Aside from being in Joomla! hell, I’ve been a busy little beaver today. I’ve added a new plugin to WP (Gallery NextGEN) so I can do some cool stuff with my headers. I did the next round of tweaks to the Taqueria menu. I cleaned out and organised my bookmarks. Lots of little things to make my digital life neater.
When I was talking to Paul (the owner of ITX my web host) last night, he told me that John Travolta’s site is hosted with them and they’ve been running wild trying to stay ahead of the traffic. When his son died, Travolta’s site was hammered. It was just a little ole shared server site and they had to not only move it to its own server, but they had 5 servers plus a load balancer on it to keep it up last night. And even that was to the brink of overload. Crazy, eh?
We had dinner with the Piazzas Saturday night after seeing the disappointing movie The Spirit. (Frank Miller: do NOT direct EVER again.) Dinner was delightful with YellowTail Shiraz, Spinach Dip starter, beef tenderloin au poivre with pepper gravy, haricots verts in citrus sauce and loaded smashed potatoes (baaaaaacon!). We had a delectable green tea crème brulée for dessert. Mmmmmmm. Our tummies were SO full! BIG shoutout to Stormy and Mistah J for having us over. :-)
Hmm, what else? I’ll be happy to get back on a schedule. Nick is finally back to work tomorrow and we’ll be on the diet bandwagon once again. Bleh. My wrist hurts, so I’m gonna call it a day. L8r!
