Have made a few changes around the website:

- the show similar post function number of words to show was reduced from 250 to 150
- increased similar posts that show at the end of posts from 3 to 5 6, I like a lot of the results I’ve been seeing
- added new advertiser: Chitika. These ads are experimental only at this time and are non-contextual so that they can run on the same pages as the Google Adsense

Hmmcast vacation day: doctor time
Don’t sigh now but I’ll likely be taking a Hmmcast vacation day today. The reason (or excuse if you prefer) is that I need to take my wife to the specialist related to her injury back in 2003 (yes, she’s still in pain even after her surgery) and while I could be all geek and bring along the camera and laptop and put something together on the road that seems insensitive. She wants a geek there by her side, not blogging.

So instead I’ll hold her hand and read the dog-eared magazines in the waiting room. The specialist is a good hour away and then we’ll get lunch. I don’t see us getting back to the office until late afternoon. Depending on how she feels I might take her out somewhere and make it a day on the town.

Hey this kind of sounds like something one would put in Twitter. Am I being assimilated?
