Believe it or not, I'm not on hiatus. Just busy. We moved all of our clients from our old co-location provider to our new co-location provider in less than a week, with a few days last week to iron out the inevitable problems. I've been dreaming about compiling different versions of Apache. I signed a deal with Hungry Minds (formerly IDG) to write the Dynamic HTML Bible with Scott Andrew LePera and Eric Costello. I wrote an article for Web Techniques, and another (see the left column) for O'Reilly Network. I've been trying to decipher sendmail's insane configuration file in an effort to block spam. I no longer feel like a pounded turd, but I'm still pretty wiped out from the last week.

Yesterday, I turned thirty-one. Yep, one more year and I'll roll over to six bits. On the positive side, the doctor says we don't have lead poisoning. On the negative side, that doesn't leave much to explain why I've felt like a pounded turd for the past month or so. So, I'll go on the record as saying it was a combination of stress, dengue fever, allergies, and the like that made me spend my 371st month on the planet getting dizzy when I stood up.
