I made it to the doctor’s office yesterday. I don’t have H1N1 GOP flu. It’s borderline between severe bronchitis and mild pneumonia. So I’m on strong antibiotics, and should gradually feel better. It’s still too soon to expect much out of me other than posting articles here.

I tried the Jig Zone puzzle. Due to several coughing jags, it took me 11:35. You’ll never get a better chance to beat me. To do it, Click Here. How did you do?

I’m sorry to report that I still feel like crap. I have a appointment with my doctor this afternoon. I still do nit expect to be able to catch up on replying to comments and visiting blogs.

Here’s the latest video from the boys at Red State Update.

I disclaim all knowledge of feline relatives who may have been used in the torture tape.

I kept up on visiting and comments yesterday. I will not today, because I’m ill with some kind of cold or flu. I feel like I ought to be buried in my on cat box. Sorry about today’s slim pickings.

Yesterday I fell behind on replying to comments and visiting blogs. Today I hope to do better. Since Windows 7 was released today, and I get a free upgrade from Vista (the OS equivalent to BARF) that came with my new computer, I’m going to try to get that done today. Assuming that is smooth, I’ll catch up.

I wore myself out yesterday running errands. I did get a little visiting done but not much. I’ll catch up today. Last night’s service in the First Church of the Ellipsoid Orb was a time of great joy. Here is a summary of the service:

Yesterday I enjoyed my football time, and I’m looking forward to the Broncos/Chargers game tonight. My time for visits will be limited today, because I have the set of errands I planned on Friday to do today. How was your weekend?

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.
