Been away

Well not really.

Just been very busy. Moved to a better apartment. Started seeing someone I really like. Very lucky in both regards.

Other news...

Mom discovered that almost everything she had put in storage was pretty much destroyed by Katrina. This includes some of the few remaining items from mine and my brother's childhood - a good bit of which was lost in 1990 after the divorce began and everyone moved out of a trailer that was repo'ed. From the conversation that I recall, it's mostly just a few pictures, and that's all that my Dad has as well.

Antiques that belonged to my grandmother and great-grandmother were destroyed. Mom had put them in storage to keep them safe - it was one of those 'climate-controlled' indoor storage places. Hahaha. Irony.

My brother may have word on a better job. Hope it works out for him.

Work is going well. To see what I mostly do for a living go to http://jpl.coj.net. I revamp the Library's website, working on improving it as well as my knowledge of Java, HTML, XHTML, XLST, PHP, etc. etc. I wish there were original versions of some of these pages to show what I have improved upon - there are probably (definitely, more likely) people who have better visions of a Library website, as well as more skills, but when you come from a hard-coding, self-taught, Notepad background, well, it takes some time.

*Shrug*

The world goes on, as much as I bitch and moan about things, it's all good. I've got better things to think on. She'll be in the next post. :)
