Just a few glitches!

Well you might be wondering what has happened in the last week.  I am attempting to adjust the domain host and improve spam filtering.  In that process I have hit a few snags. 

The first snag is that writing blogs in the new Word Document 2008 format does not allow for exporting the posts to a new site.  Even though I am attempting to keep blog.dc-agape.com as the main posting site, 1 & 1 hosting is not very user friendly.  I am not allowed access to by blog to introduce widgets or gadgets to improve comments or other neat options.

The second snag is that I am attempting to write two journal articles for my PhD program and an NSF grant proposal.  The articles aren’t that bad, I am still collecting data (lots of it), but the NSF grant is a huge load.  It is due by Dec 8, 2009 and I am attempting to get funding to visit a polymer facility in Pohang, Korea (POSTECH)!  If I get approval I will be in Korea for 2 months this coming summer.  It will allow me to proceed with my research in a completely different perspective and possible lead to a better understanding of chromatographic molecular recognition.  So my writing time has been cut short, and my research time even shorter.

I hope to have both snags worked out shortly.  Then I can get back to posting closer to a daily system.  The back-up site for my posts and the posts I will be writing until this blows over is:

Sorry for the trouble!
