Site news updates and other useless garbage
A Brief Respite
I apologize but posting will be non-existent for a few days. My father passed away today at st. Josephs hospital.
Theme Updates
You may have noticed earlier today that the site was wonky for a short time. I just upgraded to the latest version of Hybrid News. The featured posts slider is now working properly with my commenting system again (woo hoo!). Other than that everything should be business as usual.
WordPress 3.0
I just succesfully updated to WordPress 3.0 as well as updated about 15 plugins I’ve been putting off updating. If anything weird happens shoot me a message and I’ll take a look at it.
Work Work Work
There will most likely be no posts today. I have to work until 9pm tonight so unless I get a 3rd wind or something I’ll post tomorrow which is my only day off this week.

Disqus Commenting System

Sort of an Explanation
I may or may not have some content posted later this evening. It’s not like me to go quite this long without posting anything so I figured I would let everyone know why. I started back to work on Friday after a nice, albeit too short, vacation. I came down with a pretty bad cold [...]
Vacation Time
As of tomorrow evening I am on a much-needed vacation for a week. I’ll be heading to Savannah on Friday morning so posting may be light or pretty much non-existent until Monday. I will be responding to comments and emails, but at a pretty darned slow pace and I might be drunk when I do [...]
Content Imports
Prior to going on vacation I wanted to import some more of my old content. I’ve gotten a couple hundred more posts up, which brings me back to August of this past year I think. Eventually I’ll have the rest of the stuff back online. Most of this is old news now but quite a [...]
