(Crossing fingers.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And after months of planning and a month to go, I'm happy with our decision (well, I might change my mind in a minute, I'm &lt;span class="hw"&gt;mercurial like that).

Now, this happens all the time to me. I guess I don't blog frequently enough. I forget my password and sometimes it is just not worth the trouble. Well I clicked on the "Forget password?" link and the screen told me to enter my username and the letters in the picture. A picture was no where to be found on the screen.  Perhaps the people at Xanga had not tested their app on my version of firefox.  Oh, screw it! I had already wasted enough time.
