So, after having crazy posting issues and being on the phone for a long time with the damn people that support my little blog, I have some good news and some bad news.  The problem was that I had noticed that my posts were delayed being published on the net by HOURS after I originally posted them (those that subscribed are lucky because they didn't have the issues) as well as my posts being deleted before they were even published.  Granted I was in my sporadic posting mode but still I was peeved at the fact that I wasn't able to publish immediately.  So after being on the phone with the damn mouthpiece who could only tell me that "he can't control the internet traffic and when something is being posted", I asked to speak to a supervisor who then took the time to look at the problem who said that, "due to the overwhelming traffic, my server and certain hosting features need to be updated".  Of course the only thing I could understand in his sentence was "overwhelming traffic".  Now while it's not like mind-blowing numbers, apparently the plan that I had paid for when I set up this thing isn’t equipped for something that I don’t quite understand and is making everything wack.  That’s the good news!  Again, I get dumbfounded by the views I get on this thing.  Now, I know they say it’s bad to always check on that but in the last 2 weeks with the crazy schedule I’ve had and not being able to post as much, I wanted to see if I had alienated any readers with my infrequent postings.  I appreciate the fact that people take the time to read my ruminations and will promise to go back to my frequent, interesting writing style that got people to start reading this thing in the first place.  The bad news is that due to my schedule and ignorance to what exactly I have to do, I won't be able to update everything until probably Wednesday of next week.  I could do it earlier but nocturnal event on Monday and Tuesday that will take me away and need to coerce a tech savvy male to assist in my blog improvements.  So after I spent 2 good hours on Thursday writing about my brackets, the post the program I wrote it on FROZE AND KNOCKED OFF ANYTHING I HAD IN MY DRAFT SECTION.  I was pissed to say the least.  So below I present to you, since my ability to post a PDF in good viewing quality is non-existent, my picks.
