Thank you New York Giants! It's as good as you can get to the Steelers winning SB XL :)

Even though brocolli is good for you, it's not for me.

Attention Retailers:

It is not Christmas.

It is not Thanksgiving.

It's barely Halloween.

So stop playing farking Christmas music in your stores in OCTOBER!

Hope everyone is having a good Fourth. We sure are!

A note to everyone doing web forms that do email address validitiy checks: Having a '+' in the username is VALID. For example bma+spam@thunderkeys.net is a validly formed email address. Don't make me hate you by having your web form tell me otherwise.

Or better yet, just use the Email::Valid perl module.

I tweaked the picture gallery stuff a bit today to base it off of Stephen's version of my gallery code, which doesn't use a database backend. Should make doing new updates a little easier :) All of the old links should still work, but let me know if you run into any problems.

Finally, we get some real, honest-to-god snow. It started out as a 'wintery mix' but now it's just pure big-flake goodness, great for packing too. Weatherman was saying earlier we could get 3-6" before it's said and done...

I took a few pictures already.

I've cut over to a new server today. Everything seems to be working, but let me know if you discover any issues with the site.

And what better way to start it off with some delicious Indian food that I haven't had in months. We took a gamble that the food would still be hot after the 35 minute journey from Centreville to our house. Absence does indeed make the heart (and belly) grow fonder.
