Over the past month I’ve been dealing with a new job where internet connections are closely monitored (so no blog or forum posting from work), a dead PC whose replacement parts never seem to want to work together, and various other distractions, so there’s been little time and/or inspiration to add any updates here.
I’ve been learning the ins and outs of Microsoft’s .NET 2.0 lately, and tinkering a bit with the ATLAS libraries as well. I’m using both at the office now and am gradually working on moving the family web site over into 2.0 with a few changes along the way to take advantage of new features like master pages and menu controls. Watch for it… oh, I dunno… eventually. In the meantime, take a look at the recently reorganized and expanded Susan’s Art Gallery page.
While I haven’t been blogging, I have been writing. Not a lot, but I’ve made more progress on my work-in-progress in the last three weeks than I did over the preceeding several months. I found a way to make a tedious-but-necessary part of the story much more interesting and fulfilling, and in getting through that I’ve now gotten to a scene I’ve been eager to write – and not just because it involves naked people. With luck, I’ll be able to crank through that over the next couple of days. This book may actually get written if I keep this up!
