* Still spending a good deal of time with the new TV. Watching the playoffs, mostly. One point of annoyance we have found, is that the brand name of the TV is so recent, that nobody’s got remote programming codes for it yet; this results in my having to use at least two remotes at all times, if not three. I suppose in another month or two they’ll have the programming code, and I won’t have to worry about it so much. But it is a pain.
* I see Memeorandum finally noticed we moved, linking to my commentary on Carlson. A nice step forward. We’re actually going up in the hitrates on a daily basis… I’m pleased with the progress we’ve been making.
* Considering taking on another contributor here at BitsBlog. Adding DavidL and Fersboo as writers was one of the smartest things I have done since starting this blog. I told them both that they were not under any obligation in terms of volume of posting, nor of opinion, other than in the most general of senses. That’s proven to be a wise decision. As a friend of mine once said, “if you’ve got a good horse give him his head, he’ll get you where you’re going”. If you’re interested in joining our efforts, here, let me know, and drop a link to [email protected] some of your writings.
*I’m watching with a somewhat jaundiced eye the weather front that’s moving up of the Midwest. We didn’t do much today, mostly because of the spec could weather. We did manage to go shopping, and found out that everybody else in the neighborhood was responding to the reports of the oncoming storm; candles, batteries, canned food, Milk and toilet paper were in short supply.
We’re pretty well prepared, already. The biggest problem that we would have around here would be a lack of power. But as it happens, I have a 110 volt supply, which will run directly from the truck. That will keep us going for several hours. Of course, the Internet will be out, and so will the TV, but not a big deal.
