May The Stars Light Your Way
Wendy & I ended up with a ‘found’ Saturday night off, so we used a gift certificate given to us a while ago to dine at Jag’s Steak and Seafood in West Chester (quite near MESH, where my friend M-Brett works). The food was good,…
We ate dinner with Dave & Robin this evening at Ruby Tuesday’s where everyone (except me) could be ‘good’ and stick to their diets. While they all nibbled salads and veggie burgers, I enjoyed my Mini Burgers (topped with fried onion straws), fries, and mozzarella…
We’ve got a couple behind-the-scenes issues occuring with the website — our cache program isn’t working, sometimes the comment form seems to disappear, and there is an elusive bug with my permalinks. I’m working to fix all of these issues, so if you experience any system wonkiness, please bear with us!
UPDATE 1: The cache turns out to be functioning normally after all. A previous version would put TWO lines into the cached file indicating that it was served from the cache and the documentation still indicates this. However, the author has removed the second line, which is what I was looking for to determine if it was working.
UPDATE 2: It appears that the comment form issue is related to the page rendering in Internet Explorer or Firefox. The comment form works fine in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. We’re still working on this.
UPDATE 3: Thanks to Yosemite and Moshu from the WordPress Support forum (link above), we isolated the comment form problem to an out-of-date version of the HashCash plugin we’ve been running. Curiously, when I updated HashCash from 2.3 to 3.2, the comment form displayed properly in IE but not in Firefox — the opposite of what was happening before! As a result, I’ve disabled the HashCash plugin.
Still working on those permalinks! I’ve been directed to the documents that I believe will help. I just haven’t had time to work on it yet.
Wow, another night at home! Wendy ate NutriSystem, a salad, and some leftover cauliflower soup for her dinner. For me, I had an onion-y cheeseburger and some mushroom risotto. We watched a couple episodes of THE DOG WHISPERER that we’d recorded before coming upstairs to…
This evening, Wendy & I went and had our cellphones ‘unlocked‘, thereby removing the obligation to stick with Cincinnati Bell’s service (which has been screwing me royally since I signed up for it a few months ago) and allowing us to choose another service that…
I’m currently reading HEAT: An Amateur’s Adventures As Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker and Apprentice to a Dante-quoting Butcher in Tuscany by Bill Buford. I was considering bumping this book in favor of Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk to read on an upcoming vacation, but email conversations with new friend Eric convinced me to continue with the original plan to read HEAT.

Tonight’s dinner was the monthly Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn. Ted, Tracy (her first wine dinner in some time!), Angel, Mike, Greg, Wendy, and I met at ‘the Horse’ to partake of the following menu: The Iron Horse Restaurant Treats From Our Cellar…
