Got in a car wreck today. Thank goodness it was only a fender bender. Especially since I had our youngest and my wife in the car with me. A Suburban decided to cut in front of me and suddenly slam on the brakes. I didn’t have much choice but to slam on mine. I am fortunate enough to have good brakes on my car, but the car behind me did not. There does not appear to be much damage to the rear bumper, but we’ll see. Of course, we all ache now. Whether that is just in our heads or otherwise we’ll have to be determined when we try to get out of bed tomorrow.

While I like Sweetcron and think it fits the bill quite well, I like the idea of a microblogging platform that includes social connectivity. One such platform is tumblr. I figured I would give it a try and possibly replace Sweetcron with it. I signed up for an account at tumblr. I then created a script to import some of my old blog posts over from Sweetcron. Unfortunately, the script had a slight bug, so I need to remove all of my posts from tumblr and start over. Since tumblr offers no way to select and delete all current posts or posts that meet some criteria, I had to perform some research on how to get the job done. The recommendation is to delete your account and recreate it. But can I use the same username and domain? Sure! Okay. Sounds fair. I deleted my account, and when I tried to recreate it, I got the error that the domain I wanted was already in use? Huh!? But the stuff I read said the domain and account would all get deleted, and I should be able to use them again. So I’m in over my head. I decide tumblr support is required to move forward since I’d like to keep the domain in question. Well, there doesn’t appear to be much of a support system in place at tumblr. There is no support form or site. It is all done via e-mail. So far I sent 3 or 4 e-mails. And while it is nice to get the auto-response that they will get back to me soon, I’ve been waiting about 3 weeks for a response. So I guess I will stick with Sweetcron or take a look at some of the competition. It’s just sad that such a hyped-up system has no sort of interest in their customer support. Ugh!

Update 5/8: Tumblr finally cleared the subdomain, and I was able to sign up. Time to give Tumblr a try.
