When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Well, the Escape's got over 1800 miles on it now, after a 600 mile round trip for turkey and pinochle at my sister's. Dad's working on moving a storage shed to make room for a vinyl garage thingy to use to store yet more stuff. Seems I installed mom & dad's digital certificate last year, as well as the one on my pop server last thanksgiving, because they both expired this weekend. Oh, and one of my personal certs expired then too. It looks like Thanksgiving is going to become Security Update Weekend from now on.
I'm supposed to get DSL here tomorrow, but I haven't seen the notice from Qwest come into Peak yet, so I'm guessing they're waiting until the phone line is actually installed, though I'm not thrilled about that. Though I haven't gotten the modem yet either. I'll have to call them tomorrow and find out what's up. I'm a little worried that they're going to say "oh, we can't give you DSL after all", in which case they're going to get a surprise, because I'm having them do the install of the line here, to the tune of $100. Since the entire point of this exercise is to get DSL, if they can't provide it, they're going to eat it when I cancel the entire order. Since I actually want DSL, and I would like my Tivo to call in and count ratings for the shows I watch, I'm hoping it'll all work out though.
