"...many web users will forgive defects of content, design, and usability if they feel there is a live presence behind your site." Okay, Mr. Zeldman, good advice. Stop slacking and start blogging.
This was a very productive weekend, except for the blogging thing. Friday I took a personal day to try and start unpacking the boxes that still remain in our living room 3 months later. I got quite a bit done. And then yesterday, I even got some decorating done. Can you believe it! 3 more months, and maybe we'll be done!
One sad note from this weekend: Jacob has succumbed to the same allergies that keep Stan, Kirsten and I sneezing 180 days a year. The poor guy was miserable this weekend between that and teething pain. He wants to be happy. You can pick him up, he'll look at you and smile really big, and then he remembers he's in pain. I called the doc this morning, and he said to try Dimetapp. So, wish us luck!
Kirsten continues to amaze me. She likes to help me fold the laundry. I've always had to go back after she went to bed and re-fold whatever she did. But last night, when I went to start re-folding, I noticed that she had done a great job! I mean, it wasn't perfect, she is 3 years old. But it was certainly good enough to leave.
So recently, as I watch the news, I see a sort of spin that makes it look like the entire country is swept up in some incredibly patriotic support of our President and his war efforts. But I don't have those feelings. And since the news makes it sound like everyone else does, I feel like some unpatriotic traitor to a country that I love very much. So it was really nice to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thanks to Jim Roepke of have browser, will travel for a link to this great quote we should all take seriously.
Last, but definitely not least, look out in the next few days as we're switching hosting providers. We haven't been able to test our asp pages on the new server, it's Linux running ChiliSoft. So, if we notice problems, we'll get right on them. Hopefully the change will be seamless. If not, we apologize in advance. Those of you with stanna.net email addresses, we'll keep you informed of any changes.
