Here are some tidbits of life, geekery and what-not:

• I may, in fact, have been able to salvage the images from the old gallery after all. (First I thought I had them, then I figured I’d lost them, now I think I have them again. We’ll see…)
• On top of being unemployed, rent is going up. Whee. As a side note, I have about a month of money left. Also, whee.
• The kids came over today, and we took the opportunity to introduce Kylanath to Settlers of Catan. She had herself a fine, fine streak of Beginner’s Luck Skill and won herself the game. Go figure. (Mind you, the kids both were one point away from winning when the end came. Go, kids!)
• It’s possible that the firewall trick I used to potentially prevent brute-force login attacks on this webserver is responsible for the server’s periodic unavailability this past week. I’m going to try another technique and see what happens.
• The job opportunity I really had my hopes up for seems to have dried up completely. That’s a damned shame, really, ’cause I wanted that job badly, and not just because, you know, I’m freaking out about finances. Grr.
• I’m hanging in there. Barely sometimes, though.

I could really, really stand for something good to happen. You know, just for the variety.
