Yesterday I took the day off, after posting two articles and replying to a few comments here. I’ll get some visiting in today, but I’m having an early supper with a friend, so I may need to cut that short.

Yesterday I managed to catch up on both replies to comments and visiting every blog on my list. Today I’ll be mostly away from my computer, because I’m preparing Christmas dinner to share with a disabled woman in my building who has nobody and cannot cook for herself. We’re having ham, yams, stuffing, turkey gravy, mixed veggies, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. How about you?

Yesterday I managed to keep up and I expect to do so again today. Tomorrow I will be posting articles and can probably reply to comments early, but I’ll be cooking a Christmas dinner to share with a disabled woman in my building and watching a Net Flix movie with her.

Yesterday was football day. I managed to keep up with comments, but did no visiting. I won’t be around most of the day, because I’ll be attending the Christmas party for the therapy group where I volunteer, but I souldd be able to catch up on Tuesday. I got to listen to the Broncos game on the radio. They were singularly unimpressive, giving away a game that they should have easily won.

How are you spending the last weekend before Christmas?

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
