"Oh goddess, please make me the kind of person my dog thinks I am."

The "Bushism" Of The Day

It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America.

The wonders of technology….

Since I started using Pandora Internet Radio, I’ve hit Amazon a few times to check availability of cds, etc.  Today I see that the ads showing in the Amazon section when I’ve got the player running are ads which actually pertain to “my sort” of music.

Now is this a good thing?  Or not?  I guess it’s all of a piece with the rest of the “no privacy left without mega-intervention” situation….

There are certain pieces of music

which are guaranteed to make me cry.  Period.  No stopping for second thoughts, or reasons why.

Chariots of Fire by Vangelis…. Colors of the Wind by Vanessa Williams….  Simple Gifts by anyone in the world….

Makes it hard to listen to music sometimes….

I certainly hope things have settled down now -

After a partial server/provider move that turned out “wrong” for so very many reasons, I thought we’d just have to stay with Below10, even though they’ve done some seriously wonky stuff in the last few months - stuff that prevented most of the php scripts we use on a daily basis from working.

Then I ran across Network Redux who provide more space/bandwidth, and the same cPanel I’m familiar with for years now (which Mosso did not, having their own proprietary one - and which would not have made our clients happy, being functionality-limited and practically stats-program-less!)  NR migrated our whole reseller setup (into separate accounts, mine and my daughter/business partner’s, instead of having them munged as we’d had before) in about 2 hours total - and sorted out the minor confusions we had due to different ways of handling support etc.

So things are back in working order, and were “out of order” for such a short time no one even noticed.  I still rather resent that Below10 forced this move, but then again, without change life would be no fun, ain’t?
