I am apparently back from my recent trip to Sin City and neighboring Sin Counties down south. I actually came back on April 2nd. A lot of things happened while I was traveling. One of the biggest things you may have seen happening was that I was able to post a single post throughout the duration of this trip. I did answer e-mails, but my posting schedule was disturbed because of A Series of Blamable Events.

I have a lot of things to post regarding things I saw and experienced on this trip. I am going to be posting at least one post daily, and will try to see if I can squeeze in 2 posts on some certain days. I do not want to burden you with too many posts in a single day, as I myself sometimes feel burdened if a site, all of a sudden, started posting more than its regular schedule. Expect a series of posts that talk about different things related to the trip starting from today.

Thank you for keeping in touch all this time. I really appreciate it.

Here is a small update related to leaving comments. I have decided to completely remove moderation of comments on this site. From now on, whether you are commenting for the first time or the 50th time, your comment will be published right away without any moderation or approval from me. I somehow think that making readers wait before their comments are published on my site is something I should avoid. Spam should be taken care of automatically, by the way. If spam does manage to get through, I should know about it when I check the site.

It seems there are always some ways to improve this site. There is a reason why I introduce these site changes in small busts: I try my best to focus all my efforts on making the content on this site better, so once in a while if I have some free time, I try to update the visual and background aspects of this site. I hope the content has gotten only better in the last few months. Please let me know if it has not [ ], and I will try even harder.

I have been having connection issues for this site since last Saturday due to the network it is located on and its interactivity with the Comcast network, which is my current ISP. Because of this, I am unable to submit any online forms or post any message that is larger than a few letters, and uploading files or attachments in emails does not work either. I have to take use of the CAL campus computers to post this.

I guess I will have to make trips to other computers for a while until these issues are resolved. The new poll was supposed to go live on February 10th. I just activated it and you can start voting on the right hand side of any page. I am also running behind a little bit in following up with certain tags and posts that should have been posted already. I am going through them now. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.
