You'll see a preview here of how this blog will look once I move it. I was intending to do it this evening, but the file paths on Fateback are a bit complex, and I need to figure them out first. So for now, the front page is how I plan to make things look.

I'll be moving this blog soon... I took poster Danielle's suggestion and set-up an account on Fateback.
As I said before, I've been happy at Angelfire. This has been my server for about a year since Freeservers started charging for FTP use (thus making the 'free' in their name a lie). I just feel the need to go to a popup-free site, and I can't really afford a domain and hosting right now.
I'm using this as reason to redesign this site again. I'm hoping I'll be satisfied with the results.

This week's questions interested me. From Friday Five:
What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
The short answer is: I'm multi-generation Canadian.
The long answer: Eastern Europe. Poland, Russia and Romania. Ironically, folks always think my origins are Mediterranean.
Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
Definitely Romania. Possibly Russia too. I'd just like to see the border area where my grandparents came from, Bysarabia.
Which would you least like to visit? Why?
Paradoxically, the answer would be Russia as well. Mainly because of the religious persecution and the pogroms.
Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
Not really, because I don't really know much about the cultures.
Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
My grandparents on both sides. My dad's parents came from the Russian and Polish areas, my mom's parents from Romania.

I'm not as obssessed with blogging as I thought. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing...

I'm getting restless about this Webhost again... maybe it's due to all the blog designs that I've been seeing through NextBlog lately, maybe I'm just hankering for a new design...
Angelfire has been a solid host - the popup banner is a bit annoying obviously - but maybe I should move to Blogspot? Or, maybe I should just redesign my template top to bottom... reader opinions?

Nothing like a good bit of political thrashing to interest the soul.

I updated my Spinner radio program today to version 4.0. Since I'm still on dial-up internet, it isn't advantageous to stay connected all the time... but the sound quality was still good, with no buffering slow downs.
I started on the All Jazz channel. I tried one or two others briefly, but came back to the jazz quickly. :=]
