Bugging me
I’m still a novice at working with this website stuff but I have become a bit more cluey over the last couple months. Now that I have slightly more of an idea of what I am doing, I have figured out my mistake when I installed WordPress. I intended it to be in the subdomain blogs with a directory of tmi instead of /blogs/tmi and whatever.
Although I have no plans to change blogging software, I’ve been playing around with Movable Type, mostly to see if I could do an installation on my own. I tried this quite a while back and was confused so put it aside until recently. I set up a different subdomain and installed the latest Movable Type and it works just fine. It’s quite a sense of accomplishment. I am especially satisfied that it’s done properly so that it appears under its subdomain. I don’t know if I will create any permanent blogs with Movable Type, but I like the look of the interface and it seems easier to use than the Typepad one for some reason. Perhaps Typepad is using an older version of Movable Type.
To get back to this blog…I am itching to fix the subdomain problem here because it is bugging me and I know that I can do it properly. At least I think I can.
Update: Have redone the blog more satisfactorily under the subdomain at this new url. The old will be deleted in a few weeks.

Blogging absence
Seems I’ve not been able to blog for one reason or another lately. Mostly, I’ve not felt terribly inspired but hopefully that will change soon. I think maybe it’s a matter of just sitting down and writing a bit.
Life’s going pretty well at the moment. We still have the issue that turned our lives upside down a while back to be resolved. It’s out of our hands right now and it’s really just a matter of time. It’s not affecting us so much on a daily basis but the resolution will be a good thing.
We are at the start of our winter here and it’s been pretty wet so far. I’ve been working on a crocheted afghan I started a couple years ago for Lego Lover. He’s no longer interested in this particular project but I’d like to finish it before starting something new. I had a bit of a spurt today and got through about three small balls of yarn. It’s going to be a very imperfect project because I seem to have lost stitches on one side over several rows but it will be unique and will just be for home anyway. With the cold, wet weather, I should be more motivated to keep going but mostly I’ve been working on it while the Game Fanatic is at Dungeons and Dragon’s on alternating Sundays. Today, I broke out of the rut and worked on it in the evening while we were playing the Zelda game for the Wii that we got a year and a half ago. I quit mainly due to tiredness and soreness from the repetitive motion.
I’m not sure if it’s weather-related but I seem to have acquired lots of aches and pains lately. I’ve had some instability with both my kneecaps and now my shoulder is hurting again. The other sort of arthritic pains have also reappeared.
This past week, we saw my mother-in-law off on a holiday. She will be leaving on a cruise this evening from England for over week, I think. It’s her first cruise so I hope she has a great time. Afterwards she will be visiting her sister for a few months. We also welcomed back my father-in-law, who has been in Sri Lanka for some time. I had a chance to chat with him at length when we went to visit and he was very chatty compared to usual.
I was going to write more but I’m not feeling particularly well at the moment so will try to save my thoughts for more regular posts.

Trackballs and websites
I ordered a trackball in February from a local retailer, eventually received it, then discovered the wrist rest that was supposed to be included wasn’t. The wheels moved quite slowly for resolving the issue and I had to follow up several times because communication is not exactly a strong point of the retailer. The trackball had been shipped directly from the supplier and that’s where the hold up was…Anyway, last week, I finally received another trackball and will be able to keep the original too. I took the wrist rest and the Scientist has taken the new trackball to use with his new notebook computer. It took awhile but satisfaction was achieved.
