Sorry for the lack of posts, but Melissa and I have been living in the stone age the last week. Like many other Charter customers in Tennessee and Georgia, our cable modem has been mostly down since Thursday. During the brief periods when the modem was up, my Blogger Pro account was down while the blog was moved to the new system (which has a much better interface, though the features are about the same). I had to use another Internet connection to SSH to the server to manually fix an error in Friday's post.

What have we done while the Internet connection was down? We read books, did lots of cooking. I trimmed trees. Last night I made a batch of beer. If the modem is still down next week we may get some goats and start making our own cheese.

More posts later.

PS I found the disks for my camera, so I now have 256 MB of pictures and video clips I can unleash on the site. Be afraid.
