You're welcome -- I am really sorry it was gone for so long. I couldn't access it from home before (network issues), and then it went down and I didn't notice for a little while. We should be solid now for the long term.

I think we're back... obviously there will be some things to fix over the next days/weeks, but the basic stuff should work.

Here's a test post with the new software... here goes nothing...

Hi all... sorry I've been absent for a while. I made some network changes and as a result I can't access the Diner from home. I'll get it sorted out soon enough.

congrats, insecta!

in other words, my paper will be done in a few days, whether i like it or not! gotta get back to work...

insect: thanks for your post. Yeah, facebook is just *too* public. it's like church versus george's or something. i'm in the middle of a huge project for school that is due april 5th... so i can't write much now. but more later.

Or to put that in a different way, in Utah there are a lot of biblical and quasi-biblical place names, thanks to the Mormon influence, e.g. Moab, Zion, etc.

smax: when the thru-you stuff was posted on Slashdot, I jumped in and plugged EBN. It's crazy to think that EBN was doing this with cable television with analog machinery during the first Gulf War.

It's still cool stuff. Miss you guys.

Had a a nice time with toastboy; he happened to be in LA for a preaching seminar... in Malibu of all places. He said, "I really wanted to hate California... I wanted to get run off the road by some crazed movie star... but I didn't. It's really beautiful!"

I would just like to say, the Diner will still be here when FaceBookGoogleCorp is the CEO of America, Inc.

smax: When we went to Scandinavia, we rented a car in Oslo and drove through the mountains and back. We did not spend any time whatsoever preparing by learning the meaning of street signs, so it was never clear if we were supposed to stop at certain intersections or not, or was that a stop sign or a do not enter sign, and hilarity like that. My advice, look at a sheet of signs first.
