Up to date

With the arrival of my brother Roger in town sandwiched immediately after a rather hectic end to the semester, I haven't spent a whole lot of time online the last week or so. That time period happened to coincide with some server software upgrades at my web host, which happened to wreak havoc with user sessions on this site. Should by fixed now and, not so incidentally, the software has been updated to the latest version.

In other news, tripping over my cable connection a couple of years back finally resulted in the death of my TV. Reconnecting things after dragging my DVD player off elsewhere caused the connector in the TV to simply fall off. I consoled myself with one of these - AKA the biggest TV that I could fit in the back of my car (although I went for a 720p display instead of the 1080p to save a few dollars - the reviews suggest that the difference isn't very noticable at TV viewing distances). Anyways, Roger and I tested out the new display with a movie this evening, just before I dropped him off at the airport for the flight back and the extra size was nice to have (particularly since I went to the 37" model from a 20" display).
