    Public Just was kinda wondering why I'd not gotten any mail at my personal domain all day. Good thing I checked, the HD is full! whoops

    Public I love that I can now schedule posts to appear on a future date in Blogger (yeah, I know, I know...). I just completed uploading *nearly* the entire month of Quick Tips for August. Nice.

    Public In a continuation of !blogkitten's request for "out the office window" pics for Foto Friday, I asked a co-worker to snap a shot of the view I USED to have at the office downtown before one of the VPs snagged my space away from me a couple years back. :)

    No big loss really....

    Public !blogkitten upped the ante for Foto Friday and asked that we snap a picture of what's outside our office windows (http://pownce.com/blog...)

    I typically work from home on Mondays and have been on Fridays as well. And since this is the same office I podcast from, it counts... :)

    Here's a picture of our garden where we're currently growing tomatoes, purple bush beans, broccoli, cauliflower, red ...

    Public My wife and daughter are getting the car packed up to head out to Girl Scout camp for the weekend!

    Creek stomping, canoeing, hiking, archery, camp fires, s'mores (I'm sure)... they're going to have a great time!!

    Public Far too often I see "to" used in place of "too". So a quick review:

    too = in addition, besides / a higher degree than desired

    to = moving toward / a direction / concerning / identifying a relationship to something or attachment

    Correct: "He has too much time on his hands" OR "I would like to do that too" OR "Could you give this to him" OR "It's about 30 miles to where the ...

    Public I just received a beta of the next release of Sandvox Pro to review (http://www.karelia.com/). I hadn't used it before, and didn't know if it was merely an iWeb or Rapidweaver clone or something entirely different. Seems to be somewhere in between.... but it's early yet.

    Public Funny how it's only after I announce the cancellation of my literary podcast, "Coffee House to Go" that the comments and e-mails come in.

    Not that it would have affected my decision one way or the other -- because I really wanted to focus my attention on FMEO -- but it's a good reminder for everyone that if you enjoy a podcast, website, small press publication, independent software product ... whatever ...

    Public Two things are needed to improve Address Book in OS X:
    1) I need to re-order fields on an individual contact - like drag one website above another for instance
    2) I really would like to be able to create multiple address books so work contacts and personal contact don't co-mingle under "All"

    Sub-groups don't cut it. Too much maintenance and, ultimately, they're all still mixed together in ...

    Public The neighbors just called to see if we can board their cats for 5 (FIVE!) days while they're out of town and their floors are being refinished...

    3 of our cats + 2 of their cats (each group with its own hierarchy) doesn't sound like a fun time if you've ever experienced introducing ONE new cat to a household.

    We're trying to figure out how to "contain ...

    Public In response to Carolyn (!blogkitten) who said about the mouse from Foto Friday: "I'm surprised the cats didn't go after him!"

    original post - http://pownce.com/escw...

    Well, we *think* Alexi (the one who alerted us to the mouse) might have brought it up from the basement and then lost it once he got upstairs. The mouse's back was a little ... spitty.

    This thing looked JUST like ...
