10:00 AM: I’m up.
10:15 AM: Facebooked a while this morning. Friend count is now 231. My official Facebook page I created Friday has 22 fans so far.
11:20 AM: Recorded audio journal episode AJE-2010-06-27-10-50.
12:00 AM: [Emmy] called to say that she just left for the train here.
12:55 PM: Blocked certain advertisement types from displaying on my sites. The hope is that this will cause more relevant ads to run when people view my pages, and so, entice them more to click them to see what they’re about. 
I don’t see any way to control what ads display in a particular ad unit however. So the changes I’ve made will affect all my blogs. I would have preferred to be able to regulate on a per-blog basis which ads appear. But I can live with this.
01:30 PM: Tidied up the kitchen and made a batch of Jello with cream cheese with a little half & half. Dismayed I was however to find that freezing cream cheese alters its texture and color significantly. The frozen-then-thawed stuff is very clumpy (like fetta cheese), does not spread as easily, and it’s more yellow in color (less white). It still tastes great and once it completely melts in the Jello, the difference will not be noticable I predict. But still, the frozen stuff would not work on bagels very well. So I think I’ll avoid freezing it as a general rule.
03:00 PM: Red up the bedroom and made the bed, in preps for [Emmy's] visit later today. 89.5 degrees outside the window here and I’m starting to feel the heat now here in the office.
03:15 PM: Leaving now to pick up [Emmy]. Back later.
04:30 PM: Several family members were pool-side at sister Christine’s. So we had nephew Garrett drive us there, where we enjoyed some potato chips, cool water, and nice company.
05:45 PM: We’re home now.
07:45 PM: Nap time.
08:45 PM: I’m awake again. We ate some of the cream cheese Jello I made earlier. Well, its texture is definitely different when you use frozen-then-thawed creeam cheese. It isn’t bad really; just different.
09:30 PM: Facebooked a while and filled them in on Mom’s status. She’s doing well; though they don’t know what’s wrong still, even after the tests they ran on Saturday. But they did recommend physical therapy. Hopefully, that will strengthen her heart enough that she can walk at least short distances without becoming winded.
11:00 PM: Listened to Internet radio on my iPod Touch. Since I moved my WAP (WiFi Access Point) into the attic in order to gain better WiFicoverage at the pavilion, I’m concerned that it’s exposed to too much heat. It really gets hot in there; even with the exhaust fan running full-tilt; especially on 90-degree days like today. Nonetheless, I experienced no problems with the WAP, as it has a built-in fan to help keep it cool. Perhaps I’m worrying for nothing however, because the WAP has resided in the attic now for a few months, and it’s still going strong. Next time I have to buy one, I’ll get a WAP that’s designed for outdoor use and mount it outside. That’ll keep it cool.
12:30 AM: Just got a Twitter account. Check me out and say hello at http://twitter.com/Tom_Hesley/
01:00 AM: Well, I’m leaving for tonight and heading for bed. So take care and I’ll write again tomorrow. Good night.
