  • Dobson accuses Obama of ‘distorting’ Bible
    If “distorting” the bible means pointing out that it says you should stone your children if they leave the faith, and that eating shellfish is an abomination, and that we should own slaves, then I’m confused about what distorting means.

Infinite Loop

This upgrade to MT 4.1 has been an interesting journey.

Last night, when I enabled MT-Twitter, I didn’t put in the correct “regular expression” to keep it from ignoring tweets that started with “New Blog Post.” Hence, when I got to work this morning and looked at my blog, I had hourly Status Updates about my New Blog Post about my Status Update…

So, i deleted all the unnecessary duplicate posts from work, but restrained myself from using Twitter until I could get home and make sure everything would work OK, with no infinite loops.

I think I’m addicted to Twitter.

To keep myself sane, I wrote all the tweets I would have liked to have posted in an email to myself, so I could post them here:

Enjoying hearing some long-lost prog rock on my iPod. I forgot how much I like(d) Dream Theater. 10:41am
Finally have enough tasks at work that I’m using the Outlook Tasks feature. Nice. 11:17am
Should be hungry. Focusing more on other kinds of cramps at the moment. 1:00pm
Yay! I know enough about my job now to know when a piece of data was left out. 2:53pm
I need a nap. 3:58pm
Damn, you, @wilw! You got me… 4:14pm

Anyway, I think my site upgrade is at a good stopping point… for now. Next up: migrating to a new server.
