Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't, but the site's down right now for repairs.

If you don't care about the painful details, skip the rest of this paragraph. I bought a new router, because Microcenter had wireless routers on sale for $60 after rebate, and then I could use the wireless card for my Forrester laptop at home to have a connection to the Internet anywhere in the apartment. But something about its port forwarding is different than my old router's, so for some reason, I couldn't get Apache configured to actually answer requests right. So I decided to just reformat the hard drive on this machine, and start from scratch. I set a lot of things up on that machine before I really knew what I was doing, so I had been meaning to do this for a while.

Anyway, it'll be back up by the time you read this, since you won't read this until it's back up.

I have time for these home IT projects since Terri's away in D.C. at a conference. She's staying with Kim, so they'll also be doing some wedding-oriented stuff like Kim's bachelorette party.

We flew to Pittsburgh last weekend for Nora's wedding. It was all a whirlwind, but it was nice. I got to meet many famous people from Terri's youth, like the other Gallers and Nora's friends Nico and Leslie. We also made an effort to drop in and see Greg and Dawn since Dawn is with child and we're excited for her. We stayed at the farm, and even though I swore to myself that I'd do no manual labor, I got some nice scratches on my face while helping Mom & Dad clear some thorn bushes near the back property line.
