Plodding along...

Well, I continue to add new SlicePuzzles every now and again as there are several people who seem to be getting a regular kick out of them. Jason, you were wondering where I was going with it? I'm not quite sure to be honest.

I've been spending much more time with the little one and the Wella lately. Of course, this is a very good thing but it does take a bite out of time spent in the virtual world. So to offset the feeling of worthlessness, I've been doing quite a bit more reading lately. I've been reading a few books concurrently and am trying to make it more of a habit.

I just finished off my part of the formal debate in the Asylum about the existence of God. I put quite a lot of effort into my first two responses and I hope they can be found useful by those who may come across them in the future. It feels good to be done with it and I am looking forward to sitting on the sidelines for the next debate and see how others do.

There is another very pressing thing going on in the world these days and that would be our struggle against terror. One of the threads in the Asylum is about whether or not to attack Iraq. I have so far stayed out to see where people stand and I'm just about ready to jump in because I don't think I can stand it anymore. With a few exceptions, it seems like the opinions ping pong between those who are unwilling to lift a finger to do anything in this world and those who just want to "kick ass". Why do the extremes have to be so popular? I respect opinions based on solid reasoning and have been well thought out because people who do that usually have a love of truth. Why can't more people take the time to examine the facts and make more informed decisions? Because it's time consuming, difficult, and requires *judgement* and *discernment* between right and wrong. The latter, is not only considered taboo, but very few seem to know how to do it even if they wanted to. ~sigh~

I am *not* saying I have all the right answers but I am saying that it is my express desire to find as many as I can before dropping off the twig.

Ok, rant done, move on, nothing to see here folks :-)

hey, you snuck a couple in on me when you made Kianna's 10mo stay up top. Oops.

Connexity, yeah, should go there prolly and see what's up, been a good long while. Did it take?

2.02phpbb had some nice fixes in it... and then page template caching thing in the /contrib directory should make a nice difference.

So that caching thing explains the speed difference I noticed. Sweet.

mebbe it doesn't? If you didn't specifically install the mod in the /contrib directory then it ain't installed.

I need to plug it in myself, then mebbe I could tell *you* if it's any good. Little unmotivated here myself...

Glad the family isn't suffering =D
