What I Think Of When I See “88”

When I see “88” I think of the used Olds my dad bought back in the mid-80s. That thing was a tank. I drove it to college (St. Joseph College in West Hartford CT) one time, and I got this “Go ahead, cut me off, I’ll run you over, [bad word]” attitude. I felt invisible, which is probably not a good thing when you’re behind the wheel.

But what I don’t think of is the high temperature for May 11th. Which is what my Yahoo weather is telling me. I think I need to face facts and find some more of my summer clothes. I really need to go shopping, too. Not for a lot, but some basics. I’m still wearing pants that are too baggy on me, and I need some summery stuff. Enough with the heavy dark clothing, right?

Blogger Updates

As was noted in some of the technology feeds (Reuters comes to mind) Google released an updated version of Blogger this week, which FINALLY includes internal commenting code. I think I’m going to do it, but it does change the structure of archives, etc.

One of the things I’m trying to figure out is if the comment text lives on my server or theirs. I think it lives right with the blog page, so that means on my server.

The other is how to manage individual *page* archives for a high-volume blog. It’s not my preferred method of archiving, to be sure.

[Update: Well, that seems to have gone fairly well. Only time will tell.]
