View From the Bushes

I felt pretty good about yesterday's entry. The entire thing was cohesive, it flowed well and there was even a little punchline at the end. Bearing my feelings out to a certain extent, it also got a fair number of comments, so of course this leaves me in an ackward position today, because how do you follow something like that? In the past my policy has been that when I hit my high point to retire, but I don't think that's the answer and I don't actually think that yesterday was the high water mark either (speaking of which, have you heard that Rita has already breached the New Orleans levees?) So the weary trudge continues.

I have had some complaints by people getting the blog via the e-mail distribution list, that they miss being able to post in the comments section, so I'm trying something out. Apparently websense does not consider www.direkobold.com to be the same as blog.direkobold.com, so whereas the first is filtered, the second is not. So I went ahead and added blog.direkobold.com as an alias for www.direkobold.com and tried it out. I made it past websense, and was able to read the blog just fine, but the automatically generated comment links still point to www.direkobold.com, so I still haven't quite solved the problem, but I'm getting closer. I just need to track down where in the blog configuration the URL is coded. I've already changed it in the obvious places.

I actually have a huge rant on the DDT ban I've been preparing and a great story about a stinky co-worker, but both of those will have to wait until next week, because I'm out of time. For now I leave you with a link to a graph of all the projected paths of Rita based on the 14 different models they used. Cool stuff.

Ready for the weekend
