Long, hot day at the courthouse. The UPS set up in #3 was like working in a kiln.

Shaved ice of the day – BHK got “Darth Vader / sugar free cherry mix”. I think the black syrup is just black cherry. BHK’s big fear was that it’d be licorice. (Thank goodness for samples!) – I got the Mudslide, and it was good, but not my absolute fave… I suspect that I’ll hit something more fruity / citrus in the future.

Went to Adam & Jimmy’s Graduation with BHK and TM (met the inlaws there). It was a rather dull proceeding, but I’m glad to have attended. The opening speeches were varied, and I was impressed by the Valedictorian’s address. (A much better speaker than the principal or any of the others)

I keep getting little nudges to try twitter, but I can’t seem to find the oomph to roll into it. Maybe I’ll set up a little window on my homepage or somewhere that just runs with it.

Speaking of email nudges, more and more porn spam on my lj. I think that I’ve reported about 3 dozen in the last week or so. I suppose that the big censorship screw up ( see latest news entry - http://news.livejournal.com/99159.html ) will cause the pendulum to swing in the other direction for a bit, and make it more difficult to stop actual spam advertisers. No biggie… all anony-comments are screened for my approval anyhow.

I was surprised a bit by flying blind’s entry (http://flying-blind.livejournal.com/1075154.html) , as I’d not heard anything about it on lj dev, business or other arenas beforehand. Maybe it’s time to host my own journal on my own domain? I’ve got all my old entries and even comments archived, and it wouldn’t be too dear to migrate them over to scottobear.com . The only functionality would be the huge amount of bandwidth that some of the links generate might make me have to step up my allotment.

I hope that if anyone is doing anything illegal and hurtful to children that they are punished to the fullest extent of the law.

I don't feel too badly about the kiddie porn folk... the free speech issue is trumped when actual people are hurt. My sympathies lie with survivors of trouble that were persecuted.

I used little stars to replace letters in certain words I didn't want LJ to pick up, but then used all the letters in one of the words, anyway.

Oops. So I just deleted it, because it's in your email now anyway.
