Rant time.
I know some people are gonna disagree with me and I might make some people angry, but I miss the days when the government regulated the utility industry. Why? you ask. Last months gas bill. It seems they’re allowed to charge more during peak usage periods.
That’s like McDonalds telling you the $0.99 Big Mac you just ordered is now $5.50 because there’s a line at the drive thru.
If this keeps up I’m gonna have to take out a second mortgage on the house just to finance the gas bill. Now I know why my dad was always saying, “Close the door. We’re not heating the whole world.” Which is also why I think we have global warming, too many open doors.
Saw this over at The Shifted Librarian:
Everyone is buzzing about the fact that Yahoo is beta testing the addition of any RSS feed to it’s My Yahoo portal, a move that may signal an inroad to the mainstream. I didn’t want to comment on this until I had a chance to play with it; today I had that chance. Here are some of my observations.
Testing…hmmm…it has possibilities. Now how do we teach the people who use the Yahoo! homepage what an RSS feed is and why they should use it.
Personally I’d very rarely use it. There are plenty of easy programs running in the familiar Office styled interface I’d recommend first. Might have it’s uses for traveling or if you have a linkblog like most of us have now. But it’s very limited at the moment and like the comments over at The Shifted Librarian, you’re limited to 10 articles. Most of the sites I read on a read on a regular basis update much more than that.
Nearly 7 years after beginning his first personal publication online The Phil, formerly of Cultfiction.com notoriety, has returned with his first foray into personal blogification . Not a bad start if I do say so myself.
Nice to get the links again Phil. Missed ya’ man.
It occurs to me I haven’t updated the links in the sidebar in a really long time. There are a few blogs and sites in there that, for one reason or another, I never get to anymore. Mental note: Take care of links file tonight.
I was runing through my feeds this morning when I noticed one that hadn’t been updated in a long time, over a month now, Kevin Sites dot net. Too quiet. Anyone seen him on NBC or any of the other media channels? His last post was on December 8th when he rolled out on a night mission in Tikrit.
Thai Bird Flu Cases Raise Concern

In America we have sheep. You draw your own mental images.
Well it appears my problem I’ve been having posting has been due to the database. Once I optimized the tables I’m able to post no problem. Nice.
I just optimized my database to see if that is having any effect on the problems I’ve been encountering while posting. Lets give it a shot.
I added a new weblog so that I can deal with my new found addiction to Linux. Take a look at Dailything.com: Running Linux. Everything you thought you knew was wrong.
