Major Mike’s Musings

I recently upgraded Subscribe2, the plug-in that supports email subscribers to Major Mike’s Musings. With short posts, subscribers will get the entire text to the post. With long posts or ones in which I insert a “read more” break, subscribers will get a partial post and must visit this blog in order to read the whole thing. Thank you, subscribers.UPDATE: Evidently, the hack I had on this blog interfered with the sending of these email notifications. I’m working on it.

This site was hacked and hijacked by EmN. I have been away from monitoring Major Mike’s Musings for a few days so I don’t know how long the site’s been down. I had to go directly to the database to delete the hijacking entries.

President Bush will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow. After having gone through one myself, I can assure you that by tomorrow he will not be “full of it” at least until late tomorrow.

I just saw on Fox News that Charles Shaw Chardonnay, commonly known as “Two Buck Chuck” because it sells for $1.99 at Trader Joe’s won top honors at the California State Fair wine competition, beating out hundreds of other wines. Go Chuck, go!

Thanks to some periodontal surgery I had today, I’m just kickin’ back, watching TV, reading, and playing on my computer. I’ve upgraded my local blog, which is my test site for this one. The Wordpress latest version is 2.2.1, but I’m not having much luck with some of the sidebar widgets–those things that display the content in the sidebars–so I haven’t upgraded this blog, yet. I’m also playing around with new themes. None are exactly what I want, so I’ve had to do a little programming. Anyway, that’s how I’ve been killing time today since I’m not allowed to do any heavy lifting or sports for the next two days.
