Wow, I've really let this thing slide, haven't I? Okay, new year, new resolve; more regular updates in the future are now the order of the day.
Let's see, what's going on right now? Geoff and Nneka are getting married! June 17th is the official date. Geoff has asked me to be in the wedding - w00t! I'm a lucky guy to get to spend so much time in a penguin suit for friends. Plus we finally get to see Boston when it's not covered in snow. Should be interesting.
On the home front, Mel is off to Germany on Saturday, alone this time. I had been hoping to tag along on the end of her trip like last time, but I couldn't get the time off. So, hoosband will be spending a week at home alone, playing World of Warcraft and annoying the cats. Work is going great (part of why I couldn't get the time off) - we're doing crazy new blue sky stuff that's gonna wow the world when we release it later this year. It's kinda cool hearing that we're the 'best in the world' at something - especially when it's not coming from the director of marketing (sorry, Joelle).
Judging by the number of downloads I've been getting, people seem to like my mash-up - thanks for the positive feedback and support. I'm currently waiting on some software before I begin my next song stay tuned. The web site update has stalled, largely due to my dissatisfaction with the cross-browser compatibility of my last design. As such, I'm stripping it down to the basics and starting over, with an eye toward more testing this time. Updates as they arise.
In geeky tech news, Apple announced a luscious new laptop at MacWorld today - the MacBook Pro. It's the new Powerbook, with a dual-core intel processor inside. Yummy. I think I'm gonna try and convince my boss I need one for a work machine. I'm still using my personal Powerbook from school at the moment - can't go back to Windows, sorry.
I think that's everything - if it's not, I'll let you know, I promise.
Now we're a blogging family! I have no doubt we'll be sprucing up the site over the winter holidays - I already have a bunch of knitting-oriented ideas for the site. Not sure how we're going to integrate the domain name, though - ideas welcome.
