Victor Laxman: You never know what kind of damage a telescope can cause



Ah, URU continues as always, the above quote came from Laxman, a tribute/warning of sorts to Riven.

Anyway, lots of stuff going on.  I spent all day working on the website.  A new version of Joomla (Sunfire) was released, so I got to do my first live update.  The directions didn't work, so I did it my own way.  Which is fine, it just makes me nervous for when v. 1.5 is released (this was just a security update).  I also did some other work around the site, and then suddenly, I was getting 403 (forbidden) errors from every singe page.  I still don't know what set it off, but I contacted tech support and they rolled it back a day (although mysteriously some of my updates were still there).  I fixed the rest and decided to call it a night (besides this entry).  The basic framework is there for my book reviews, but there is still an error with how the scores are calculated I'm trying to work out with the developer, so we'll see.

Let's see, Christmas was good, had a good time with family and friends, watched lots of movies, had good food (still eating said food in the form of sandwiches) and all kinds of fun stuff.  I got a rice cooker, which means sushi!

Lots of work with the wedding invitations, and my hands cramp up a lot, but they look pretty good if I do say so myself, so work continues on them.

This was posted on a friend's blog, and I agree with her, this is going to be very, very bad for me and my bank account…but I'm excited, and hope to see one around here soon!

The Washington Post has released it's Idiot of the Year Awards, and this year the winner is Laura Mallory of Georgia.  Ms. Mallory is the woman who has been suing the Georgia public schools to remove the Harry Potter books from the libraries.  Hey, even if some people don't like the story or whatnot, if it gets people to read, then it's a good thing (just like the Da Vinci Code).  And more importantly, they really don't encourage "black magic" "devil worship" or any of the other things claimed by Ms. Mallory, just like the Da Vinci Code isn't really trying to take down the modern Church.

I (and a few others) have been talking about how wonderful llamas are for a long time, and now, we have even more scientific proof: Llamas, now with anti-terrorism capabilities!

I think that's it for now, have a great one everybody, and I'll catch up with you again soon!
