Wow, it’s actually been over 2 months since the last time I posted here. It’s been an insanely busy summer, but with the beginning of the Fall semester things are actually starting to calm down a bit. Our daughter Lela is going to preschool for the first time which has allowed my wife and I to return to a normal schedule. It’s been a little weird to be physically at work every day, but it’s been great to get back to the continuity of a regular 9-5 schedule. Hopefully this will also allow me to give a little more attention to my blog. (among other things)

WordPress 2.8? You might want to wait
As with the last several major revisions, WP2.8 failed to upgrade properly for me. I’m starting to learn that it doesn’t pay to be an early adopter with WordPress. From now on, no upgrades until the first point release.
Lost ARG clues…
Sadly it seems this ARG is unofficial. That’s not to say it’s not worth playing. I’ve enjoyed the creativity shown by the writer(s). Just don’t expect this ARG to have any bearing on the next season.
I’m slowly getting into the new Lost alternate reality game currently running on Twitter and various sites around the internet. This is what I’ve learned so far. I’ll continue to update as I learn more…
@FleurDeNoir = Jacob?
- Jacob’s Bio is simply: “Genesis 27:41”
- Genesis 27:41 reads: So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing that his father had given him. Esau said to himself, “The time to mourn for my father is near. Then I’ll kill my brother Jacob.”
- Jacob seems to be hinting at his return or rebirth
@elliotgraves = Elliot Graves
- an overworked Ajira Air employee whose brother recently disappeared (like his father and grandfather before him…)
- Simeon Hobbes is somehow linked to the disappearance of all 3
- all 3 Graves men appear to have joined a secretive group (dharma?) related to Widmore Industries
@simeonhobbes = Simeon Hobbes (follower of Jacob?)
- involved in the recruitment of members of the secretive group mentioned above
- exceptionally long-lived (dharma life extension program? or gift of Jacob?)
@epithetalpha = Aidoneus (Jacob’s nemesis)
- Aidoneus is a pseudonym for Hades
