Up and Running…

It’s been a hectic couple of days but we’re now successfully moved to the new servers.

Gearworx has doubled our space, will hopefully be faster and if and when problems occur it seems clear that their support sites are faster. So far I’m very pleased with the move.
Much thanks goes out to the Devin. He came over yesterday and touched my computers in a way that made them feel comfortable. There are still a few small things to do. Some of the smileys are missing from the forum as well as the gallery of avatars — thus some of you may need to re-point, re-upload or choose another but we’ll fill the gallery with a whole new batch soon enough.
On the health front, Mr. Atkins has trimmed me down 6 pounds and I’m currently hating cheddar wrapped ham and would kill a small puppy in exchange for a loaf of bread, but if we don’t have our health…
On the work front, I’m a 3rd of the way through a book for adaptation. I’m still playing with Magnus but no word on any of the other work fronts. But this is not uncommon.
On the personal side, Mel’s father is moving out West.

Durango Colorado will be his new home. This is a great thing. Puts him much closer to us and I know Mel misses daddy. And now I can really pressure him to make me that shirt/jacket I’ve wanted for years. I’m gonna ride him hard as soon as he’s settled in.
So, let’s talk Mel’s Party Pics Part II. Of the three cameras, two without flash, we got 12 pics back and only portions of those are usable. Shame on me for forgetting my camera. But those that turned out, turned out well.

Mark and Patrick although Mark is shrouded in shadow. Not much I could do to fix it at my present Paint Shop Pro standing. But I consider it symbolic. Mark, draped in shadow and mystery somehow works.

And that brings us to the end of the usable disposable camera pics.
Tonight Mel and I are going to head to the movies to check out “Ray” and tomorrow I’m hooking up with Patrick to see the romantic comedy “Saw”. He’s also going to slip me another copy of our Mass Destruction trailer as we’re going to look into the world of Graphic Novels.
I believe Sunday is Ghosts and Goblins with the Loreys.
It’s good to be back up and running. Be safe.
