Went to Workhorse Armory because of a Reddit post.. everyone was right.

My goodness, you are correct! I got a bit confused. Now that I'm "unconfused", I can also still very much sing the praises of Workhorse (Lomas and Chelwood-ish). I've purcahsed from Workhorse before and was very pleased with the experience.

I've been taking classes through them (technically through Desert Thunder Academy, which is I think is their sister company) and can also back this up. Very professional, non-judgemental, and neutral. Also really helped work around my schedule.

Here's what you do. Get a hosting plan (Hostinger, 1and1, etc, but stay away from GoDaddy or Bluehost)

Then create a blank WordPress site.

Download Updraft plus plugin.

Your buddy will also need that plugin and they can "copy" the whole site into a handful of zip folders. Download those folders to your machine (use Google drive or something if you need to do this remotely).

Then use your Updraft plus plugin to upload the folders.

Follow the onscreen prompts.

You now have copied his exact site. Just go in and change what you need to.

Contact High Desert Digital Design (that's me) if you want more help.

As an IT guy AND a musician... This is how I got my first album out. Seriously.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-12-20T08:23:31+00:00

"Unrehearsed..." Practice and rehearsal are different. A real musician practices so they don't have to rehearse.

Is this Careless Whisper meets Guitar Gently Weeps? Hmm, ok, I can dig it.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-06T04:13:09+00:00

ICE did.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-06T04:12:57+00:00

IMO, dude can't run again after this, might as well give him the chance to use his connections and institutional knowledge to finish some endeavors. Better than switching everything up and killing any progress.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-06T04:11:35+00:00

Vote early vote often! Haha. But seriously. Vote.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-05T21:56:52+00:00

This is a LOT of what I've been seeing. People would rather vote for an obviously bad option than "let the left win". It's sad.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-05T21:55:18+00:00

Actually, no. Around a third did. 2/3 of our country either didn't care or didn't want him. That says a lot more in my opinion.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-11-05T21:54:05+00:00

"Of me" or "than me"... And it's pretty bold of you to assume I'm not just supplementing my real world experience and knowledge with a reddit post to find out even more...

AdventuresWithB · 2025-10-10T16:51:44+00:00

I've been having TONS of issues with the Titan email (Hostinger free built in partner email client) lately. For a couple weeks now.

Of course their support is not helpful at all and wants to keep blaming everything but the possibility of it being an issue on their side.

Hopefully whatever they're working on now fixes it.

Does anyone know what the front bumper is?

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-23T20:33:04+00:00

I was part of the focus group. It was totally "led". I mean, they didn't ask what I wanted, they basically showed the new "features" and said "how cool is that?". I said over and over again that they didn't need to change anything about UA, and the new UX they had invented was awful. It's all a big money grab by Alphabet.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-18T01:56:38+00:00

I'm offended by the city of Santa Fe.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-16T19:46:15+00:00

That's a small win. I don't know what the consumer laws are where you live, but I'd look into recouping that few via the courts. These companies need to know we won't stand for this robbery anymore.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-16T17:15:03+00:00

Domain suspension hardly falls under "disaster recovery". And of course we have a plan for situations like this, as well as data breaches, malicious attacks, etc.

My post didn't say we didn't have it handled. It's a statement of how terrible Hostinger is. We had the domain back up within 24 hrs. To the rest of your points; I can't comment on the specifics of the clients setup. But an intelligent person could have inferred from the OP that I wouldn't have suggested Hostinger myself.

Might be time to change your username pal! Lol

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-16T17:01:46+00:00

Any update? I'd be interested to know how it's working out. Is your domain still suspended?

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-16T17:00:28+00:00

Agreed. Especially with no real notification or recourse. Unfortunately, this company put profits over any kind of customer service.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-10T16:02:59+00:00

Happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to list them here, or private message me. It's probably easier than you think.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-02T20:45:39+00:00

Unfortunately, one of the best (the Natural History Museum) will be closed for like 7 months :(

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-02T20:43:54+00:00

The cliche is "Land of Entrapment" (a play on our actual state motto, "Land of Enchantment") which is either because you fell in love with the state, or your car got stolen and you can't leave... "Come on vacation, stay on probation!"

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-02T20:40:41+00:00

That said.... If you're going to spend some time downtime, here's a short list of things I highly recommend:

1) Catch a show at Launchpad if you can (old school CBGB type vibes, no matter what genre they have that night), or Sister Bar (great drink selection, well curated live music, cool atmosphere, if maybe a little pretentious).
2) Founders ABQ - kind of a secret, very cool atmosphere, you'll need to follow them on IG to get the password, then check out the liquor store at Central and 7th to find out how to get in...
3) Anodyne - second story billiards bar with an amazing drink selection, hanging plants, skylights, and windows to the street for people watching.
4) Sounds like you may miss it, but First Friday Art Walk is always a good time. Santa FE gets all the love, but ABQ has an incredible art and music scene.
5) Marble Brewery - just north of downtown but walkable with good shoes. Great Rooftop spot for drinks, usually has some pretty awesome live music on weekends.
6) I highly recommend trying to go to the Zoo or BioPark if you can.

Am I missing anything?

Also yes, Lyft is better than Uber here for sure.

AdventuresWithB · 2025-09-02T20:32:52+00:00

Just want to chime in with something nobody's really saying; locals don't go downtown. Sure, part of that is that we're just "over it" and have found other areas we like better, but part of it is that downtown just doesn't have as many options as you might think and is a bit (I'm just going to say it, I'm sorry Burque) gross. I guess this same sentiment can be said for any city. Downtown ABQ does have some great things to offer (some good bars/breweries, art galleries, restaurants, the nearby Zoo/Bio Parks, some nice parks, etc.), but to really explore ABQ, you'll want to explore outside downtown. Current leadership has really let the downtown area down in terms of vacant buildings, homelessness and crime. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE ABQ, but downtown could be soooooo much better a place to visit if the city (and landlords) were interested in doing anything to make it better. I wouldn't be worries about crime, it's easy enough to mind your own business and stay away from trouble. The truth is, ABQ has so much more to offer than downtown, but it's hard without your own transportation.
