This winter has been unnaturally warm, sort of. A lot of the days have been warm but a lot of them have been bitter cold, too. The thing that stands out more, to me, though, is the lack of snow.
Right now, we’ve got some of the white stuff on the ground. Its been -10°C for the past few days and the snow has remained here in all of its crusty glory because of that – all 3 inches (8.62cm) of it. The sun was bright today and it looked like a more typical New Brunswick winter day, save for the missing metre of snowbank.
For most of this winter, though, we have had bare ground. For most of the time, its been warm enough to rain any time that something had to come out of the sky. Of course, it’d freeze the next day and be treacherous to walk on. And, the ground has been one soupy, muddy mess for the dog to track in, as well.
Its nice that we don’t have to wipe the dog’s feet every time she comes back in the house now.

The lesser good new is….I haven’t written anything in ages.

I’ve tried the beta 3 of the upcoming 3.2 release of WordPress. Wow! Its a lot snappier. The site loads a tad quicker but the biggest speed boost is behind the scenes in the admin panel.
The theme is clean and logical, as well, from what I see. More exploring, I must do.

I know that its been a while since I last wrote anything here. I am languishing with my site, don’t you know? I found this artist on Jamendo and I couldn’t not share. Head on over and have a listen to Bella Ruse. Her lyrics are catchy and her voice is inviting.

CSS Naked day has taken over this site. Remember that I have installed a plugin to take care of ensuring that the style sheet won’t be used during the day of April 9th (one international day – could appear to be 48 hours). Its just a way to promote awareness about the importance of design for everyone. This is the way that a text reader would see my site and, thus, read it to a sight-impaired person, for example.
Read about why I’ve been doing this along with many others here.

That’s the term that I’ll use for this website status. Its been languishing. Is that not a better term than neglected? Ignored?
I wish that I could say that I was doing wonderful and awesome things in the world, but I’m just plugging along. This site has suffered, as a result.
I think that its time for a code overhaul and a redesign (even if its a slight one). This theme has not had any serious structural changes since about the WP 2.6 time. A lot of functionality has crept into the code and I should take advantage of it. Don’t expect any radical visual changes though (but its about time I got the nested comments set up…)
Back to languishing…

Well, I just wanted to share the fun I had driving to work this morning. When I left the house (which has electric heat), the power was out. We aren’t used to that. Apparently, the Utility reports that they will have it back on within the next 1-2 hours. So, my family will be cold and hungry for a while yet. Water pump works on electric…
The closest I could get to show this morning's weather
Ironically, its supposed to be sunny and nice this afternoon. Just saying.
