Way Behind the Curve
Been a long few weeks. Sorry for the lack of updates. A couple of thoughts on the site:
— Three weeks, nine hundred comments. All but one spam. Sheesh.
— Interestingly, all those comments appeared despite the commenting still being messed up. (Basically, when you submit a comment, it goes into the system — but the site times out before it tells you so, leading folks to hit the “back” button and try again. Sometimes even three or four times.) That suggests a(nother) breach in the anti-spam. Perhaps the MT4 upgrade, despite my misgivings, is a better idea than trying to switch.
I’m enough behind that I don’t want to speculate when the sites — all of them — be fixed/finished. Soon, hopefully.
Meanwhile, on the personal front:
— The mortgage crisis is just that: a crisis. While my credit has been steadily improving since leaving Florida, it’s still not optimal — and I got swept into the mess. My ready-to-go mortgage suddenly wasn’t, and I’ve been scrambling to deal with getting financing in a very tough market. Yuk.
— Car shopping also falls into the “yuk” category. With one exception, all of the local new and used dealers make me cringe, and that one hasn’t had what I’m looking for. So, going to try a different approach. Will report back how that turns out.
Photography is going well — the 85mm’s replacement rocks hard — and I have several different book design projects going (with quite a little stack queued). Hence the doubt about when the back end for the site will be finished. Again.
Probably my worst failing: too many threads. Not enough time.
