I’ve upgraded the blog software and I am juggling themes and plugins this weekend. If anything acts funny, I’m not surprised.

I’ve gone downstairs to post an update, since the hospital that sells $50,000 open-heart surgeries can’t swing wifi in the rooms, but the bagel shop downstairs that sells $4 sandwiches has an information superhighway on-ramp. Hospitals without web connections in the rooms will be first against the wall when the revolution comes…

I can’t read the blog main page to check comments because someone put a nasty word on it that bounces off of the childproofing filter at the coffee shop. Maybe it was me. Hmm…

Database issue repaired, blog should be working normally now. We return you to your regular programming of brewing reports, baby talk, and pictures of dogs.

Our blog seems to be partially broken. My Blog Maintenance Guy was out last night for church leadership stuff and will be out again tonight. So alas, you will have to wait for the picture of my very cute nieces on the beach with a very large me.

My desktop died yesterday.  Won’t boot past the bios or something computery like that.  And I need to work on our taxes.  All the info’s locked up in Quicken.

We got our replacement modem, and intarweb access is restored. The delirium tremens are easing.

Now I’m downloading a driver for my phone so I can share some of these pictures.

Still waiting for our replacement modem. I paid for this one instead of gtting it on the house and re-upping for a year. I’m reserving the right to kick Earthlink to the curb.

School and work are going along. I was out on an install the last two days, learning a lot.

Me is tired.

I also have a bunch of pics to upload from my phone. i bought a cable for it, but can’t download the driver until we get our new modem. AIEE!

Our modem sputtered, kicked up its heels and died the other night. So we aren’t online right now. Well I am right now, I guess, but I’m at Susan’s house getting her out of bed. Oh - I guess I’m not doing that either, am I? I’m using her internet connection.

As an aside, Tom and I celebrated nine years of marriage yesterday. Woohoo!

Anyone driving to Florida next week and want company? I need a ride.

I chased down a couple hotlinkers today. I’ve been seeing their referrals in my dashboard lately, but hadn’t bothered yet. I left polite comments on their blogs with links to explanations of hotlinking and how to fix it.

I decided that was more civilized (if less amusing) than creating an .htaccess rule redirecting hotlink requests to a photo of my butt.

I’ve been getting about 50-100 comment spams a day, so I’ve enabled Akismet. If anyone has problems commenting, let me know. If anyone feels an overwhelming urge to comment about Viagra, video poker, or hot lusty teens waiting breathlessly for my phone call, I guess you’ll have to tell me in person.
