When I first started this blog, I really wasn’t sure about what I was doing. I still don’t. But as traffic to this website is anywhere from 200% to 400% of what it was a year ago, I’ve found that I need to keep many of my posts more professional because they increasingly represent who I am. Consider this excerpt from one of my very first posts:

Roommates are interesting. I’m not sure how much I trust them yet, which is kind of unusual, because I would like to think of myself as a trusting person. Yet there is something that just doesn’t feel right about one of them, and I just can’t quite ignore that feeling.

I don’t think I can really write such things anymore. I can’t talk trash any more. So along with my other efforts to diversify my blogs by audience, I’ve decided to create a new secret blog somewhere out there on that massively large world wide web, where I can post just about anything I want.

I know some of you will want to try and find my blog. Go ahead, it might be entertaining for you, but more likely it will just waste your time. But to give you a fighting chance, let me tell you about some of the details about the site that really aren’t going to help you find it at all:

• Between pink, blue, and green colors, I chose a theme with lime green and black and white and gray colors.
• I’m using Wordpress software to run the site
• I did not register a domain name for the site (at least not yet). I instead elected to use a subdomain name provided free from an independent web service provider.
• The software runs on the same server that runs most of my other blogs
• I have Google Ads on the site, and I actually hope that I might make money off of people clicking them. Of course, this means that I need people to come to the site, so I’ve made efforts to have the site fully indexed in Google and other blogging search engines.
• I’ve already made three posts to the secret blog in its first day.
• I intend to use code names for myself and in reference to other people

Well, that should be enough hits. If anyone other than Iacov finds it, I will be very impressed. My goal with secrecy is that I want many random Internetizens to find it randomly, but have no one I know actually ever come across it.

Just after I sent my letter to University Villa, they put notices up on all of our doors saying that they were not held responsible for any damages or losses. This really upset me, especially since it says clearly in at least two places in the contract that they are responsible if the damages or losses are due to negligence.

So I took my letter and all correspondence to the BYU Off-campus Housing Office. They told me they would make some calls to the University Villa management, and suggested I take things to the BYU Center for Conflict Resolution. At the CCR I was given instructions on how to do mediation with the landlord to come to some sort of agreement over things. I won’t rediscuss the issues and my arguments here because they are in some of my other blog entries.

Within a couple days after this, things started to happen. The office finally did place office hours in its window, although my one attempt to find them in the office during their hours resulted in finding the office locked.

Most recently, however, I found out from another resident that they will be offering $40 to each resident that moved. The management hasn’t yet made it official, because they want to come around a talk to residents, or so the rumor goes.
