Today’s Business: 2009-08-18
I spent several hours on the telephone, social networking, where I argued why a disabled person might choose, legitimately, not to work.
Still nursing the cold I picked up at camp. The slight cough remains, though it is getting better; slowly.
Watched NBC Nightly News and several episodes of the Young and the Restless.
Talked with [Emmy]. We’re in the process of selecting a new anti-virus software package for her computer. So far, the top contenders are Avast, AVG, and Nod32.
Mom is still in the hospital from having a toe on her left foot amputated yesterday. Talked with her on the phone this afternoon. Her spirits seem good and she’s looking forward to coming home tomorrow.
Received a letter from [Vee], in which she apologizes for her transgressions when she and I were dating some eight years ago. She claims to have found God and that He has changed her life such that now, she feels that she would treat me much better. She’s asking for my forgiveness. But I’m not buying however. I started over with her a few times between 1997 and 2001, only to be disappointed each and every time I tried.
Upgraded all blogs to WordPress 2.8.4. No problems discovered so far, although the upgrades have overwritten my code modifications that display more posts in the Recent Posts section of each page. The code layout has changed sufficiently enough that I can’t just copy the files I modified back into the installation. I’ll have to figure out where to make these changes in this latest WordPress version, as the routines I modified before have been eliminated.
Weather today: Mostly cloudy, rainy, and humid. High temperatures were in the mid 80s here on the back porch.
