Moving In
I just got done moving this site to Dreamhost to save some money and consolidate hosting providers. It was a tough decision to make. I really loved working with Webcorelabs, but could no longer justify $40/month to host a site that I haven't been using much.
Many, MANY thanks to Matt for the mod_rewrite wizardry that made the server transition smooth as silk.
If you notice anything that's broken, please let me know.
Two Days, Two Trips to the Fair
Yesterday morning was filled with anticipation. There was a mandatory meeting called at work and we were all buzzing about the possibilities. At 10am everyone was called into the conference room, tricked into thinking it was business as usual, and then told that we were all going to a spa for the day. Sweet!
We were all ushered onto a bus and I was secretly fantasizing about meditation and a massage. Once on the bus we were all handed cash on a stick and told we were going to the Minnesota State Fair. Whew! At least I wouldn't have to potentially disrobe in front of coworkers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. There's everything wrong with that.
So, we hit the fair with a vengence. After three beers (one of which was slammed during a college style drinking contest), a deep-fried Snickers, ostrich on a stick, cheese curds, deep fried pickles, and hot dish on a stick, I was as full as I've ever been.
Fortunately I recovered well and made it to work today (I felt a lot better than I thought I would). Right away I got an email from a friend asking if I wanted to go to the fair after work...AGAIN. I drafted about 3 emails declining the offer. The idea of more fair food made my stomach turn. By around lunch time I decided that if I didn't have to work late I'd go. Screw it. What's another thousand calories?
So, my dinner tonight consisted of a gigantic s'more, mini donuts, a pronto pup, a pretzel with cheese, a beer, and alligator on a stick. Yes, alligator. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever had, but it was way over spiced and had an awful aftertaste. It tasted nothing like chicken.
I'm now home and crashing hard. Time for bed. I'm done with the fair for another year.
