Blogging seems to be all the rage, so what the heck? I'll follow the lemmings over the cliff too! It probably won't get me elected President, but maybe some interesting discussions will come out of it... Beware, however: I speak my mind here, and I'm pretty frank and open. Some may be offended at the content and/or opinions. If you're easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere for reading material.

When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Finally, if you want to be notified when I post the this blog, signup on the lemmings mailing list.

Oh blog!

Last week was "interesting" in the sense of the Chinese curse: a good friend's father-in-law and mother both went into separate hospitals with prognosis' of "days to weeks". The father-in-law passed away, but the mother has been getting better and got to the point of being able to have surgery to fix the problem, though she's not out of the woods yet. There is hope however...

Work is ok; making progress on improving things, but fighting software that's poorly documented, complex and recalcitrant. Oh well, if it were easy, anyone could do it ;-)

Just watched part of the third debate. I can only handle a bit at a time --- I'm going to have to find the transcript online so I can rebut them rather than throw the remote at the TV.
