A while ago I purchased some hosting, bought a couple of domain names and committed myself to designing a new website for myself and moving this blog to a proper Wordpress install. All that stuff is going ahead.. albeit a little more slowly than I originally anticipated. However, just as I’m feeling all cocky and […]

Ryan Lerch spreads the news that the About Screen contest for the upcoming 0.46 release of Inkscape has been announced. The deadline is January 6th and I may try and make some time to field an entry or two once again. No luck last year, but it sure was fun coming up with ideas.

I have had a Facebook account for at least a few months now. It has proved useful for one thing: reacquainting with school chums from long ago. I log in about  twice a month - usually only to read and reply to a private message someone has sent me.

I just responded to a comment on one of my blog posts about various aspects of the free and open-source OS world versus Windows.

Looks like CBS has *finally* decided to air the 7 episode long second season of Jericho. I’m not a big TV watcher at all, but this was one series I truly enjoyed. Glad to see it finally get aired. The launch date appears to be set for Feb 12, 2008 at 10pm. We’ll see. […]

Posting here has slowed for the time being but for good reason (to me anyway). I’m finally shucking my blogspot diapers and have purchased proper hosting and a domain name or two.
So right now I’ve put a few things on hold while I de-rustify my html and css skills and build a proper site. […]
