Going Back To Work
November 17, 2003: Well, I've been off work on vacation since the 7th, and tomorrow I return. What did I accomplish this last week? Well.

Hanging onto Windows with a thread… scissors in hand
October 25, 2003: I move closer and closer to eliminating Windows -- and the influence of Microsoft -- from my working environment! I no longer code websites in Dreamweaver -- I use Screem or a plain old text editor. I no longer work with graphics in Photoshop -- I use Gimp! I am totally off MS Office and…

Fire Time
October 24, 2003: For the third night in a row, I've had to drive past hillsides where plumes of fire burn fifty, a hundred feet into a night sky made white with smoke.
