Fine blogger I am...it's been 9 days since my last entry. Oh, well...I'm a bad correspondent, too ;-)

Just realized it's Friday the 13th. How funny.

Thinking of new enhancements to the SMS program. Need to be able to send messages ad hoc to users not on the text file list. And convert this all to .NET. And convert it to COM. Probably should do the COM part first? Would make a good Challenge Lab for ActiveX III...mwahahahahahahahaha ;-)

I think it could be time for a long walk outside. Anything to avoid doing housework...

Later!

The Machine now has a gig of RAM! At present this seems to allow me to download mp3s from WinMX all the faster...yo ho ho; too bad I don't care for rum...

The firewall router is pretty cool, too: all I had to do was connect everything and turn it on. It automatically did the rest (of course, my machines were already set up for DHCP). I can't use the print server functionality, however - my printer (Lexmark Z45) is USB only and the print server needs a parallel hookup. No big.

I started teaching the .NET Framework Intro on Barnes & Noble University on Monday. It should be a fun class - looks like just "girls" so far, although I'm sure there are lurking guys. Next week the ActiveX Part 3 starts on Element K - I'm hoping that at least someone will show up and post. I'm quite surprised the class didn't cancel. I got an email reminding me that I could sign up for Desktop Part 2 - hmmmm...I wonder if that means they are having trouble filling it? I'll continue the SMS application saga anyhow - never know when I might get to teach Part 2, after all.

Well, time for me to go do something productive, like fill out my little boy's preschool paperwork...

Until whenever!
