With the new look comes new features. A few weeks ago I placed a link to “listen” to this blog. Well here is the new “improved” link.

RSS Feeds fixed… sort of
Well I’ve fixed the RSS feed problem, but know that has created some other minor problems. Seems the problem was created by my “permalinks” setting, whatever that is. Now the blog and RSS feeds work but the old address of http://blog.thuis.us does not. I’ll have to look into this permalink thing more. I think this may be what causes some of the problems with link on the main Thuis.us portal page.

New Blog Up And Running
Well for those who visit regularly you can really see the difference in the new look to the blog. Still having a few problems, but I really like not using third party software and running this thing myself. If I can get all the settings correct I think I’ll stay with this format for awhile. If you have an input either way please leave me a comment.
One of the biggest problems I have, is with the RSS feed. Seems to be some error in the code somewhere that I just haven’t found, yet. I’ll keep working the issue as I get time and I’ll let you know when it is fixed. For those of you who used to subscribe to the old feed via RSS now would be a good time to go ahead and unsubscribe.
What is this? A new look?
We yes it is. I have been using blogger.com since day 1 to publish the blog. Now for some reason I have not been able to update the blog for nearly a week. At least not without forcing it. So now I’ve moved the blog onto my own server. I’ll be trying this out for awhile to see if there is any thing massively different from a third party tool to running my own blog.
Site Problems
For some reason I am having problems uploading items to my site. Looks like a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) issue. This primarily effects this blog as this is how I get my entries out for everyone to see. I’ll continue putting items out here, and you can leave comments, but there may be some delay in them showing up on the site itself. If anyone else who utlizes FTP on the Thuis.US server is having problems, please email me and I’ll send you the secondary server address. That may help in the short term.

Man what a week…
It has been quite a busy week and it is not even over with yet…
Friday, 11 April – Cold and snowy today. Got tickets for Sundays Sky Sox Game… Looking forward to opening weekend. Tried to pick-up some box seat tickets the Sox are donating to the school, but they can’t be located. Pack Pinewood derby prep. Spent most of the afternoon and evening at Sand Creek High School setting up track, weighing cars etc. Home 10:00pm
Saturday, 12 Apr -Up at 6:00 A.M. and off to Sand Creek High School. Races start at 8:30 AM and of course I am the M.C. Race goes until about 11:00 AM… Assisted with clean-up. Again, the same handful of parents help… Getting a bit tired of this scout stuff. Off to birthday party at Skate City at noon lasts until 2:00 P.M. Home for a quick nap the out for dinner.
Sunday, 13 Apr – The wife heads off early this morning to Fort Worth, TX for another class for work. Only two more or so to go. The boy and I head off with friends (the Waller’s) to Sky Sox for opening weekend. Double header today due to the first game of the season being canceled due to “wind chill” (never heard that before). Sunny today, it’s only in the high sixties but feels warmer. Looks like the Rockies stole most of the good players this year, as I only recognize a few names on the field. Great seats on the third base line “right on the rail”. Sox with one loss and one win. Tried to pick up donated tickets after the game, still a no go.
Game #1 L Tacoma, 7-11, Game #2 W Tacoma, 6-1
Monday, 14 Apr – Man I feel like dookie today. Probably dehydrated from being outside yesterday, and my face is sunburned (yes, I put on sun block). Got a ton of Scout stuff done today, but it doesn’t feel like much. Scheduled an appointment with a veteran’s employment counselor to help look for a new job, so that’s some thing.
Tuesday, 15 Apr – Finally got the tickets for the four box seats for the school. Going to give them away Saturday at the school carnival in a sports basket. Thanks to Mr. Eddy, Sky Sox Community Relations, for the donation. Drop them off at the school along with a few items we borrowed for the Pinewood derby. Back home to coordinate some last minute details for a Cub Scout Roundup (recruiting drive) we are having next week at the school. Pride Assembly at the school @ 2:50 PM, the boy wasn’t recognized this time for anything, but I still like to go.
Wednesday, 16 Apr – I wake up with one of the worst headaches I think I’ve had in recent history. Maybe I am still dehydrated. Not good news as I have an appointment with my employment counselor today at 10:30. After a late start and some Aleve I drop the boy off at school and head of for my appointment. Appointment went really well. A lot of options. My counselor is really nice. Resume is good. Might try some free training to help look for a good job. Headed off to Peterson, AFB commissary for some grub. Then finally home after picking up the boy from the bus.
Today, 17 Apr – A bit of cold weather and snow this morning caused a two hour school delay. After getting the boy off to school I spent most of the day cleaning the house. It wasn’t that bad, but the wife will be home tomorrow night and I know the house wasn’t up to “standards”. Sky Sox would like to set-up the school with a new reading program they are doing this year where they donate tickets for a certain amount of time spent reading, so I sent that off to the school. Decided to have a bit of fun tonight and the boy and I went to the swimming pool on Peterson AFB for family night.
