The JT Evening News 3rd Edition
(Just a logo I whipped up for this session-horrible ain’t it?)
Welcome to the 3rd edition of the JT Evening news (published whenever I feel like it–even if it’s early afternoon). All the the news fit for myself.
***************
The first item concerns my rather reluctance awareness of the obvious fact that I have neglected to keep up with the general house cleaning of my poor PC meaning that I have too many files that I no longer need, others that badly need organizing and I should have cleaned out my email ages ago. That will be remedied this weekend. I wonder how many other blogging type folks have the same problem?
***************
My theme, PalNila, has been updated and is now compatible with WordPress 2.3 which of course means that I have to load it into my local sandbox and hack the theme templates with my few customizations and then replace the current version. This will be my first task of the day. Just thought you’d want to know. 
***************
Rose is asking everyone who stops by to Delurk themselves. Liz is In The Atmosphere and picking out this week’s SOB’s. Rick is exploring the World Freedom Atlas and Ronni wants to peek in at other blogger’s blogspots (via Going Like Sixty). Just a random pick of folks I like to visit.

Alrighty then. It’s time to get to work doing all those things I mentioned and thank you all for tuning in on another edition of the JT Evening News
Kirk,
The data in the Freedom Atlas covers 1990 – 2006, so it’s only post-Cold War.

I like the idea of this a lot. I might have to consider something like that for my blog.
Hope you are doing well. I’ve been busy again this week, so blogging wasn’t my highest priority.
Hey Rick,
That’s good enough then. I really didn’t figure it would have anything before 1990. Would have been interesting to compare the last decade of the Cold War to the decade after though. I’ll definitely make use of this data being the curious sort that I am and considering my background. By the way, to the left of the chart on the map there’s # of OB’s or something to that effect. I may have missed it but does OB stand for?
Hi Cat,
It surprises me that I’m comfortable with this since I despised any other sort of ads or affiliate links. Guess I finally found something that fits my personality. Now what does that say about me I wonder?
I haven’t the faintest idea what the # of OBs means, Kirk. It appears to be related to the numerical scale somehow since it changes for different measures, but you would have to contact the author to find out the meaning.
