You may have noticed that during the holidays here, I haven’t exactly posted much.  That’s because my birthday is New Years Eve and well, besides the normal holiday things, I’ve been busy with stuff.  Such is life, especially in these trying economic times.

But fret not.  Soon InsanIT.net will come to life once more with its usual verve.

So I’m on holiday.  If you couldn’t tell.  Blogging is on hold.

Sorry.

Faithful InsanIT.net readers may have noticed that there haven’t been any new blogs in over a week.  Sorry about that.  I really meant to do better, but I’ve been working a lot of overtime and simple things like email and web comics fell to the wayside.  Blogging went right out.  Sorry.

The good news is I just finished the project and hopefully will not be needing to put in overtime anymore.  And I even have a three day weekend.  I might almost be sane for my 4th of July blog entry. 

The bad news is that I really am quite mentally wiped at the moment, so until I’m back up to speed, blogs may not be quite as interesting as usual.  Sorry.

You may have noticed that blog entries aren’t going up quite as regularly as usual lately.

That’s because I’m on vacation.

Well … sort of.

If by vacation you mean working on refinishing the kitchen whilst simultaneously rebuilding my wife.

Oh, and dealing with those pesky wisdom teeth, one of which has rotted out from a cavity and crumbled apart.

Yeah.

Vacation.

Anyway, I’m not dead.  I just wish I were. 

So my faithful readers have probably noticed by now that there’s been a ever so slight change in the appearance of InsanIT.net. I thought it was time to make the place look a little more professional to match my mood. The old layout was nice and all, but I think you’ll find the new InsanIT.net to be even more functional than before. (Plus the fluid layout means no more wasted space.)

The mascots have been retired to … well … wherever mascots go when they get retired. But don’t fear! I’m sure they’ve gone to a much better place.

For those who don’t know, the blue is Commodore 64 dark blue and the green is old Apple monitor light green.   Heh heh.  Silly, I know, but I’m an old geek.  Put up with me.

Other than that, it’s still pretty much the same old InsanIT.net. Mostly because I’m more-or-less the same old Arah. I think. Last time I checked anyway…

So enjoy. Have fun. The posts will still all be the same mixture of crazy instances and uses of technology in today’s world combined with serious issues for those times when, you know, life is serious.
