Once more trying to get Wordpress to tweet my blog posts with URL-shortening by bit.ly. I think it will work this time.

Update: It works!

I am sort of back from hiatus. Kind of.

I got the site updated to latest Wordpress, something I’ve been meaning to do for . . . um . . . a year now? Also added Twitter to the right hand sidebar and fixed the Wishlist page, which broke on August 17th, 2009, when Amazon started requiring all Web Service requests to be signed.

I’ll be making changes to the Blogroll over the next few days. There are lots of places I want to add, and I want to add a category of frivolous fun sites.

Also, I made the site mobile-accessible. Actually, I think I did, and I did it a few months ago. It looks alright on my Blackberry Bold, but I don’t have any other phones with which to test it. I’d like to know how it shows on an iPhone, if anyone cares to test it out for me.

I’ve been so very busy. Graduating from law school, then preparing for the bar. The bar is in a week and a half (last Tues-Thurs in July) and I’m starting to feel the stress. I’m also just now in the middle of a house move which must be completed by the day after the last day of the bar exam, so that’s a bit stress-inducing there, too. So I’m still going to be gone for a while. I hope in August to get up to one post a week again, and we’ll see how it goes.

In the meanwhile, I need to figure out how to use this “twitter” thing. I have a username (some git already took Qwertz, so I got stuck with the terribly unimaginative Qwertz0 [that's a zero]), but I need to know who to follow. So give me in the comments a big long list of interesting folks to follow on the twitter-o-blag.

I have been busy. Very busy indeed. First, I spent much of the summer working for a local judge. I can’t tell you which one. It was a wonderful experience and I got to work on a variety of cases. Classes started two weeks ago and I am getting back into the swing of things. I recently applied for a job with the Federal government: as a judicial clerk. It’s highly competitive. I do hope I get one.

So I’ve managed to neglect my blog for most of the summer, which was not my intention. Now that I am back on a somewhat less hectic and rather more regular schedule, I hope to be able to make at least one post a week about something interesting. There’s so much to talk about, and so very little time.

I set up a camera to watch my rosebush. You can see a live picture of my rosebush here or by clicking on the little rosebush sitting on the W in the header. The camera watches 24/7. If you’re lucky, you might catch me watering it some time.
