Well I'm finally all plugged up with my own laptop and home Internet connection! Whew! Really it just feels like a return to normalcy, but what normalcy it is, my own music, my own bookmarks, all in the comfort of my own home.
Oh this is great great news, so happy for you!

It has been really great weather here in my area, not that much depressing hot temps and horrible humidity. Lots of rain which on some days is a little disappointing, but got to have rain. :-)
I'm almost 100% certain I will be ready to return to a comfortable, quiet office job when this contract is finished (in just 8 more months, can you believe 4 months have gone by since I was home writing "Silver Spoons"??!!)
Four months, seems like the blink of an eye!
Amazing how fast time flits away one day at a time.
We've all enjoyed your "off The Beaten Path Tours" and look forward to more of them. Of course, your busy working now so fun and travel come later.
Amusingly, they updated the certifications this month anyway, so even if I had gotten those other ones I started, they would have soon been outdated anyway.
And the funniest kicker is, all the software is free for download now! You just can't release professional work with it (have to buy a license), but otherwise I can now really lay into the new credentials.
It is amazing how fast things move these days, you may have had some inclination about this and where not aware of it, now things are made easier for you-all without your permission. ;-) Karma??
Just being able to lounge around your own flat with the comforts of home are worth a bucket of stars, make a cup of tea, not hurry up and get your on line business done cause someone else is waiting for the computer. WOW what freedom you have now.
GRRRRRREATTTT!

Yes, it's fun to feel like I'm "back in action" again! I'm amazed at how powerful these laptops are these days. I got one of the cheaper ones, but the screen is so bright and clear, and there's plenty of power to run all the software I need.
Good thing we're all so tech savy these days! ;-)
I'll probably drop by a lot less frequently, as most of my time and creative "brain juice" will be now getting used up writing software programs. That is one thing I've found interesting in my time in the Lair, that I enjoy writing pieces so well, but I never did before I came to the Lair.
And it occurred to me that writing software has a lot of the same characteristics as writing poems, especially for me, as all my poems tend to be balanced and structured, a lot like software. So I guess most of my "muse" energy will now go back to software.
However, when I do come by the Lair I'll try to always bring a new piece with me (be it ever so modest!).
I think as a personal project I'll start working on something for the big 4 year anniversary of the Lair coming up next month. Hmm, I must put together something special, what can it be?
