The auto-update feature of my FTP program failed to upload the PoD yesterday and I forgot to do it this morning.

On a personal note, I will be going in for surgery tomorrow. It is a minor operation and it should not affect this site at all. I will let you know how things went tomorrow.

Since CIHost was down again most of the day, I am leaving the PoDs up. Don't know why CIHost is having so many problems. I just checked their homepage and found that today's date is 'Monday January 3, 19100'. Pretty scary!! 

Removed the Christmas Theme. Thinking about a major overhaul of the site which will require redoing all the pages plus removing the frames.

CIHost lost it's domain servers for the last couple of days. This prevented anyone from reaching the site via the site name (vanzandt.net). While the site was still accessible via the numeric address, I don't think that very many people know it. Thus, I did not update the site while CIHost's domain servers were down. 

CIHost has apologized for this problem but as some of you may know, it isn't the first time that I have had trouble with them. However, I have no plans to leave them in the immediate future. When we buy a house, I will get a DSL line installed and keep my own web server at home. While this may add to some problems since I will have to get up to speed on maintaining my own web server, eventually, I feel that the problems will be a thing of the past.

In the mean time, I have fallen behind in the pictures and will put one or two extra out each night until I am caught up.
