New Weblog
Important: Five Acres With a View has replaced Coffee and Oranges as my primary weblog. Coffee and Oranges will remain as archives.
During the TypePad beta, I decided that I liked Movable Type so well that I would try and figure out how to intall it. Somewhat to my surprise I did so in about six hours on Saturday. I thought it would take me longer. However, it will take a while to get everything set up the way I like it.
I am using the same name that I did for my TypePad beta weblog for my new weblog, however it is now running under movable type.
Please bookmark (add to blogroll, etc) my new weblog. Thanks!

Stormy Weather
We've entered our customary August weather pattern of afternoon storms. In this photo, you can see the veil of rain obscuring the Front Range north of Cheyenne Mountain.
EBay Billing Scam
I just received a copy of EBay Billing Scam email. This senior sleuths website explains how the scam works. This government site gives additional details on how to protect against identity theft. Identity theft occurs when someone appropriates your personal information without your knowledge to commit fraud or theft.

Squidfingers
Squidfingers has a lovely selection of tesselated patterns suitable for use as backgrounds. The patterns come in a range of colors and most are very subtle. I mostly try to generate my own graphics for my web pages, but these are very tempting. Terms of use: Feel free to use any of these patterns on your own site. If you do decide use one, a credit link back to my site is always appreciated.
