There’s a very good chance that the website will go offline for up to five hours later today.
It’s due to maintenance and upgrades being performed by my server hosting company. Their advice to me is as follows:
We would like to remind you and the contacts on your account of an upcoming change we will be making to the (gs) Grid-Service platform. This will result in unavailability of your services during this Maintenance Window, which is 02-08-2008@9:00 PM to 02-09-2008@2:00 AM Pacific Time.
So don’t panic, we’ll be back shortly….

You can get a Saab 9-7x for ten bucks in Colorado!!!!
OK, it’s only if you buy a ticket in a raffle being run by Colorado State University.
It’s being supported by Tynans Saab and makers of that evil impersonator of a cola, Pepsi.
You’ve got a 1-in-5000 chance of taking home a 9-7x. Not a bad use of $10 and maybe you’ll help the school a little as well. The raffle will be drawn on March 1.

Is this going to clog up Ebay like…….. a really big thing that clogs up things?
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry’s top-selling manufacturer-certified used vehicle brand*, announced it has reached an agreement to collaborate in a variety of areas with eBay Motors (www.ebaymotors.com), the Internet’s largest marketplace for buying and selling all things automotive, to support the 3,900-plus GM Certified Used Vehicles dealers in the U.S.
As a first step, GM Certified Used Vehicles commits to list their entire national inventory on eBay Motors at no cost to dealers. The agreement provides exposure of GM Certified Used Vehicles dealer inventory in a classified listings format to more than 11 million unique eBay Motors visitors a month.
I guess it’s a good thing, but isn’t there multiple thousands of these things hanging around at any given time? I guess there’s thousands upon thousands of cars on there already. It just seems like a huge increase in one hit.

And is my website really advertising giant bloomers?????
the drawing is only a 2.5-hour drive for me; although, you don’t have to be there to win. so, my check will be in the mail.
Unfortunately, the Yahoo luxury car segment was poorly researched. They list the 9-3 2.0T Convertible as starting at $26000.
Hey — and do you remember ctm’s comment about my Saab banner ads? He observed (rightly so) that my Saabist surfing habits resulted in the Saab banner ads on the pages that I read. The advertising reflected my interests.
Don’t you think that’s what’s happened with the “big bloomers” advertisement? Someone is interested in big underwear, whether for personal use or enjoyment!
