Introducing a new blog feature: Links Of Questionable Virtue (LOQV). Since I put so many links to neat stuff of the moment in posts, I decided to set up a comprehensive link management system. That's basically CubeMonkey™-speak for: "I found some neato toy on the net, and came up with an excuse to use it." So I've installed a MovableType plugin called MT Blogroll and I am using it to manage my links and store them in categories. The most recent five links will show up in the right sidebar, and you can view the entire database by clicking the LOQV link. Since you won't get an email when these are updated, check back often to find new ones, or get caught up by viewing the archive.
From the Homefront Desk, things at the new house are shaping up just peachy, however we have killed two dangerous hobo spiders. I'm thinking about getting the place spayed. This Sunday we hope to put up our garage door opener and keep up with the Jones'. Also, we have tentatively sold the pool table that came with the house, so we will hopefully be getting gas heat and hot water very soon. The kitties are adapting, pictures will come once we have emptied all the boxes upstairs.
Jakki is back in school this week and she has been riding her bike everyday (we are much closer to SCC now). Hopefully the weather will hold out a bit longer so I can get my surigcal drain out and go on a few bike rides. I have an appointment with a new surgeon next week, so hopefully it will get yanked then. So that's your Friday update!

Does having gas and hot water somehow depend on getting rid of the pooltable? Is this some weird cirty ordience? Pool != hot water ?
I’m with Bayly - get the hot H2O! Like the new look. I feel like groupie. I always check your blog for interesting commentary and links. Love ya in LR. Getting wet, but a hell of a lot better off then those poor souls in the Gulf. God bless ‘em.
Well, selling the pool table for cash money is how gas appliances are born, i.e. pool table = $ = gas. Plus the pool table takes up too much space in the basement, and since I can’t drink or smoke anymore, the facination is pretty much gone. Actually, I’ve been revisiting the whole natural gas thing, and I think I might just go with a higher efficiency oil burner because run pipes would mean ripping up the deck for the trench. Also, our power here all comes from hydro, and is some of the cheapest in the nation, so as oil prices go up, electric will look better and better.
