Yeah, it is starting to get very annoying.  No internet blows.  Things are apparently working though, as I had my mom check if the internet was working; she says that the indicator is solid, meaning I'm back in business.  I'm going to return home tomorrow and get back to work.

I don't really know of anything interesting going on.  Well, one interesting fact is that my site is now almost past the 1,000,000 rank on Alexa.  This is very good considering the fact that only a week ago I was ranked around 1,900,000.  I'm going to write a few more articles, and try to get out one more good one before the end of this month.  Right now I'm looking to end the month on 300 unique visitors, but maybe I can get it up to around 400.  I know that Sierra has visited my site at least 16 times.

I've been reading up on my old college book, Simon & Schuster Handbook for Writers, for ways to improve my writing. Making a good effort to read the entire sections about punctuation has really led me to find how many bloggers are doing so much wrong.  I must admit that I too am guilty of some things I have read.  Correct apostrophe usage is something I have more than likely abused.  I know I have placed "it's" instead of "its" a few times too many in writing.

It could be worse!  I do know I will continue to improve my writing, as it is a good skill to have!

It appears Facebook is dying a slow and horrible death for some reason.  I don't have any idea why.  First a few buttons failed to work, then some pages were loading slowly.  Now the poking functionality isn't working at all, and peoples names are disappearing.

I wondering if I'm witnessing database corruption or who knows what.

Oh well, Facebook has done well so far; thus making sense that they are only the 10th ranked site on Alexa (as of  the time of this writing.)

So other than that, I just returned home from my sister's place.  That was nice to spend some time there before she starts taking classes for her nursing program.  Though while I was there, I was missing work and wanted to get back home to write up some more articles.  I am now back home, and finally posted my first review for Tech In Demand, which is about Windows Live Writer.  In short, it is an excellent application from Microsoft. (Yes, I did say Microsoft for crying out loud).

I got even more goodies to post up on Tech In Demand.  I have articles coming in the dozens: Firefox extensions, Ubuntu guide, system security guide, online backup, Facebook, Dash review, Miro review, game consoles breakdown, and much more to finish up.

Regardless, it is almost approaching 5 AM and I must hit the sack so I can wake up and get some work done.  I hope that Sierra will have a wonderful time starting her new classes tomorrow.  I hope that I will survive another day of work in this wacky world of technology we live in.
