The ms is currently topping 800 pages. (Can’t wait until I have to print out two single-sided copies and mail them in to Neal-Schuman.) Just one more read-through edit and the screen shots are left to be done. It looks like I’ll be sending it in very close to the new March 15th deadline.

This was the view for the better part of my drive from Denver, CO to Dodge
City, KS yesterday. Shortly after this picture was taken the driver’s side
windshield wiper decided to stop working properly…
The rest of my photos from the trip can been seen at ofoto.

The Promise
21
Feb 2005
When you need a friend, don’t look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I’ll always be there.
But when you’re in doubt, and when you’re in danger,
Take a look all around, and I’ll be there.
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you’ll wait around awhile, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I’m gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it’s not what’s intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you’ll wait around awhile, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you…
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I’d make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you…
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you’ll wait around awhile, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you…
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I’d make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will. I will. I will.

Every Technomage knows the 14 words that will make someone fall in love with you forever, but she only needed one.
What word?
“Hello.”

Last week’s presentation at Scottsdale Community College, “Boolean Searching: A Brief Introduction”, is now available on my presentations page. This is the first one done in S5 instead of PowerPoint so as long as you have a browser you can view it without the need for additional software.

Of all the lazy, half-assed ideas!

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Margaret Atwood’s writing (well, most of it anyway) but The Globe and Mail has reprinted a letter from Ms. Atwood regarding a real-life “remote autographing device.” The most amazing quote from the letter: “For many.. it won’t be a choice between the author-in-the-flesh and the remote signing. It’ll be a choice between the remote signing and nothing.” Give me a break. This kind of attitude reminds me of the time Nancy Kress told me that she doesn’t do book signings in mall stores because “I don’t end up selling enough books to make it worth my time.”
