Yeah, I’m still sick. It’s pretty rad, we’re going on a month now. Don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly a lot better than it was the first week - I have been back at work since then, for example - but I still have this horrible cough and a voice that’s only good for about twenty minutes of talking per day. I figure eventually it will go away, or kill me. Either way, really.

My site turns seven years old next week, something I’m especially aware of given how much I’ve been slacking on updating recently. I’m going to go ahead and continue my strategy of blaming most of that on being sick, and the rest of it on being busy. (My job doesn’t involve a lot of sitting around and reading Slashdot, that’s for sure.) But I know you folks come here hoping for something new, so I’ll do my best now that I’m rejoining the land of the living.

This should be a measure of how out of it I’ve been lately: I waited six months for tickets to see a taping of The Daily Show, and a couple of weeks ago I was finally notified that I had two tickets for the 8th. That was yesterday. I remembered that I had these tickets about twenty minutes after the taping had already started, when I was heading home from work. Ah well - I guess that’s what TiVo is for.
