Time Woes

Posted on by

I just realized the blog is showing the timestamp as “CDT” with the time an hour out because I set the correct offset in the admin panel, but the server is running on CDT right now. So apparently WordPress (or the theme I am using) is pulling the timezone info directly from the server instead of using the offset number to figure it out. Argh!

Edit: Fixed by switching themes again. Hopefully this will be the last time I switch for awhile.. constantly editing the sidebar is getting kind of annoying.

New Kitty

Will post pictures tomorrow.

Someone at Bart’s work found him outside the building, apparently abandoned. He’s just a tiny little bugger, about 4 weeks old, and not yet weaned. We’ve tentatively named him “Kodiak”. I like the sound of the name, not sure how keen Bart is on it yet.

Hair Cut

Posted on by

I finally decided it was time to chop my hair again. Pulling it all back into a ponytail was becoming a pain (literally), and I figure its good to let the back of my neck get exposed to the air & sun again.
Bart’s comment was “it looks like [it did] when we first met.” *sigh* I guess it does look a little dorkish this way, but I should complain about maintaining it a lot less.

New Theme

Posted on by

So.. I was reading a thread at BONR last night and discovered that this site was using the same wordpress theme I was. SO I needed to change. I don’t think I have found a good replacement yet though.. so be prepared.

VOIP Phone Update #2

Posted on by

WE HAVE A NEW PHONE! YES! I am so happy about that. And now we have 2 handsets as well, thanks to my forgetfulness and the power of “teh Internet”! I still paid for about 7 weeks worth of service I didn’t use, but that is really my fault for not being more persistant with Packet8.

[Packet8 pimp] I believe they are still doing their customer referral program where if I send someone a sign up link, I get an Amazon gift card (dang, it used to be a $25 service credit) if they sign up and stay a customer for at least 2 months, and the person who signs up also gets an instant credit (basically, your signup fee gets waived). If anyone is interested, please email me or comment in this post with your email address. Their basic residential service is ~$23/month including taxes/fees (depending on your state too, I think). Unlimited minutes to US and Canada, special rates to Europe, etc. I have no complaints about their phone service, and I can only hope that their customer service [read: sympathy for those with no landline phone and limited cell minutes] improves as time goes on.
