I found a shortcoming in our current blog. Only one person is notified when there are comments. I thought it had a setting for each administrator but it doesn't. So when 'Moi' changed it to her email, Big Brother stopped getting notified. And it would explain why others are not 'pinged' after comments are added.
However, I think there is a solution. There are apps that aggregate blog feeds. In other words, you can have a web page or app on your machine that has your favorite blogs all in one place and tells you when a new post and, hopefully, new comment has been posted.
I have been using the freeware SharpReader, but it doesn't appear to have this feature. Anyone using another aggregator that does have this feature? Let me know.

How does the house fit
Favorite asks "how does the house fit?"
It fits real good. In fact I think we had a lot of things come together on this. The neighborhood is great for the kids, which means it's great for us.
The house, itself, is "all that." Now that all our stuff is in it, even if it is in boxes, it is not overwhelming us. I am surprised. It will take a little time before we are all settled but I think it will take less time than I first thought.
We have even staged our first 'improvement' project successfully. We had to have the water pressure stepped down with a regulator. A plumber came and one hour later our 120 PSI water was a pleasant 62 PSI. I think that might explain why none of the toilets work consistently. I might have to replace the valves in a couple of them as they probably were not treated kindly by the extreme pressure. If I'm not mistaken, 160 PSI is a pressure washer, for reference.
We still have to figure out a couple things, e.g. where to situate a bookcase or a couch, in order to really make it comfortable but it is quite liveable now, less than a month into it.

Moved in and set up
Today, I feel like crap. I think it is my body/mind catching up with me. It is that we-can-finally-relax feeling in the immune system that is giving me this headache and nausea. It's like that after-final-exams bug that you get. I'm going to try an listen to my body and relax a bit today.
There is so much to do, but it can wait. I probably need to drink some water too.
The internet is set-up in the new house. Cable modem if you are keeping track, through Comcast. We have wireless network in the house for now though it appears to have Cat-5 wiring as well. I'll figure that out later. Wireless is working. Cable TV, phone, electicity, water, all working and now.
I felt a little lost without email. Funny because I don't feel that way about the phone. Now we can settle in. Marc started school today. Nathalie starts next week. Bus picks her up at 6:57. Ugh.
