In this particular case, I was apparently pushing my bandwidth limits.
Not sure what I've been writing about that would be so interesting lately, but, well, my bandwidth limit got exceeded last night about 2:00AM, or so. My apologies to anyone who was trying to get to my blog between 2:00AM and now. Firstly, I'm sorry you were reading my blog at 2:00AM. Secondly, the warning messages arrived after I had gone to bed last night, otherwise I would have done something about it sooner.
Obviously, since you're reading this, it's been corrected.

Better questions.

Novell has failed me.
I cannot believe that I am writing this, but I actually advised against continuing with a Novell product in favor of a Microsoft product this week. I would be more ashamed of myself if not for the terrible problems I had with Novell's Open Enterprise Server from the install all the way through an attempt at migration. Everything that could possibly go wrong, did.

Today is Fannie Farmer's birthday.
Name doesn't ring a bell? Yeah, when I got the e-mail from Writer's Almanac, I didn't know who she was either. She's the first cookbook writer. Ever.
I wonder if she knew she was spawning a multi-billion dollar publishing trend when she did that? I wonder what one of us is going to do that's interesting and innovative that will change the world, too. So, what do you have planned for today?

Actually, an old friend from college.

So, I've started a class on Kierkegaard at church.
Honestly, I had no idea that he was a Christian philosopher at all. I mean, I knew of him, but only as a complicated Danish philospher that is hard to understand and harder to read. Naturally, I was instantly interested in the free class at Mercy Street. I missed the first night, but my friend J. who got me to go to Mercy Street in the first place convinced me to hit the second class. Oh, boy, was it worth it!

Or, it takes a thief to catch a thief.

Only the strong survive in my yard.
No, really, the entire past year has not been neglect at all, but an experiment in Darwinian garden theory. Well, okay, maybe not, but, it is true that only the strong plants make it through in my yard. The past week or so I've spent a lot of time in the yard doing all sorts of things.

And, The Choice by Og Mandino, actually.
