It looks like the comments feature at Snorland has folded, so no more comments for me. Not that I had received any, but hey, you never know. So now if any of my millions of fans have comments, you'll have to keep them to yourselves. OK, I suppose you I could put up a "contact me" link somewhere. Yippee, a chance to learn more html. You know, I learned html years ago, didn't use it and pretty much lost all of my skills until starting this crazy blog.

I'm thinking of switching over to Greymatter and paying for hosting at Greylogs. I know it costs money, but the plans seems reasonable, and I don't mind paying to get working features and stuff. I'll stick with things as they are for a while and see how motivated I am to change after the new year. The other thing that prompted me to look into changing my sitch is this little gem from the Geocities Terms of Service:

...your page may have been suspended for violation of our Terms of Service, if any of the following statements are true:
- Pulling files from your GeoCities account to a location outside of Yahoo! GeoCities, such as auction sites, message boards, and other web sites.
- Using GeoCities for the sole purpose of storing files.
- Nudity/pornography.
- Registering for multiple accounts.
- Using GeoCities for commercial purposes.
- Using GeoCities for hate/defamatory purposes.
- Using your GeoCities home page to redirect visitors to other sites.
- Improperly promoting your website via email, message boards, or instant message (i.e., spam).

Not that I'm doing any of these things, but I was thinking about it. And tell me that a large portion of those with Geocities pages aren't already violating the TOS! Just for the principal, I'd like to get out.

OK, enough ranting.

Last night I learned how to crochet a ripple pattern. I picked up the Leisure Arts booklet, Ripples for Baby (beginner's guide) at JoAnn Fabrics. It was surprisingly easy and I'm not much of a crocheter and have always found the patterns with all of those codes quite intimidating. Now I'm inspired to make a little afghan to donate to Project Linus.
