We now support OpenID as a method of authentication on our site. I see that a number of folks are adopting it as their standard method of logging in, so I figured that I would make it easier for them. But, that’s as far as I support it. Don’t get me wrong. I want to know if you experience any problems with it on our site and will work to resolve them. What I mean is, I am not using it myself.
I really love the idea. It could solve a lot of the authentication issues that I have created for myself after using about 30 different username/password combinations and a number of email addresses @ different domains in the more than 10 years (more like 12+ now, but I still say 10+ for some odd reason) I’ve been in the computer industry and on the Internet. Every once in a while, I spend about 3 days trying to log in to a site that I haven’t visited in 2 years. That can be very annoying. If I only had one ID, it would save a lot of hassle.

Well, I hate to be ‘that guy’, but we’ll at least make a passing nod to the fact that you’re seeing a brand new site today.
Jenn and I (read that as mostly Jenn), spent the past three days getting our new Wordpress blog and gallery off the ground, importing the old blogger posts, cleaning them up a bit, and troubleshooting everything under the sun as upgrades and dependencies collapsed left and right.
You may now bask in the glory of the new blog. No touching!
There’s still a ton of work to get it where we want it, so try not to break it. That means you.

Ok. I know I promised lots of information and pictures. I know I need to follow through. We have had lots of adventures recently, and they are starting to stack up. I still need to talk about our travels with a very dear friend of mine and her family through Highlands Hammock. I promised to talk about our metal detecting adventures in Clarcona Horse Park. And just this weekend, we racked up another great time on the east coast.
Johnny is really the better of the two of us when it comes to this blog. I am a big slacker. He is a writer at heart. I would much rather have the adventure and take pictures than spend time writing about them. But, this is our blog, and its time for me to make a contribution. I know that I am really going to be glad that I took the time in 20 years from now. I am really sentimental. My memory isn’t so great anymore, thus this blog is probably the only way that I will remember the details of our wonderful times exploring together.
So without further delay, our funtastic Clarcona Horse Park story:

So… what exactly is hitek homeless about? Basically, the girlfriend and I have decided to dump our 9-5 corporate jobs, buy an old beater of an RV and travel around North America until the savings get low and we have to get jobs again. Seems like a simple enough plan, eh? Well, there’s a ton of things to do before we can even begin. I feel like both of us have a second job right now trying to organize the venture. We’ll be using this blog to record our thoughts and progress as we go along. Look for the name in parentheses if you wonder which of us is posting at any particular time.
