secureserver.net machines are still rejecting the Internet OTR Digest routinely. I have made various attempts at contacting people there, and as yet have been completely unable to speak to anything approximating a human being. If you are leasing webspace or have your mail services through Go Daddy, and are not receiving the OTR Digest, please file a support ticket to complain about their rejection, and feel free to give them my contact info. I’ll happily help them figure out what screwy content filter is misfiring to reject a family-friendly list like the Digest, if they’ll only have the decency to have an open contact point. (And if they don’t fix this, consider hosting your personal or small-business website elsewhere; there are lots of reasonably-priced registrars and web-hosting services that don’t use such draconian content-filters. I mean, think about it…if they are rejecting the Digest, what other legitimate mail are they bouncing?)

And on the illness front, as I mentioned on Twitter but don’t think I did here, I’ve been diagnosed with the flu. Which flu? Dunno…apparently in this area there are enough strains running around that the CDC is bored and no longer requesting strain tests. I haven’t seen the appearance of a curly tail, though, so I’m thinking Squirrel Flu (hey, we have a lot of ‘em running around the trees in the neighborhood).

Still, it’s been pretty miserable. I can’t even say definitively that I have “rounded the corner” what with all the coughing and nonsense, although I’m no longer feverish and am spending a little more time out of bed every day. It’ll be d*mned nice to get back in-the-groove, and catch up on all the stuff I’ve let slide while feeling like death-warmed-over. Heck, I’m two days behind on listening to The Bob Edwards Show, so you know I’m sick.
