I read an interesting article on Slashdot this evening which makes me a) thankful I never aspired to get involved in the game programming industry and b) likely to boycott purchasing any "big name company" games from now on. (By boycott, of course, I mean pirate.)

I'm experimenting with a non-frames based page, so there may be some weird stuff happening for a bit. (Like links not working.)

According to the Powers That Be, uvtek.net will move on November 20th. At that time the site will probably "go down" for a few days while I move the files.

I am wondering if our fax machine is broken, because I faxed the appropriate papers to the new Internet provider twice yesterday but the status on their web page still says "awaiting faxed papers." I recall now that Cynthia mentioned she had problems faxing out resumes a while back, too. I suppose it's reasonable to expect that, after 10+ years, a fax machine might develop some problems.

I sent in the request to move uvtek.net this morning, but so far it's still here. Hopefully it will move soon.

I'm in the process of updating the code that runs my blog, so it may or may not work for a while.

We finished watching Kingdom Hospital on DVD tonight. Overall it was pretty good but I think the 14 episodes could have easily been shrunk down to 4 or 5. I guess they were hoping for an X-Files type of series where half the episodes don't have anything to do with the basic story arc.

No, I haven't yet found a look I'm happy with, and I vow to continue changing everything around until I like it again, or until I get sick of it completely.

We had the niece and nephew over again this weekend. We went to Pocahontas Park to canoe yesterday. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the canoe rentals were shut down for the season. So we watched the niece and nephew do some fishing.

I've been working toward making the "look and feel" of my Blog application more customizable. This is because I get sick of looking at it from time to time but it's a pain to change it. However, I'm now implementing what I call "styles" (because I refuse to call it by the more popular term "skins" because I think that's goofy) which should allow me to easily change the color schemes and fonts from time to time.

Again, I don't normally get into politics, so I apologize for this diversion. (Warning: Obscure reference ahead.) Most of the time you can find me working diligently for the Voter Apathy Party. ("Now here's a party I can get excited about. Sign me up!")

Something that's been on my web page "todo" list for ages is spiffing up the article title bars. Tonight the dream has become reality. They are, in fact, spiffier.
