I’ve had a really busy few weeks since the new year and have been slow at posting lately. But I guess you knew that. 
Wordpress has been upgraded to 2.1, so please let me know if you have trouble with the site. I had to manually fix up the sidebar, since the updates conflicted. Maybe it’s time to pick out a new theme…
I also have been having some trouble lately with Linode, although I’m hesitant to blame it solely on them. My node keeps mysteriously spinning out of control once every two months, and response time has been known to really suck on occasion. I’m thinking of moving to MediaTemple or 1and1. When I get around to it. At any rate, sorry about the recent outage.
I plan on revealing my prediction soon. Watch this space!
