The Black Informant

After a long battle with understanding the functions of a MySql database, I was finally able to bring the old site back up. The problem was clearly ME because I was reading too much into certain commands (which is why I went into engineering and not programing). The only downside is that postings for the month of June and July are gone. Oh well! I’m just glad to have recovered the other 98 percent :).

Why I decided to come back

Nothing real deep here. The other night my wife and I were looking at the ABC news special on AIDS in Black America. While I thought the program was pretty good, like always I had some additional thoughts on the subject that I wanted to share on the subject. I wanted to find a site online where there was at least a decent conversation going on about the subject, but was unable to find one. Then I began to remember all the links that I put together over the years that addressed such issues in greater detail. It was then that I realized that while I may have been “finished” with the site, perhaps some folks out there (my silent readers) were not. While checking out some of the web management tool with my new hosting company, I decided to check out my site statistics. To my amazement I discovered that just in the past 3 days I had well over 5000 actual visits to the site (something I did not expect to see at all). Although numbers do change over time, they can never be discounted.

I want to personally thank all of you for your patience while this site during this time. While I cannot promise that this site will still be around years from now, the one thing you can be sure of is that I will do what I can to earn your continued readership.

Glad to be back!

PS: I am going to be doing some layout changes to the site over the next few days (As you can see, I am still on my quest to find the best template for this site). In the meantime just enjoy the light show :).
