or at least that’s apparently how a workmate explained thunder to his very young child….heh. Poor kid is going to be diving under a desk any time the weather turns bad…(you don’t even want to know about the explanation for hail)
Anyway, that was completely irrellevant and has nothing to do with what I [...]
between the fact that I’ve been pretty much up to my neck in web application stuff at work lately (usually I do the business logic side of things, but for this project I’m doing the lot), and I just spent the entire weekend working on the new CSFG website, I’m pretty much living and breathing [...]

Buying orchestral music could become a dangerous addiction….
The CDs are only $10 each, so it’s far too easy to accidently walk out with 3 or 4 of them…
I picked up three today…Vivaldi (Cello concertos), Grieg (Peer Gynt and a couple of other pieces), and Brahms (Symphony number 4 and a couple of [...]
I’ve seen some pretty bad abuses of the English language before…including the depressingly common affectation “virii” when referring to multiple viruses.
