Well, I’m certainly not going to get rich blogging. Good thing I never planned to.
My blog is worth $5,645.40.
How much is your blog worth?

Hooligan free wedding
Oreo arose from the dead to communicate with me last night and confirm that he did indeed get hitched on Tuesday. With nary a call, email or invite, he went and got married with no Hooligans in sight. Another opportunity for Hooligan celebration missed.
A hearty congratulations to the newlyweds! You owe us a big party though.
Don’t forget your wallet when you move to Wisconsin.
Beta up!
TS Beta (2005) sprouted up off the coast of Nicaragua and looks to be heading inland slowly. May even reach hurricane status before it reaches the coast.
5 weeks left in the season. The tally so far:
Tropical Depressions: 26
Named storms: 23
Tropical Storms: 11
Hurricanes: 12
Major hurricanes: 6 (Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Maria, Rita, Wilma)
Gamma? Delta? I wonder how many more greek letters this year’s season will dig into. This year has already topped the <a href=”http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/NHC‘s revised predictionsfrom August for named storms and hurricanes. There are a couple of areas to watch still in the Atlantic and eastern Carribean. We may just see storms 24 and 25 by the time next week starts.
From this morning’s Tropical Weather Outlook:
A TROPICAL WAVE IS SPREADING CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS OVER THE LESSER ANTILLES… WITH THE MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY NEAR THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER… UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE GRADUALLY BECOMING A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT AS THE WAVE MOVES WESTWARD INTO THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA.
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES. UPPER-LEVEL LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT.
Care and feeding for your laptop battery
Good article over at MobilityGuru about how to get the most out of your laptop battery. Part 1 is mostly about batteries technology and background. More tips to come in Part 2 according to the end of the article. Looking forward to the second part.

Upgrading to MT 3.2
Finally got around to upgrading to MT 3.2. Rather than upgrading the existing installation, I opted to make a copy of the database and a parallel installation of MT. That way, if something went wrong, reverting back to 3.17 would be simple. Fortunately nothing went wrong.
There are a number style sheet changes that will take me a while to integrate into this blog (if ever), but the RunningBlog is using the new templates. I gotta say, StyleCatcher is pretty sweet for grabbing new blog styles (themes in 3.2 now). I’m really liking some of the default styles available. The new interface is nice to work in too. Rebuilds seem to go faster in 3.2 also.
I think once I figure out how the styles are organized, changing the look of the blog is going to be easier to do.
Update: Rats…individual archives are broken. looks like a problem with SCode. Nope, turned out I needed to fix the mtview.php template and rebuild it. Duh.
