Husband had wisdom teeth out – one of them with roots that had grown into the sinus cavity (nasty) – so today was largely working from home with interruptions to take him to the hospital and bring him home. I still managed to get a post in for Mad Genius Club for tomorrow, where I Read More…
Sunday Pot-Pourri
End of the week update – which I hope to make a regular post. I’ve got most of the website and associated hookups in place and doing what they should I’ve switched over my .sig to Impaler on my main email. I still need to set my assorted newsgroup posting .sigs to do the same Read More…
Not the Dracula you were expecting
Stepping on hot buttons
