A couple thoughts

Movable Type is losing a user.
How common is your name?

First, bad news on the weblog software front. The people who wrote the software I am using (Movable Type) have decided to charge for the next version. I don’t have any problem with the concept of being paid for the work you do it is just they have set the bar pretty high. Seventy dollars (to become 90 eventually) for a weblog for 5 authors and only 5 weblogs total, that is one per person there. Considering this is coming from free for as many authors and weblogs you want it is just too much. There is a free version but it only allows one author and three weblogs, that does not work for us since Kathleen is now posting entries also.

The other thing is wimsical, I poking and found this interesting little bit of trivia this evening:

We all started from one fellow in the mid 1600’s named Timen Stiddem. There are actually a lot of other descendents of Timen’s who have slightly different last names. Wow.
