Getting Closer to Moving Day for my Blog

I’m getting closer to moving my blog to a dot com address. Right now the address I’m wanting has expired and waiting to be freed from the current owner. I’m not sure if the owner knows that the domain name has expired. I have a back up domain that is available right now. I have a few days before I can grab the domain name. If you want to keep track of when I’m going to buy it just watch the side bar on the left hand side under the “Time Left” category.

On a last note, I’m not telling anyone what the domain names I’m looking at. You ask why, because some people going out and buying domains and turn around and sell them for a higher amount of money. I waited several months for the perfect domain name and I don’t want to wait anymore.

Steve Alford leaves Iowa for New Mexico – Tubby Smith comes to Minnesota

Steve Alford is leaving Iowa for New Mexico. I believe Steve Alford couldn’t handle being in the Big Ten. I hope New Mexico knows what they are getting into. First of all why is Bobby Knight telling the AD of New Mexico to go after Alford. Why is a coach from a different school making choices for the New Mexico Lobos. I think New Mexico needs to fire their AD before Bobby Knight starts running 2 basketball programs instead of just the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

In other news Tubby Smith is coming to Minnesota to coach. This is going to be an interesting couple years seeing if Tubby can turn Minnesota around from an 9-23 record. Minnesota will be a contender for the Big Ten title on a couple years.

Stat Traq 1.1.1 is closing in on 2,000 downloads.

Stat Traq release 1.1.1 is getting close to hitting 2,000 downloads and is just 1 download from that number. This is awesome for a plugin that I’m maintaining to be popular as it is. I’m getting ready to release Stat Traq 1.2.0 in the next few weeks and hope it can reach this number as well. I’m also adding a version checker to the release 1.2 to make it easier for the users to know when an update is available for it or not.

Murph Blog has a new look

My blog has a new theme that I modified to my liking. I made the sidebars a little bit bigger and adjust the bottom of the blog. I really like this new look and it is better to have more then one theme for your blog. The last one was getting old to look at. IF anyone has a better theme then this one, let me know so I can take a look at it. If it is a better one then I might start using it. I’ll also advertise the theme on my blog if I pick your theme. Start telling me about your theme.

New Site theme in a couple days.

I’m going to install a new theme for my blog in the next couple days. There are two reasons behind it. First is because I have been using this theme since I started using WordPress and my blog needs to have a different look once in a while. Second is because I’m getting ready to move my blog and giving it a new look is always a good thing.

Sold my car in record time.

I just got done selling my car the fastest that I have ever done before. I put my car up for sell on Friday and sold it Monday. I really sold it Sunday, but the banks are not open on Sundays. It was a white 1998 Dodge that was previously totaled out so it had a Salvage title on it. It was a car my father-in-law rebuilt for my wife when she was still in college. I thought selling cars is harder then this or I under sold my car. Either way my driveway has more room now.

Iowa Basketball 2006-2007 (#16) Season Over

Iowa Hawkeyes finished this season 17-14 and Fourth place in the Big Ten with a 9-7 record. Iowa did not make it the the NCAA Tournament nor were they invited to play at the NIT tournament. I hope Iowa uses this season to spring back into the NCAA tournament next year.

Iowa Basketball 2006-2007 (#15) Big Ten Tourney Time

Purdue beat Iowa in the Big Ten Quarter-Final game 74 to 55. The 19 point loss will prevent Iowa from going to the Big Dance. They needed to win the tournament to make it. Iowa is now 9-7 in Conference and 17-14 overall. Iowa will have to wait and see if the NIT will invite them to play or Iowa’s season will be over for this year.
