• Nearly perfect

    My football teams made a clean sweep and hockey was a big success too. What more could you ask for in a sports weekend? Well, the Red Sox lost. You can win them all, it just doesn’t happen that often.

  • Back in the saddle; or, when a good computer goes bad.

    We are back on the air after some technical difficulties this evening. They say that when you run your own web server, you can’t blame anyone else for your site problems. Well, one of our poor old iMacs bit the dust right in front of me this evening. It happened just as I was walking in the door, coming home from work. The monitor flashed, an electrical “hissing” noise rose from the depths of the case, and it went dead. We made every attempt known to us to revive it, but we were unsuccessful. Six hours worth of harvesting spare parts, installing software, and loading back-ups to our family room iMac brings us to the present. It’s past my bed time, and I’m sitting here typing this message. Two people will likely read this entry, and I’ve already told one of them more than they wanted to know about it. Ye Gods!

  • Waxing sentimental.

    My reputation for single mindedness comes well deserved. I’ve been driving forward in the office as if nothing has changed. After a good hour of hearty production this morning, I noticed a phone message from a recently departed, former coworker. They left a really nice message. Suddenly a productive morning becomes unproductive as my single track downshifts into sentimentality. Someone needs to venture out to the rail yard and throw the switch so I can get back to work.
