Happy Birthday Barbara!
Twenty nine looks good on ya! On a side note, I’d like to point out that these shots were taken wth our trusty Canon G3 – still the best digital camera for most people. There is a catch though – you must always shoot using aperture priority. To get these shots, I chose 1/6 second…

I Want My Fiona – Now!
I am delighted to discover that Mark Morford and myself are not alone in our quest for MORE FIONA!
Tough Week for a Geek
Man, what a week! In the course of two days, my main server’s hard drive crashed, and a machine I maintain in Santa Rosa also exhibited symptoms of a disk crash. It turns out that thte disk in the server in Santa Rosa had not crashed, and I had backups and redundancy in a few…
