It shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows me that most of my day off was easily consumed by the latest release from Square Enix and Buena Vista Games.

Kingdom Hearts 2 continues to find the perfect blend of popular characters from Square’s Final Fantasy games and Disney’s beloved toons in a mix that really shouldn’t work, but does anyway.

Besides, how can you go wrong with a game that involves Donald Duck and Goofy running around the computer world of Tron?

This is just an early reminder that Daylight Savings Time will be in effect at 2:00am on this coming Sunday, April 2nd.

Daylight Savings Time, which involves moving the clock an hour ahead, generally starts on either  the last Sunday in March the first Sunday in April, and is in effect until the the last Sunday in October.

At least that’s how it is currently.  In 2007, the United States will alter how DST works due to the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  The US Department of Energy will be monitoring a change in the policy, which will have DST start on the second Sunday of March and last until the first Sunday in November.

For those of you feeling a little adventurous in your web browsing and aren’t afraid of some potentially buggy software, you might be interested in the Beta 2 Preview Release of Microsoft’s upcoming Internet Explorer 7 web browser.

The download is available here.

If you’ve come through this website before, you’ve probably noticed a large amount of content missing. That’s because the hard drive on the original webserver went bad and needed to be replaced.

I’ve moved MeisterPlanet to the webhost service Dreamhost.com until I can get access to the backups at MJZ Hosting and restore access to the site on their servers.

In the meantime, I have most of the text from my posts already uploaded from a personal backup I’ve made, but it will probably be a few more days until all the image files that make up much of my site will return.
