On Tuesday, I went to take a shower like I normally do. Water wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t hot. I finished and got out, then went down to the water heater. Pilot light was out. OK – relight and move on, which is what I did.

Wednesday the shower was once again not that hot. I figured it was because I didn’t turn up the heater to the regular level. I left it alone, but found out later the pilot light went out again.

It has been a long day. It all started yesterday when we began the process of moving a website to a different server so I could put up the new version of said site. All heck seemed to happen after that.

We’ll leave the water heater out of this story, let’s just say I have taken 3 cold showers in the last 3 days. YAY!

I have found I not only hit the limit on my website, I went WAYYYY past it. I had to remove 2/3rds of the podcasts just to get under quota. I am not sure what happened – but now I am on the hunt for a service to store the data. Once it finds a new home, I will make all adjustments. For now – Episodes 1-52 of the weekly podcast and the first 24 Quickcasts / 5 min show. are down.

So in momentus fashion, I offer this week’s Bitstrips to use part of an old favorite Edgar Allen Poe poem to create the scene and this week’s comic. Enjoy. (BTW – no Week in Tech History for the weekend due to the podcast space problem. Sorry).

Happy Halloween!!
