m just back from two months in the future, where I got chased by a pack of kids on hoverboards and then went blind from staring at too many chrome license plates. Or, rather, I simply neglected the site and didn’t bother to post anything. You can believe whichever excuse you like. [...]

If you’re seeing this, you’re viewing Oddball Update on my new web host. Pages are being served from a quad-processor machine at a small hosting company that looks like a real quality operation, so I have high hopes. Post a comment if you see any errors, have any speed issues, or just want [...]

The time has come (once again) to move my myriad of websites to a new web host! I’ve had numerous issues with my current host(s) — most notably, emails that show up late or not at all — and ever since Oddball Update was moved to a new server, I’ve had more random issues [...]

And now, because I know you love it, and because I said I would start doing this quarterly instead of annually, here are the goofy search terms people have been using to find this site over the last three months.

Over the last couple days, whilst unable to sleep at one in the morning, I’ve been absently traveling back through the old “Private Oddball” archives from 1994 and onward. “Private Oddball” is the throwaway name I gave to the blog I keep privately on my local machine, which serves as a personal journal of [...]
