My blogging energies were redirected the last couple of days; I received and set up a new server. I bought a Dell PowerEdge 400SC (what I term a "glorified desktop") that was on sale for at least as cheap as what I could have put together myself. But it's much slicker. It has a clamshell-style case and is quieter than any other computer I've ever owned. I'm still in the process of setting stuff up on it, but suffice it to say that if I decide to move this site back to my house, it will definitely run faster than it was before the move to 1&1.

What a slate of NFL games we had this weekend! I'm having a breakout pick week (I've missed only the Houston, Oakland, and Green Bay upsets), and I've picked Pittsburgh to upset the Niners tonight. 12 correct in one week is already my season high, but it would be nice to pad. I'm still about 20 picks behind the leader on Yahoo's game.

If I don't squeak out a win in my local fantasy league this week, I don't know that I'll recover enough to make it into the playoffs. We don't have a lot of great free agents laying around right now, and my team is currently suffering from quite a few injuries. It's good to see McNabb is back on track - he should get the nod next week in both my leagues.
