Year-end admin stuff for the business is keeping me occupied.

Also busy (happily so) with file transfers and software (re)intallations onto the new desktop unit brought by Santa. It’s a PC with a speedy little Celeron chip, lots of memory and plenty of drive space. CD burner too. Quite a shock jumping directly from Win 95 to XP though. I’m looking at it the same way as when I jumped from Mac to Windows: all the features have to be here somewhere – it’s just a question of figuring out where they were hidden or what they were renamed as. Now that I have drive space to spare again lots of toys and gizmos are coming out of the closet and off the archive disks. A little clean-up, a little dusting, and voila! just like new. AIM is back up after an extended absence: new address is howler358. Just realized that I need to come up with some new graphics here soon before the Christmas decorations get too stale. If I get my act together (ha!) I may be able to install the oft-promised and long overdue PHP upgrades to the site at the same time. In short, while the site will be busy, with lots of flashy new stuff to see (hopefully), there probably won’t be a lot of words of substance (as though there ever were) through the weekend at least.

And by the way, it’s beautifully sunny here and even during the Christmas-New Year’s hiatus the firm policy of poolside lunches has not been relaxed. Some standards have to be maintained even during the holiday season. White Christmas is tolerable from a distance; pasty-white Chuck at Christmas is not an acceptable option.
