Administrivia Jet Lag Edition
Success! Well, mostly. My trip to Kansas City for KansasFest 19 (basically a summer camp for computing Geeks centered around but not exclusive to the Apple II) had no delayed flights and no lost luggage and I successfully announced (but have not yet released) a new software product and won a programming contest as well as had my usual way too exhaustive fun time. My long time roommate Kirk and I did again do the opposite of winning the door sign contest; I think I’ve won every single contest and gotten every possible recognition there except for the door sign. In the meantime, I was also able to maintain our daily posting schedule, thanks in large part to a timely contribution from Kyle over at Rather-Be-Shopping.
I did, however, apparently manage to misplace my earbuds on the way home and not get in much of any exercise while I was gone. I’ll work harder.
I’m off from my day job for another week so I’ll work on catching up in many ways, including cleaning up around here (which is likely going to take way more time than this), doing some thank yous and get wells, checking my P.O. box, and doing work on the blog.
Some blog specific notes:
A review of the (I’m sure) horrible portfolio performance of June is coming, even though it’s almost August. In fact, I’m sure a July one will also be done.
The 5% Plan updates have stopped because I had to replace my truck’s battery which reset my mileage counters, following being out of town for a week. The updates will resume, probably in about two weeks.
I have to do a few more blog changes, including adding a badge for referral from a top referral source. Behind the scenes, I need to automate billing for advertisers too.
Finally, I have a bunch more ING Direct and Virtual Bank referrals; if you’re interested in opening a new account and getting more bucks, just let me know!
