Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

So tonight Jon (AKA of fishing website FISHING FURY), Angela, and I start Systema. If you don't know what that is, check out this Google video showing a series of strikes and takedowns.

With my brain on its way to working better (still a long way to go), I'm also going to yoga with Saira (and maybe German longsword with her and Amanda), as well as weight training with Jon. There's some other people who have said they're interested in various ones of these, so the true list of people is probably a little bigger. If you're in Toronto and want to join us, drop me a line.

Other than that, the 2TB NAS for IAM should be installed quite shortly (tonight, tomorrow). I think I can move over to it (and significantly improve speed and allow for more users) without having to take the site down, but I will have to turn off image uploading. You'll still be able to post entries, but without pictures. I'll post about though in detail when I can tell you something more solid. We're doing our best to get it down before I leave for Chicago, but there is a small chance it gets stalled until Tuesday. Actually now that I think about it, Tuesday is better — what if there's a problem when I'm unreachable for a few days… So… let's make it official.

IAM may be briefly offline on Tuesday (April 25th), and picture editing functions will be offline for an extended period (because I'd rather turn off posting pictures for 36 hours than turn the box off completely for 12 hours).
