Thoughts on words - possibly unpopular
People think that "evolve" means to improve, and that simply by evolving the human race is getting better. The word means to change gradually, and humans are racing to the bottom. They are evolving, but not (necessarily) improving.

and while I am thrilled I have my own instance I am wondering how to upgrade to 3.3 as I am currently on v3.1.3
I live in Tunbridge, Vermont with my wife and a bunch of animals.
I am the administrator on this instance.
