Can you guess the weather outside my window? So far as I can tell the entire East coast is under bucketing rain, and it is heading slowly north and east, making the longest passage right over my head.

I am still engaged in a pitched battle with the code involved in making that lovely little Flickr badge come up over THERE>> in the sidebar (where it belongs). That was the punch line to a long running gag when I was in college. You know how you get punchy with people when studying late; we did fossil charades (the filter feeders all kind of blend together, and sponges are damn hard! they do nothing! trilobites seem easier than they really are, since it requires a fair amount of scuttling on one’s stomach) and asked “where is the braphiopod? In the shallow water, where it belongs!”

So, yes, this page continues to evolve. I moan about having to learn new stuff, but really it is energizing. Mostly. I could use more chocolate.
