I wondered why my e-mail was a little thin lately. It appears my e-mail server is down. My host sent me several announcements already—one at 4:00 this morning, at 8:00, another at around noon, and still another at 2:00 this afternoon—each one of them saying that the e-mail is back up again and that my data has been restored (ack!), though I still have trouble accessing the new mail. I can’t tell yet if it’s the e-mail server at my…
If you haven’t already noticed, I gave up on Movable Type. Apparently, the databases got corrupted when I upgraded, so a lot of the comments were forever lost. I imported the first 300 posts of my journal from an old Greymatter export, so all the old entries and comments from before my migration to MT are intact.

Bull. I’d rather win. The only problem is that it’s a popularity contest, and I usually don’t win that sort of thing. I came in 17th last year. Read my lips. 17th! And I was tied with someone else or two. How pathetic. So, hey. If you love me, please vote for me! Here’s the main page. And I show up here (at least three times in the list) and here. Even if I only make the top ten, I’ll…
