05:05 AM: I’m up.
06:50 AM: Posted the Keeping It Together Til I Go piece.
07:00 AM: Finished transcribing audio journal episodes: AJE-2002-01-05-02-20 and AJE-2002-01-05-12-39. All content from these episodes has been posted on the blogs now.
11:30 AM: Resolved the ICANN Record Updating: 2009-12-06 problem for the WPSBC Alumni Association’s web site.
12:00 PM: Worked the WPSBC Alumni Web Site Error: 2010-01-28 issue. It’s been resolved.
12:30 PM: The technician completed our switch from Verizon to Atlantic Broadband phone service. So far, so good. The new system sounds as good as Verizon, it’s a lot cheaper, and we get more calling features for free. A few things are missing, like the return call (*66) feature. Nor is there a separate access number for the voice mail. So people will no longer be able to leave me messages “through the back door”. But these small sacrifices are more than offset by the free three-way calling, call forwarding, and automatic callback (*69). Nice. Perhaps I’ll write more in a separate article once I’ve used the new service for a month or two and gotten very familiar with it.
05:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless from the DVR.
08:30 PM: Watched the 2009-12-08 through 2009-12-12 episodes of NBC’s Nightly News show on the DVR.
09:45 PM: Listened to the last period and a half of the Penguins game with [Emmy] on the IRIS Internet WebRadio. Unfortunately, they lost.
10:05 PM: Heading to bed early tonight. I guess that with all the excitement of getting new phone lines today along with all the monty we’ll save, really zonked me. 
So, have a great night. Keep warm, because currently we have 17 degrees on my east porch, and that’s sure colder than merely chilly. Later.
