On Friday night we headed out to a birthday party at a place called Kart 2 Kart, an indoor go-kart racing place. It was a lot of fun and I discovered that, when it comes to racing, I make a pretty good photographer. It’s not that I don’t enjoy whipping around a hairpin turn in an overpowered riding lawnmower, I’m just not very good at it.

Ok, enough of the technical crap, back to the blather.
I’ve got to remember to charge up the batteries in the camera before I leave work tonight. We’re going to a Kart racing party with my Fiancee’s brother in law and a passel of his cronies.
I don’t know if they’re cronies or not. I just like the sound of it.. “Passel of Cronies.” It’s like a pack of wolves, a pride of lions, a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese or a congestion of lobbyists.

So far so good. I think I’ve got all of the goofiness in the art archives taken care of. Some broken links are to be expected of course… I don’t know whose idea it was to have images and uploaded files referred to by their full path including host name. All I can say is thank goodness for BBEdit. Multi-file find and replace is great for taking care of those little things that Movable Type’s “Rebuild” function misses.

Looks like the server is gonna have to move. I’ll be making the switch on Friday sometime during the day (hopefully it’ll all go smoothly). I’m also going to see what I can do about putting in a temporary server to forward things to the new address, but it might not do much good since the networking bigwigs are going to be totally cutting off outside access to the old number in a few days.
