On Friday, my web host (WebQuarry) performed some service upgrades on the server, which is great, because now we have the latest versions of everything, and it’s all on a faster, more reliable machine, and ain’t life great, yada yada yada, except that some of the programs I was running before the upgrade no longer worked afterward. Of course, I didn’t know about any of this, until Friday afternoon when I tried to update my page here with Important News that you Can’t Live Well Without.™ I have since forgotten what that Important News was. At any rate, I couldn’t update all weekend, and I watched anxiously as my blog sat idle for days, and I felt as if I had Failed the World.

I’m sorry, World, I failed you.

But everything’s fine, now. The good people at Movable Type were able to pinpoint the problem quickly, and now I can post more drivel to my blog. Never again, World, will I let you down. Blog on, Michael. Blog on.

Ohohohoh!!! I remembered one piece of the Important News! My good friend, Stephanie Pytlinski, turned… um… well, she turned old like me on Friday.

Happy Birthday, Steph!
