Out of Action, Tonight.
I'm working on my motive, and doing character sketches. Sorry! But my deadline is a scary one, so blogging and housework are the first things to go. Be thankful you don't live with me.
My sidebar is your friend, and with any luck I'll be back later tonight, or first thing in the morning. After all, I still have some writing to do on Senator McCain.

Safari Problem Solved!
I still had some of the old Blogads code lingering in my template. I thought I had removed the cancer, but—alas!—more surgery was required.
The person responsible was harshly reprimanded, and then treated to a dirty martini. (Kind of a good cop/bad cop approach to behavior mod.)

We're shopping for a car, and I'm behind on my pages for the Arizona mystery. See you tomorrow (or whenever)!
The house recommends: The cotillion blogroll on my sidebar.

So. How Are My Links and Comments Working?
Right now, it appears that the Mac/Safari people are screwed on my site, whereas the Wintel/Explorer people are holding their own.
Let me know, boys and girls. Just give me system-browswer-what's working.
Thanks!

Goofy stuff happens in Safari. Links disappear and
text lines collapse accordingly as the links are moused over.
But if i highlight a block of text, the links remain and can be
clicked on.
I'm posting this via Firefox.

Nice Little Site on Your "Favorites" List . . . .
It would be a shame if something happened to it.
My traffic took a dive over the weekend. Now, I understand that some of you were put off by the facts that:
1) I didn't really post on Saturday or Sunday;
2) The site was taking forever to load, because I still had the old Blogads script in my templates;
3) Comments weren't working;
4) There were moments that mu.nu itself appeared to be down;
5) I'm a snotty, rather irritating person.
However, you know what happens when my traffic drops too drastically: I reach for my smelling salts, and then I stop posting entirely, even during the week. Yes, I know that other bloggers—weak-willed, spineless ones—assume that "if I build it, they might come."
That doesn't fly here. My philosophy is, "if they show up, and I feel like it, I might entertain them.
So be sure to show up, and leave me lots of comments. If the mu.nu comments are down, please write your concerns on a $50 bill and mail them to me via the U.S. Postal service. Remember: the money will go to a good cause. Me.
UPDATE: Since I'm in an unsentimental mood, the text "during the wee" above has been corrected to read "during the week." I do, however, still reserve the right to blog while on the potty, and there's not a thing you can do about it. (And if you're on the phone with me and hear tinkly noises? Those must be my wind chimes.)

$50 bill, huh? Was the Fed giving you trouble cashing in those defaced T-Bills?
Fun Fact: Many readers don't know that they can arrange to list LMA as the sole beneficiary to their estates! Until now. Knowledge is "power"! (But don't write that down on your official documents--LMA doesn't want any legal battles with SondraK)

Gotta hand it to ya, Attila Girl, I never even guessed that you were posting during the wee! Whaddaya use, a laptop?

Well, Colin--there are certain advantages to sitting down while urinating. I know chicks don't have the "full directional control" than men enjoy, but we certainly have an easier time multi-tasking.

Sure! Going for the tried-and-true way to increase your traffic, are we? You'll need a 'Digg This' button.
Btw, some of us men are able to do the same, handsfree. I won't say if we can tell you how cold or how deep the water is, because that would be bragging. And delusional.
FunFact: Stockbrokers would go out of busineess if their customers ever stopped taking phone calls in the loo.

I will never understand the need to talk on the phone in the can. When someone does that at work, I start banging on the door yelling "I gotta go!"

I wouldn't ever do it in a public restroom. But at home . . . ? Why not?

I think there's something up with Sitemeter, Google, or both. My traffic has dropped 50% since late last week. I can't have gotten that bad all of a sudden. Can't I?

Their database does strange things, Sean. I have had convo's with them about it. It was corrupted for me for like 9 months, only registering about half to 2/3rds of my actual hits. Problem in one of their servers.

And Yet More Blogkeeping . . .
My four-year blogversary was a few weeks ago. Within another week or two, I expect to reach the 300,000-hit mark.

Happy Easter!
Blogging will be light today as A the H and I head up the coast to have Easter dinner with my uncle, aunt, grandmother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews in Pismo Beach.
I'll try to grab some sexy coastline shots and post them circa Monday.
If you do celebrate Easter, do try to remember the reason for the season.

A the H?? I do not celebrate easter, but happy easter anyways, can someone please explain what does the bunny have to do with Jesus? or is it like frosty the snowman, and which I assume has nothing to do with christmas, just that it is white and furry and cuddly?
Atila, this is the second time you are using my initials, you might as well use the real name to avoid the confussion, clearly I ain't invited to your aun'ts place ('_')

"Attila the Hub." The guy I married.
I don't know: I find that the commercialism surrounding Easter bothers me more than that surrounding Christmas. People who aren't cranky bitches tell me that the theme is "renewal," and an empty tomb has everything to do with cute little baby animals (chicks and bunnies), and eggs.
But when I was a child I found the disconnect between death/life and frivolity like bunnies and chickies to be really, really unsettling.
And yet I see that other people derive pleasure from these rituals, and I also see how in places that feature Real Weather, the spiritual theme might connect with the seasonal one via Easter-egg hunts and the like in a more logical way.
