I'm the burning bush. I'm the burning fire. I'm the bleeding volcano.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

I now pronounce you... divorced. in Site Updates
Oh MAN. Are you reading this? ARE YOU READING THIS? It's kind of a big deal. I've been talking about this for, like, forever. This feature has been on my to-do list from the moment I conce...
No harassment policy in Site Updates
Just a quick entry to warn people that stalking, threats, harassment, impersonation, sharing other's private information, or a general behavior of trolling and insulting behavior is not allowed ...
Busy, busy, busy in Site Updates
Just a quick note to say that while life has been going well, it's also been quite busy. So if you've left me a comment asking a question and haven't received a response, I have not been around ...
Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice in Site Updates
Some people might be starting to think that Prosebox is actually Hotel California. You know, you can check out any time you like but... you can NEVER LEAVE. So I've added one of those necessary...
Issues in Europe in Site Updates
I've heard that several people in Europe are not able to connect. This is one of those issues that is out of my control - looks like the DNS I use is having issues with a datacenter in Amsterdam...
Changing your password in Site Updates
Finally got this one done. Now, instead of telling people they can log out and use the Forgot Password link to reset it, there's an actual option under Settings to change your password while log...
Suggestion Box, February Edition in Suggestion Box
People keep asking "Where's the February suggestion box?" Fine, here it is. I'm not actually asking for suggestions right now, mind you; with the fall of OD I'm a bit overwhelmed with suggestio...
Prosebox, now with more Cupid farts! in Site Updates
Somebody left me a message a while back. I don't remember the comment exactly, but to paraphrase it was something like this: Can we have a pink theme? With lots and lots of pink? These th...
More Entry Page Sweetness in Site Updates
OK, so I think this will be a pleasing update. I'm pretty happy with it. There might be some glitchy things but here's hoping it works for the most part. First of all, and please note that thi...
Revamping the entry page in Site Updates
Those with an attention to detail will probably notice I've been messing with the entry page the last few days. Hopefully people like my "improvements" (I suppose it's all relative). I bumped u...
A little whizz-bang awesomeness for your Friday in Site Updates
I've heard a number of complaints about the sort order of books, particularly from those who have created a 2014 book that always appears under their 2013 book. Well, never fear! I've got an an...
4,000! in Site Updates
4,000 users! Woo hoo! When we reach 5,000 we'll have to have a virtual parade! Good times, Prosebox. Good times.
Minor adjustment for those who accidentally save drafts in Site Updates
Now there's only one save button, and if you want to save your entry as a draft you'll have to check the box. I assume that most people just want to post their entries directly, so that seems li...
State of the Box Address in Site Updates
My fellow Proseboxicans, (apparently Proseboxican is not actually a word) If you had suggested to me one year ago that I would, one year from then, have a successful website collecting most of ...
Brief Interruption in Site Updates
I will be taking Prosebox down momentarily to add a little bit of extra muscle to the server. I want to stay ahead of the growth curve. :) Don't worry, it shouldn't take long (that's the joy o...
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention earlier... in Site Updates
Worth mentioning since I see a whole lot of new people (wave)... One thing that is on my to-do list but I haven't got around to yet is letting you backdate entries. Also, the subject of importi...
Well hello. in Site Updates
Oh my, the internet is all ablaze today! Or, at least, our tiny corner of it. OD is shutting down! Wow. I have history there. It's worthy of an entry at some point. Meanwhile, looks like th...
Hiding from friend lists in Site Updates
It's been suggested to me that the Friend Of lists can be a potential source of drama. And so, in the spirit of drama reduction, I've added a setting "Hide me from friend lists". If you check t...
Profile pages, now with comment history! in Site Updates
This is a little feature that's been in the back of my mind for some time now. I think you'll like it. Visit any user's profile page, and at the bottom you can check out the recent comment hist...
Another tweak in Site Updates
I decided while I was messing with the entry page to also move the author info into the entry panel, seems like a better use of space. I also think I like the word "Follow" better than "Bookmark...
Trying something a little different in Site Updates
I've heard complaints about the entry page being totally boxed in. And I understand. I think it could cause claustrophobia on a larger display. So I moved the floating nav bar under the menu o...
IT'S ALIVE!!! (I think) in Site Updates
Yay, Prosebox on a new server! OK, so there's probably nothing for you to be terribly excited about (other than the site coming back up), but it's pretty cool on my end. There's a pretty good c...
DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE in Site Updates
Prosebox will be going down in about 15 minutes for some uber-maintenance. I'm actually moving it to another server. So, you know, wish me luck. I've heard these server moves can be CRAZY.
Recent Markdown extensions pulled out in Site Updates
I've had complaints by a couple of people about getting application errors when trying to post long entries. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm suspicious of the new stuff I just added. So I...
Brief maintenance interruption in Site Updates
UPDATE: Database upgrade appears to have gone well. Carry on. :)
