Technical Announcement & Flower
Having discovered today that my blog had been hacked by the industrious "anyresults.net" or "spam redirect" hacker, I was alarmed, felt violated (my second assault!), and spent a good part of the day uncovering, understanding, verifying, fixing, and upgrading my version of WordPress. For troubleshooting and help fixing the problem, this page and this video were quite useful.
The upgrade seems to have gone smoothly, and I believe you'll find most things working as expected, but there will be some quirks we likely discover in the next few days, and for those who visit, I'm likely going to update the theme of the blog, too, so there may be periods when the appearance of the blog is odd or temporarily broken. I hope to have all that resolved soon.
In the meantime, enjoy this picture I took last weekend of the amaryllis that friend Barry gave to Isaac for his birthday. The hot red of the flower is striking viewed against the blue wall in the front of our long room.

To thwart spam, comments by new people are held for moderation; give me a bit of time and your comment will show up.
I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing. The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks. Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.

Having experienced being hacked twice, the most recent last June, you have my sympathies. There ought to be a special place in hell for the perps.
The flower is beautiful and the photo excellently done.
