You have reached one of the old pages on this siteI switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated. All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog. | |

Here in Knox VegasThe Knoxville News-Sentinel looks at Tennessee Bloggers. I had no idea that South Knox Bubba's identity was unknown (not that I know who he is).
Our house wasn't affected by the tornadoes last week. We didn't so much as lose power or even have a tree limb blown down. One advantage of living on a ridge, I guess. Jim and Wendy weren't so lucky. They live off of Old Knoxville Highway (nee Maryville Pike) and trees knocked down their power lines. The good news is that KUB had their power back by Saturday afternoon. Melissa and I were at work when the bad weather hit. At my office we lost power at work around 5:00. With no power, the phone switch went dead and we lost the land lines. Melissa and I kept in touch by cell phone. At work, we plugged my radio into Teddy's UPS and tuned to WIVK to get updates on the tornado's progress. Eventually we had to shut down our desktops and servers before the batteries in the uninterruptable power supplies gave out. Everyone got home safe, and there were no fatalities anywhere in Knoxville. Here's a little something to celebrate our good fortune! How to Make a Southern Hurricane1 1/2 oz.

Which Les Jones are you?I'm the good-looking one. In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us. I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
