TC the Terrible

It’s been over a month since I got home.

There was plenty of time to do a long form post.  There was plenty of things I could have posted about.  There was the long ride home (four days to make an eight hour trip).  There was the week at the beach with THE WOMAN and the younger kids.  There was the jaunt to New York City where we ate until we were sick, saw some shows, visited King Kong and Ground Zero, but mostly we hung out in Times Square watching people.

Yeah, you guys would have liked hearing about those things.  Instead I stayed away from the blog.  I simply didn’t want to take the time to form sentences and paragraphs.

But now I’m back at the office and I’m paying attention to reality again.  Meaning I’ll have more to say about what’s going on.  And I’ll get back to doing this again.  At least until I decide to take another break.

In case you haven’t noticed, and I’m sure you haven’t based on my recent stats, the layout has changed again.  It doesn’t sound that hard to do, but it had been a couple of years since I updated my install of WordPress and there was lots of background crap to change.

It’s done now, so enjoy.

For the last few months there’s been a black box on the right side of my blog.  Yeah, I saw it but didn’t think much about.

See, that’s where my Twitter widget was.  What’s a Twitter widget you ask?  It’s a box that shows the last four tweets I’ve posted.  Sort of a way to keep blog readers up to speed when I don’t have time to write a long form post.  So, why didn’t I think much about such an important feature being blacked out.

Think about where I am, dickheads.  A lot of content gets blocked and a lot of web apps are blocked off too.  I figured this was just one more thing.  So when I finally got off the CHU net and was able to surf w/o filters the black box was still there.

Seems Twitter changed the code parameters on me.   A quick 30 second fix and I’m back in business.

No thanks to any of you, since none of you mentioned it to me.  You people have got to learn to communicate.
