Friday night…

Just got paid…It was so hard not to type that as paaaaeeeed in keeping with the song.

Moving on, it seems that my email account has yet another tiny flaw–in that mail doesn’t get sent! From what you guys are saying, it appears that about 25% of what I send with the webmailer actually gets to you. The account doesn’t provide a “Sent” folder or “Outbox” folder, so when I hit send, I can only assume that it was actually sent. If you haven’t received mail from me, it doesn’t mean I don’t care or that I haven’t been trying. I think the people affected by this are Ben, Todd, Cole, Nadja, Karmen, Lee Anne, Mark, and possibly a few more. I’ll try to limit all writing to my local email program, since it seems to work without a hitch. :clown:

It’s so good to be back

I bet you didn’t even notice, but I had some serious issues with my site recently. I somehow managed to screw up my login password and when I tried to fix it, all hell broke loose. Let’s just say that the solution dealt with SSH directories, phpMyAdmin (on an external database) , and a mess of MySQL stuff that my good friends Trial and Error were able to crack. I’ve missed you all! :snow:

Yumm, Humble Pie

I admit that I never thought I would make the following statement: FireFox rules as a browser. It is, indeed, the latest offering from the Netscape/Mozilla people, but it’s SO.MUCH.MORE. I’ve been testing it for a week now. You download it and immediately notice that you’re browsing much faster than usual. Hey, no pop-ups either! Then you start configuring it with extensions. Oh dear lord, this thing has FTP built in! It’s got Ad-Block! Spell checker? Sure! Download manager that works? No problem. Oh, and don’t forget the themes. Whooo–eeee!

You might ask yourself, “How do I get this marvelous thing?” Lucky for you, I’ve got a FireFox link over at the bottom of the left hand column that will take you exactly where you need to be.
