Although I love the sleek design of my Gallery theme, I think the necessity of finding two images per post was keeping me from posting as much as I’d like.
I’ve pared it down a bit, but kept a few features I liked best. We’ll see how long it lasts.
I intend to return to the wonderful world of fandom posting soon, but I just wanted to note a few things as we begin the new year.
I start a new job next week. This is HUGE for me, as I am leaving a position that is comfortable both professionally and personally. I can only hope the excitement of the new position will help overshadow any shortcomings that may come socially.
Speaking of socially…WOW! Since we’ve been out three weeks due to scheduled Winter Break and then plenty of snow days, I think it’s not too geeky to say when it snows it pours! There’s finally a little action from the eHarmony end, an open offer on the local end, and I’ve just had a fantastic (friends only) weekend with the promise of more to come (I have Doctor Who Third Doctor DVDs as ransom….mwa ha ha ha). I’d have to say that right now life is good.
Next post–FANDOM LOVE. I promise.

If you’ve visited from JennMiller.com, welcome back!
After a horrible, horrible time dealing with hosting from 1and1.com, the site is working again, albeit with a new host. Because the site was loading so slowly, I decided to switch the domain to a new host, Bluehost. While unlocking the domain, somehow things got twisted and JennMiller.com got slapped with a DNS error that 1and1 stated would clear up on it’s own…as if! Anyway, I emailed 1and1 several times and received such ridiculous responses (one actually said that after a refresh, my site was working again…LIAR) that I finally decided that they can’t understand English at all. I finally got the transfer to go through after losing a week’s worth of accessibility and my Google status. I am going to move all my domains from 1and1 and never look back. I had five good years of hosting with them, but lately, their service, as well as their customer service has been so poor that I’d rather pay a little more and be happy.

Since
Legend of the Seeker was still on winter hiatus last week, I checked out
Demons from the UK. How was it? Eh, um, worse than
Hex. Much. Hey, I just made a HUGE association just there…see it?
Anyway, since I’m still in dire need of entertainment, I’ll be watching again today. Sometimes, I really do worry about myself.
[Edit: I kind of enjoyed Ep. 2!]
I’ve changed themes to one that seems to load faster. I’ve done all the little database tricks, cache manipulation, optimization, etc. Here it is, and here it stays. I can do no more.
