Well, things are definitely moving along here at Idiot Central. Today is voting day, which means there’s been a steady stream of people walking down the street in front of the house to and from the elementary school. We’re going after lunch to stand in line and (hopefully) make our voices heard; I’ll be happy when I’ve ceased getting calls from Rudy Giuliani and Bill Clinton exhorting me to vote one way or the other, and the piles of direct mail switch back over to Christmas catalogs.

I’m looking at email a little differently this morning, as well. I got my hosting switched over to a new service, one which lacks in helpful configuration what it makes up for in sheer number of services at a rock-bottom price. I’m not going to recommend it just yet (although it would be in my financial best interest to do so) until I’ve wrung it out somewhat, but all looks to be working correctly so far. Now, I have to read up on migrating two years of Eudora archives over to Mail.app. You’ll also notice that some of my portfolio site is down—I have yet to upload the rest of my files.

Thirdly, I made a purchase yesterday that may put off the new laptop for a little while. More on that later…
