For the past several weeks I have been traveling daily through construction zone where one lane is closed.  As annoyed as I am that this has taken so long, I'm happy to report that this morning it entertained me.  There is one of those large portable display signs with a radar unit that tells you your speed as you approach it.  It also tells you to slow down.  Or as it appeared to read to me as I drove past it this morning "Slow Dowm".  Maybe my brain wasn't functioning this morning and this is just a figment of my imagination,  In any case I will have to verify this tomorrow morning.

I did confirm this morning that it does indeed say "Slow Dowm"!  I tried to snap a picture with my camera phone this morning, but I was too far away from the sign.  I'll try to remember again on Monday when I go past it…

I tried and tried —at least six times to get a snapshot of this sign.  But we had a very windy day last week and the sign got turned sideways.  Then a couple of days later they towed it away.  :(  And the best part is that the left lane STILL isn't open!!!

I've had this link for quite a while now, but the point is still just as relevant now as it was when I found it.  It's this sort of brain-dead thinking by the people behind or a part of this organization that continue to prove that Darwin was right.  

You know, General Zod might be just the supreme control that this country needs right now.  Oh, wait…we've basically got a dictator now, don't we.

The next release of PolarBlog, "Homing Pigeon" is complete!  I still need to finish updating the documentation and get it packaged for release, but other than bug fixes, I'm done coding.  This new release is now running on this blog so if you experience any problems, please let me know: kevinp AT polarlava.com.  I would think that this should be released in the next couple of weeks.

The primary focus of this release was posting by email.  But there are a number of other changes also: A major rewrite of the install/update utility, multi-section blogroll (see right navigation), optional pinging on entry add/update, separation of entry title and edit text CSS, some minor security enhancements and database performance improvements.

I've made a few changes to my website…

1. I've updated the FAQ page.
2. I've unlinked the Links page.
3. I've unlinked the RSS Feeds page.
