Yahoo live went down for a maintenance outage last night and when they came back it was magically working for me again. Well probably not so magically, what they broken Sunday they fixed again. I wonder how it will be before it gets broken yet again. I wonder if Yahoo will continue this grand experiment or will decide to pull the plug.

I have slowly been replacing the Ferrari concealed hinges that are installed on most of the cabinet doors throughout my house with Blum hinges. The Ferrari hinges wear out on door that are used frequently like the door on the cupboard with our glasses and plates or the door under the sink where our garbage can used to be stored. After a while the Ferrari hinges leave a black deposit and don't properly support the door. The Blum hinges have a lifetime gaurantee though I suspect that the hoops required to get them replaced when they do fail will be more cumbersome than just spending another $3 for a new hinge. When I went to Home Depot this time I wanted to buy a 10 pack of hinges. Unfortunately they sell them in two pieces and only on of the pieces still had 10 packs available. Sigh, why not either package them together or stock the two pieces in equal quantities. I did notice that Home Depot now has buttons scattered throughout the store to allow you to summon help. Looks like they can fell Rona's hot breath on their neck.
