Yahoo Knows Best, Resets Users' Marketing Prefs
This kind of thing is very annoying. If they'd sent out a notice saying they were going to do it, it wouldn't be so bad, but it really sucks that I had to find out about this at slashdot, and not directly from Yahoo.

I added a blog archive page today. See the link to the left. I've been blogging since June 2001 now, averaging just a few posts a month. That really seems like enough, though, doesn't it? I really don't do interesting things, or have interesting thoughts, every day.

Domain Name Follies
Well, I just went through the paperwork to transfer my domain to DNS Central. I will also soon be switching to the GeoCities $5/month account, so I will have FTP access and remote loading capability. Long story, pretty boring. The end result is that I don't like any of the other free web providers, and I'm leery of the various other low-cost hosting services. Some of them look pretty cheesy. Hopefully, Yahoo/GeoCities will continue to work well. And the $5/month will get rid of the annoying ads on this page! Yay!

Just finished reading issues 1-4 of Rob Hanes Adventures. Good stuff, reminiscent of Milton Caniff or Alex Toth. A web site I was looking at a while ago described it as "Jonny Quest, all grown up and packing heat." Fair enough. Published by WCG Comics. Their web site seems to be done right now, unfortunately.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I caught a cold Friday, so I've just been taking it easy all weekend, drinking orange juice and reading comics. I read the Planetary Vol. 2 hardcover yesterday, and Tim Truman's Black Lamb series today. Both were excellent.
I found all six issues of Black Lamb in somebody's dollar box at a convention in NYC a few months ago. I don't recall seeing any mention of this series when it first came out. Typical good Tim Truman stuff. I would have completely missed it if I hadn't stumbled across it in that box!
Probably time to take some NyQuil and get off to bed now.

Pocket Coffee
A friend of mine went to Italy a while ago, and brought me back a box of Pocket Coffee. Good stuff.
- Amusing blog entry on this subject here.
- Buy them here.
Don't eat too many before bed. They make you JUMPY!

It's my birthday.
Well, today's my 35th birthday. Relatively good day so far. Thai for lunch. Nice pastrami sandwich for dinner. Star Trek tonight. A little Stravinsky on the stereo right now. What could be better? :-)

Good day yesterday: The family came up for my birthday, and for the Somerville St. Patrick's Day parade. I got a Mr. Bill DVD! Oh no!
Felt like crap today, though, for some reason. Too much corned beef, maybe?

My Radio UserLand page is here. I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not. I'm still trying to figure out what it's good for, outside of blogging, which Blogger does just as well. A lot of people seem to think it's cool.

Oh well, Yahoo is going to discontinue FTP access to free GeoCities sites soon. Time to start looking around for something better...
