I am working on getting things moved over, so don’t mind the boxes.

I will redirect the Feedburner and Bloglines feeds, but make sure you redirect the direct feeds from here.

Thanks!!

Sadly, my blog is not working right now.  The mighty arm of Zeuss has struck and says he does not like me.  I am fighting back, but it is a difficult task (dare I say "Titanic?").  I am working to get it fixed.  Please note the following:

1. You cannot comment on the blog (unless you are really clever, like one of my readers).  Send your comments via e-mail and I will put them on once I get up and running again.
2. My blog is probably going to move to distractible.org.  Once it does this, I will notify you.  I would be very grateful if you then changed your links en masse.
3. I hate this.  I hate this.  I hate this.

Rob.

To those who are having problems with this blog loading, I am sorry.+AKA- I am having significant database problems that threaten my known blogging universe.+AKA- That is why I have changed around the themes.

Part of the problem is the evil IE.+AKA- If you use internet explorer, why??+AKA- Firefox is far better.+AKA- It just is - it is much more forgiving for what is on the webpage and has many more features.+AKA- I have had a large number of times where my blog looked fine on Firefox, only to find it looked crazy on IE.+AKA- It has never been the reverse.

Anyway, I hope to get the problems figured out soon and get back to blogging and away from words like SQL and php.

Sunday was my big sister’s birthday. I actually have 3 big sisters (and lived to tell about it), and this sister happens to be the middle of the three. She now has her PhD in American History, and has actually contributed a good amount to the knowledge in the area of her expertise. She spent some time teaching at several universities, and was very favorably viewed by her students.

But as for me, she had a long-lasting and devastating effect on my knowledge about the “facts of life.”

I was about nine years-old. I was wondering about the origin of babies (the fascination with goats and llamas had not started yet). “So how do babies get in there in the first place?”

My mother and father looked uncomfortable. They are of Dutch descent, and not too comfortable with open talk about anything like sex.

Fortunately, they had an “easy out.” They had bought a book that taught about the “facts of life” in a non-threatening way. The book was named Susie’s Babies, and it told the story of a Hamster that lived in the classroom of a 4th grade class. This hamster gets pregnant and the children wonder how this happens. Gently, the author tells them about “Mommy and Daddy Hamsters” and hence, by implication, about “Mommy and Daddy.”

So I was sat down on the floor in the living room and given their copy of Susie’s Babies. I was not quite sure how a book about hamsters could answer my question, but I dutifully started reading.

It was then that my sister entered the room. She looked over at me, got a disgusted look on her face, and said, “Eeeww. Robbie’s reading that gross book, Susie’s Babies!”

I dropped the book like it was radioactive and never picked it up again.

It was several years until I found out the truth. I learned from my friends.

Thanks, Sis. Happy Birthday.
