Just when you thought no one reads

I can't believe it has been a week since my last blog entry. Ok, I can believe it, but that doesn't make it right.

I was surprised to look in my email and see a comment to my last blog entry waiting to be moderated. I know some folks were reading this when we hosted it on our own web site, but I didn't know there were those who read it now.

It was a great comment - especially considering the content was plagiarized. I did credit it to an email I received, but it's not like it was original content.

Here are a few updates in the world of "Davedom."

• The diet ended as quickly as it started and will probably start again soon. I heard on the radio that scientists in Louisiana (Yes, we have those in this state) have debunked the idea that it takes diet AND exercise to lose weight. It's more of an either/or thing. Both won't get you faster or better results in the weight loss category.

Personally, I prefer physical exertion to food deprivation. I just need to find project that will help me exert more energy without becoming bored, or killing me because I'm out of shape at the moment. Then it's "bring on the ribeye and baked potato with extra butter."

• The blog and website have gone through some trying times in the past few weeks. For some reason, we have become so popular that we are overloading the servers of our hosting company. This is why my blog was moved from our server to blogger. While my blog by itself didn't send things crashing down, I'm sure it could have been a factor, so why take any chances? However, the popularity of the site and the problems it brings are a good thing, right? Now we just have to make money so we can host ourselves with good enough equipment to do all the things we want -- which would include podcasts, video streams, and all kinds of extras.

• I am truly proud of the folks over at the Minden Press-Herald. Their Profile 2007 Edition is AWESOME. Not only is it the largest edition in history, it is the best. Excellent work, folks.

It would be great to learn who reads this blog. So, feel free to leave a comment -- even if it is "Hi, I read it."

Thanks for reading,

May the Blog be with you
