Blar

Lots and lots of server difficulties today. None of it should have been too apparent, other than the lack of new stuff (it has to do with the mySQL server). But dynamically generated sites -- like the next version of this one -- were apparently screwed. Wouldn't it be nice if things just worked?

In response to another annoyance, I had to put my No Soliciting sign back out on the door today. I have all the respect in the world for precinct walkers, because elections are won out in the trenches. But even when the good guys (Republican walkers) come by ringing the damn doorbell and riling up the dog after a LONG day at work followed by a really intense workout, it's annoying.

So the sign I put on the door reads:

NO SOLICITING [in very huge print]

No Direct Sales
No Political Campaigns
No Religious Proselytizing [all in smaller print]

IF YOU ARE SELLING SOMETHING, GO AWAY! [in medium print]

So I'm grouchy. It's a cold (in Houston! the horror) rainy Monday, and I'm entitled.
