I’ll be putting the Journal into Maintenance Mode soon, while I work on the theme. Shouldn’t take more than two hours, max.
Also, since I’m already writing a Journal article, I’ll mention that database-intensive parts of PlanetJK (like the Journal and the Photo Albums) seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time to load- I’m looking into it.
… there’s lots to do.
I woke up at 0400 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. Around 0500 I cranked up the Too Human demo and got my game one. W00t! I’m honestly considering it for the next Xbox 360 purchase, I really enjoy the mix of mythology, cybernetics, first person shooter, swordplay, and RPG aspects.
Now that I’ve played my heart out, I’m going to work on the forum for our Kickball division, do some maintenance on my Ubuntu PC, and hopefully do some maintenance on PlanetJK. Oh, and I’ll be updating my TweetWhatYouEat and Traineo fitness profiles first.
Hopefully I can snag another two or three hours of sleep before I go play kickball this afternoon.
P.S.: Discovery Channel’s “I Love This World” commercial is awesome.

When we signed up for FiOS, Verizon promised three free months of movie channels, but they charged us anyway. Not that I’m surprised- shenanigans like that are practically the norm, particularly in the service delivery industry. What DID surprise me was 1) how quickly they figured out they had mischarged us, and 2) their offering to crank my internet package up from “Normal” fiber optic speeds (5mb/s) to their “Ultra” speed (which I’ve read is supposed to be between 10 and 15mb/s).
They agreed to up the speed two nights ago (and they claim that I don’t need to call and unsubscribe after the month, but we’ll see), and tonight I ran a speed test:
FiOS Speedtest
20mb/s download and 4.8mb/s upload! Wooo hooo! Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times, kids.
Oops. Last night’s journal upgrade took a wrong turn when the Maintenance plugin blocked me from finishing the upgrade. This morning I did a little bit of googling and found an answer, which worked like a charm.
