I'm blogging from the Blount County library in case the Internet connection doesn't work when I get home.

I talked to another Charter tech last night, and he suspects my cable modem is so old that it isn't compatible with Charter's upgrades of last weekend. I swung by Charter today and exchanged it for a newer modem. They swapped modems for free, which was nice of them.

I met Rich Hailey, SaysUncle and Chris Range at Barley's last night. Nice guys, all around. SaysUncle and I are talking about having a Rocky Top Brigade Range Day. Get together, try some different guns, and introduce non-shooters to the sport.

SaysUncle told me about MoxiePop losing her job over blogging, and the whole nasty scene around the MoxieWars. Steve Chapman has advice on blogging while working for the man.

Incidentally, this is why I don't talk about my job on the site. I don't want a connection between one and the other. It's also why SaysUncle and other bloggers prefer to be anonymous.
