Okay – so the install of Vista didn’t go so well the first time around. I think I did everything in the wrong order and the machine got bogged down. Now, I’m running 64-bit Vista and posting from there. I don’t have much on the workstation yet, but I’ll put things on slowly until I get [...]

The new laptop is here. I have to say that I find the wide screen aspect ratio a bit odd, but other than that, it’s really wonderful. And zippy-fast, too! Of course, they pre-installed a 32-bit version of XP [for those of you who don't know what that is, it's what you're running on your computer] [...]

Sometimes, I feel like I don’t even like the outside – that I prefer the cool, artificial breeze of the air conditioning system. When I lived in Houston, this was true for 9 months out of 12. However, here I sit: outside on my back porch typing/working on my computer “in” the out-of-doors. I have [...]

This weekend, we spend two full days camping. I haven’t done that in about a decade… or maybe even more. All in all, it went well. Our tent, which I bought many years ago and never used, turned out to be the best we could possibly have had. It kept us dry when the nightly [...]

I’m now trying out the new version of Exchange 2007 – it’s still in beta, but this version is much more stable than the last one I tried. All seems to work well, so this is where it will be staying for a while. I won’t take down my old Exchange server yet – not [...]

I’m back from my hop accross the pond. Training went well, but it was tiring to do that while jet-lagged. I took a few pictures and I’ll let you know when I post them. It was really nice to get off the airplane in Newark – for at least 10 minutes. The air was cool [...]

I’ve arrived in Bad Homburg [a suburb of Frankfurt] safely, if a little later than I thought. I found the city just fine, but finding the hotel was something else. I was unable to find the right street and ended up driving around the town for over an hour before I found a “familliar” place [...]

I’ve been fortunate enough to be given an upgrade to first class – on an international flight! … which is very rare. I’m off now – no time to type before they shut me down!

I’m in Newark, NJ now – enjoying the fruits of my youthful extravagance [for those that don't know, when I was younger with more money than sense, I purchased a lifetime membership to the Continental President's Club for scads of money - I'm somewhat glad I did it then, since I haven't been able to [...]
