After nearly six years of providing free hosting, Userland has announced that they’re going to turn off the free EditThisPage servers today. And that, of course, includes my old site, Defenestration Corner.

Thanks to Lawrence Lee at Userland, I have a full copy of my site in Manila’s native form; I’ve also used XML-RPC to grab all of the content as XML files. Now all I have to do is finish writing a program to repost the content here.

I got sucked into joining Amazon Prime while we were ordering textbooks for Jeff this summer, and ever since, I’ve been checking Amazon whenever I needed anything, because, after all, two-day shipping is free!

For no particular reason, I decided to see what their pricing was for Charmin, and was happy to not see any prices quoted for “used” goods. I think it’s still cheaper to buy on sale in the store, too.

But I have to give bad marks to ToiletPaperWorld.com, who runs an ad on the results page for this particular search — if you click through to them with Safari or Firefox, you get a page telling you that they don’t support anything but IE. That, my friends, is a crappy attitude.
