Well, my host hopes to have finally resolved the problems that have been plaguing the shared sever that my site resides on. It took a rebuild of the entire server to do it.... in the middle of the week (not so happy about that), but things should be smooth sailing from this point forward. I doubt it though. Technology will rear it's ugly head again, no doubt ;).

UPDATE:

Meh, jokes on me. Site went down today as soon as my blog entry got picked up by fullasagoog. Figures ;).

Why does the passing lane patroler exist?

Why, oh why does that guy/gal in the passing lane believe it his right, no.. his duty to determine the speed of travel for the interstate? You have four-five lanes to choose from, but your express lane evangelical butt is glued in that left hand lane, isn't it?

The fact traffic is clear for a mile in front of you should be the first clue to move into another lane. The fact that the majority of traffic is also passing you on the right hand side should be the second. And for those that feel that doing this is justification to "save lives" should take into account that having to pass on the right might prove more dangerous than if the speeder du jour had just been left in peace in that left hand lane to begin with.

Think about it, most of the other slower moving traffic is going to be in those right hand lanes. Forcing someone to go around in those lanes is just begging for a mishap.

So ends the rant for the day...

So... is adsense bad?

I've decided to put an adsense pod on the site. Please don't misinterprate my intentions! If not a single person clicks an ad, no skin off my nose. If, however, I mange to break the 100 dollar mark, the family is going to Chuckee Cheese! Seriously, it gives me a break given that it's winter time in a REALLY small house ;). So, don't click if you don't want. I'm not trying to make a living off of these ads, but opinions are welcome.
