I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 and encountered unxpected problems with the usual theme. Please pardon the mess while I get things back to normal again.
Due to work and other commitments, I’ve fallen of the blog wagon for a while. Expect new content soon.
Comments are broken at the moment. Due to the day job, repairs are on the back burner until the weekend.
Update (5/28): Comments have miraculously appeared again!
I had to do a drive restore on the main computer. No posting, but a lot of swearing.
And no, I’m not buying a Mac.
The full-time job and a long bout with the flu kept me AFK for a while.
While I’m getting back into the swing of things, I thought I’d let you know of the latest combo meal from KFC (hat tip: SnoopyTheGoon):
And while we’re on the topic of Hillary, be sure to visit StopHerNow.com early and often!
My apologies for not posting recently, as other front-burner items (resulting in the burning of midnight oil) have been taking place. Also, the DSL line hasn’t been nice to me lately as far as uploads and updates are concerned. A switch back to cable-based internet (which I regret not transferring when I moved to the current residence a year ago) should also help.
I hope to be back in full swing by tomorrow afternoon.
Update: The switch back to cable modem is delayed, but we’ll continue to keep pressing on as best as we can.
Recently, I received comments and e-mails concerning the way my opinions are expressed here.
Rather than go into a exhaustive post about how I feel about those concerns, I shall direct my critics to the Editorial Policy for this blog.
Have a nice day.
I had planned to resume blogging upon returning home from a short Labor Day weekend vacation; unfortunately, I did not count on the air conditioning system at home going kaput.
Being that I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, and given the very high temperatures (as well as high humidity), I had to take up temporary residence at a friend’s house until the AC gets repaired.
Luckily, I will not have to conjure up thousands of dollars, as the home warranty plan is paying for the repairs (minus a nominal fee on my part). Hopefully, I can come home to air-conditioned comfort this weekend. If not, I’ll work on getting access to a wireless connection somewhere.
Thanks for your continuous patience and patronage!

The bad news: The trusty desktop PC is dead. My critics and haters can now perform the Mypos Dance of Joy!
The good news: I’m pleased to disappoint the above. I ordered a replacement desktop, it should be online in a couple of weeks. For the time being, I’ll be clicking away on the laptop as spare time permits.
On another note, does anybody know of a decent posting tool for WordPress? The WYSIWYGiness of the WP text editor is really wiggin’ me out…
Posting will be light until I get the motherboard replaced on the primary computer and/or I get blogging tools set up on the laptop. I’ll keep you posted.
A while ago, I mentioned that I was getting a professional redesign of the blog’s template. Well, here it is.
I plan to take care of link cleanup and add additional items this weekend.
Special thanks goes out to Lisa Sabin and the very talented team at e.Webscapes for their efforts. All I had to do was tell them what I wanted, and they delivered. If you have a blog, or want to start a new one, they are highly recommended, and offer a variety of design and hosting packages.
I like the new blog design and I hope you will too.
As you can see, I created a SNAFU while tinkering with the WordPress engine. I hope to have the kinks worked out soon.
Update: WordPress backend cleanup complete, and a full upgrade to WP 2.0 is around the corner. I promise no further style changes until the E.Webscapes makeover is complete.
I was offline for a while due to the compounding stress of work, buying a home, and selling the old condo.
As of the day before Thanksgiving, I closed escrow on a 2-story townhome in northwest Las Vegas. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve engaged in the off-and-on rituals of upgrading the amenities and fighting with a local furniture store to get the house furnished with first-quality items. So far, I’m managing to settle in quite well in a more comfortable and friendlier neighborhood.
With a new home for myself comes the time to fix up the web home as well. I’ve commissioned E.Webscapes to give the weblog a complete makeover with some new features. The new design should be ready by early-to-mid-January.
Barring work schedule demands, blogging resumes in earnest.
