Heh. Dave is working on some way of including/setting form elements in his outlines. Looks like ASP. Why the new syntax, Dave? What happened to {usertalk.macro.syntax}?

Matt Goyer says he could not work for U-Haul without going psycho...

Today we go to get our Arizona drivers licenses. They do things differently out here. Like there's no property tax on your car but it costs $120 to get a license plate.

I once told Hans that the frequency with which I post here is inversely proportionate to my job satisfaction. You be the judge.

Oh God, what's happening to me?

Well, I finally rented Final Fantasy. I think I'm glad I did not see it in the theater - the graphics are amazing, but I'm not sure they could withstand the scrutiny on a full-size movie screen. The plot is not bad though.

This is, in fact, not a sarcastic comment on the Americanization of the world. In the process of moving to Phoenix, I've apppreciated the fact that I can go to a Target, a Walmart, or a Blockbuster and know how it works.

this is a test, please disregard

And we're mostly in one piece. I'm writing this post on, yes, my new TiBook, christened "Ti Fighter". I love that you can name your Mac. I'm going to ramble.

This is Steve's wife, Jodi. Just thought you all might like to know that Steve (and cats) are on the road to Arizona as of 4 am this morning. But the adventure has evidently just begun.

(I'm ready to change my whole label system, so a lot of stuff these days is going into "Personal Ramblings because I don't have categories anymore for what I want to say. I think I'm going to simplify my categories, and use keywords to group similar postings.)

I've spent the better part of today (and I do mean it was better ;-)) out in the soon-to-be-no-longer-mine garage, cleaning and packing and seperating the valuable shit from the ditritus. The valuable stuff get's either packed or put into the moving-sale pile. The ditritus goes into the Big Black Can. Rockin out to the radio (oh god for a portable MP3 player) and futzing around the garage. Heaven.

I'm really tired, and the above title will have to do. Suggestions can be sent here.

I was just listening to Rush Limbaugh - something I hardly ever do anymore, since he's more of a blowhard now than ever... but I was in the car running errands earlier, and tuned in. It turns out Rush is going deaf, and has been for many months. He's wearing hearing aids now, and if his current medications do not help, he will probably be 100% deaf in a month or so.

I'm working full-time on the house now - partly packing, and partly wrapping up last-minute repairs and projects. I went to the neighbvorhood coffeeshop this morning for a leisurely cuppa before beginning the day's tasks. Nice.

Until making it out to Phoenix, I've been set up with the First Class client, so I can access U-Haul's email system and groupware environment. I've never used First Class before, and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. From what I hear it's been this good for 12 years. Soooooo, why is Exchange even on the radar?
