Apparently I tempted the blog gods and spoke to soon when I declared all was well here at the screaming pages last night.  I woke up this morning to discover that one of my 3 subdomains was no longer functioning properly.  Of course, the broken one WOULD be the one that directs my 4 loyal readers to my blog *sigh* Perhaps the gawds are trying to tell me something this week?

In the meantime, you’ll want to update your links or RSS readers to http://valianthosting.ca/clients/daemon instead of http://blog.daemon-ink.net.

I’m in the process of upgrading my version of WordPress so you may see some slight wonkiness with past posts and comments for a little while. Should be fixed soon.

UPPERDATE: I think I’ve gotten most of the kinks worked out.  At minimum, the categories are all sorted out and the posts are all set to appear again.

If you’ve put on your reading glasses (or taken off the blindfold) you’ll notice we’re dressed a little differently around here today. No. It’s not a result of the shock I’m still reeling from – my old friend Amy‘s recent admission to knitting a cunning hat and NOT sending it to me *sniff* – I’ve been planning this for a while and, of course, enlisted the shiney make it pretty skills of Luna from over at LunaStone Designs. The grand plan is that I’ll rotate back and forth between my old look and this new one based on how cranky I am on any particular day.

Like my recent blogroll cleanup it’s time to clean out the plug-in closet. After all, when you’re trying on a new outfit it only takes a few extra minutes in front of the mirror to check out the fit of a few new plug-ins. There were many losers but the one that will likely be sticking around for a while is pageear. Not only did Darcey introduce me to pageear he also happily handed over two if his graphics so I could also advertize a few good causes. Unlike Darcey I lazily used the plug-in option instead of the manual code so I don’t have the option to automatically rotate the graphics and links when you change pages. Instead, I’ll just randomly rotate the charities/fundraisers as I see fit.

For the time being I’d like to call your attention to the Royal Canadian Legion’s Troop Morale Fund.

Now that I’ve spent all this time dressing up my blog can you guess what I was supposed to be doing today? In a few hours we’ll be heading off into the great white west for an awesome mini-break in Jasper. This is the first time I’ve been to Jasper without the RV and dogs and I’m looking forward to days of leisure. As always, I have reading and assigments due for classes (this week the psych class) by midnight Friday. Perhaps I’ll even finish early this week.

UPDATE: The pageear plug-in works beautifully when the old design is loaded but I’m still working out how to get it to function properly with the new design…

UPPERDATE: I’ve worked out special arrangements with Amy. I’ll soon be the owner of a cunning hat. Shiny!

Getting some funky database errors today so just running a posting test…

In true procrastinator’s fashion, I’m taking a page from Joy‘s book and cleaned up some of my blog links and blogroll today. The most important thing I learned this week is that you should never whine about being removed from a fellow bloggers blogroll when they’re doing a clean-up if you don’t have them on your own list. EEP!

With the cleanup go out all the links I don’t pay any attention to anymore and blogs that don’t exist anymore. In come ones that I should have had on my blogroll years ago – like Joy, Susan, and Amy. There are a few that haven’t been updated in a while that I’ve kept around in the hopes that they’ll start back up soon. It seems to have worked for everyone else when it comes to my blog 😉

I still have a long way to go. I’m missing a tonne of my favourite writers.

So for all those visitors/readers who aren’t in my blogroll now’s the time for you to leave a comment and campaign for addition to my daily reading list.

And for those tracking the silliness that is my return to university I’m providing the following status update: History = 20% complete. Psych(o) = ummm, yeah… I’m getting to it… eventually. Due: Monday, midnight ET.
