Heard through the grapevine. Twitter *may* have peaked in March, 2009.

Update: June 26, 2009 Someone said, "approximately 60% of new Twitter users do not return much, if at all after initial sign-up". I bet the numbers are similar for many of the on-line watering holes.

Since I no longer live in Southern California, no need to be concerned over June-gloom, or the Santa Ana winds, or the earthquakes.

But today is June 1st, and that marks the start of another hurricane season for Floridians. Time for the 24/7 news tracking of every tropical depression that forms in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Florida straits, and the Gulf of Mexico. From now until early November those depressions just keep forming, and threatening a very broad area of the globe. Here is hoping each depression tries its best to remain a depression and does not grow up to be a hurricane. The predictions are for an average to below average season. Hope so. Still, we expect the weather reporting barrage to be as relentless as ever. It doesn't matter which US state we reside in, each has its own time and form of violent weather. We just weather on with Mother Nature calling the shots.

Living on the big peninsula this time of year means stocking/re-stocking water and non-perishable food to last for 72 hours, First-Aid kit, clothing, blue tarps, plywood, battery operated radios, flashlights and batteries. Throw in some extra cash and a full tank of gas. We have been spared pretty much since 2004. Looking for more of the same, kind treatment. Please.

Switched back to the Simpler theme after updating to the latest Habari release.

After much tweaking, searching, tweaking, searching, I found this post at Fun with Habari which helped me sort out some issues I was having with the monthly archives plugin. It is now working better in the Simpler theme. We have the correct year, and month, but all the day/dates are still reported as 31. Will revisit later, time permitting. Good enough for now.

If you are using Monthly Archives, but only seeing December listed, and seeing URLs with {year} in them, this pointer may help.
