Minor Changes
I did the HaloScan donation, so soon we will have three times as many characters to work with in commenting. I know that my commenting juices haven't been able to flow as they might have, due to the limits, so this will be an improvement. I also decided to add the HaloScan trackback -- I had that other system earlier, but didn't get much action from it. Now that HaloScan has added a trackback feature, perhaps more people will start using it. In any case, since Mr. Gauche is using trackback, I felt I had to keep up.
To do the donation, I had to do some major surgery to my PayPal account (which I've only used once, to send $1.00, literally). I discovered, much to my delight, that it is possible to use PayPal to pay bills for companies that don't normally allow online bill payment. I've written more checks in the two months that Richard's been gone than I've written in the rest of my life combined, so I'm very happy to be able to pay more things online. Also, as part of the verification process, I've apparently been entered in a lottery to win $1000. The message here: go over and set up a PayPal account. Or actually, please don't, so my odds will be better.
I've been thinking about doing a church-oriented post lately, but the thought is still half-formed. Much of my writing lately has ended up on the CRI General Forum. I used to be one of the most frequent contributors to that board, but I let it go for a couple months -- now, I'm back with a vengeance. It would be interesting if some of my loving readers got involved in the discussion.
