Blog roundup

Some things I noticed this morning in my blog reading:

I’m not the only one having trouble with hotels. Jenny is dealing with a hotel that promised her high speed internet access, but doesn’t really have it. How do you get that wrong? You either have it or you don’t.

On the good news front, Erik and his wife are expecting their first two children! Just remember Erik, with twins there’s twice as many diapers, twice as many 2AM feedings, and you and your wife don’t outnumber them. But I’m still happy for ya’! 🙂 (There’s also twice as many smiles, twice as many first steps and, I assume, twice as many online pics…)

On a lighter election note, Doc pointed out that Tara Sue Grubb, the now-infamous “blogging candidate” was closing in on 10% of the vote, which is respectable. I say, big deal. Here in the wonderful state of Ohio, Jim Traficant got 15% of the vote (scroll down to the district 17 results), and he’s in jail!! I’m so proud to live in Ohio right now, let me tell you…

BTW, the liberal leaning folks in my blogroll who are so depressed about what happened last night, and are now convinced that the Republican party is going to ruin, in order, the economy, the environment, world peace (like that was going so well before yesterday?), the Bill of Rights (except for the gun stuff), abortion rights, social security (see world peace..), medicare, welfare, education (also, see world peace..), racial harmony, etc., etc. need to get a grip. Life goes on, as it always does, no matter what party is in power.

On a tech update note, after much effort and testing and retesting, all of the static pages of this site now validate 100%. The blogger page doesn’t, because of the blogger tags and the way the blogger publishing engine generates the pages. I can’t really do anything about that. It’s close enough for government work, as they say. I still need to do all of that photo scanning, I’ve been putting it off because it takes so much time!

    I feel a little dirty

    After years, and years of making my living supporting, and working with, Windows PC’s I ordered a Macbook Pro to replace my aging laptop this weekend. There’s no hope for me now, is there? I’m doomed to be a fanboy and have a Steve Jobs crush, aren’t I? 😉 OK seriously, one of the first…

  • Comments spam

    I guess the new addition of the TableEditor turned out to be a double-edged sword last night. Yes, someone did leave a comment that was nothing more than “come visit my blog” with a link, and yes I did delete it. Unfortunately, I also left a comment by Anita that referred to said spam comment,…

  • Blogrolling

    Looks like, finally, blogrolling’s service is back to normal. If you’ve been following along since Friday you know that not only was it not working very well in numerous ways, but there were no updates. (Hence the reason I said nothing about it here. There was nothing to report!) This is an update/apology, which is…

  • Suggestions

    Back to a previous topic, I am seriously giving thought to doing something different with the photo albums. Does anyone have any suggestions for some photo album software that would be compatible with a Windows hosting environment? It can’t be based on MySQL, perhaps something is ASP using Access or PHP without using a database?…

  • When change is wrong

    Interesting column by Chad Dickerson discussing some of the same things we discussed around here in the last week or so. For example: “One lesson I relearned is that IT is not necessarily about being “right” or even offering the best solution. Quite often, IT is about providing a reliable and mostly invisible service to…

  • Zooropa

    Angela put up an album of pics from our Columbus Zoo trip this weekend. I have a follow up question to the daylight savings thing. Why do they then air the NCAA Men’s Championship game so late on a Monday night right after we’ve switched to DST? I realize that to those of you on…
