WOW. New Blogger option to spell check! This has been needed. Careful editing is always a good thing, but spell checking provides the last word. So to speak. More new options as well make this an interesting journey. WAIT - for now the URL is not found. Maybe my browser? Who knows.

Thank goodness - Friday! Glad to see it come because I want to spend the weekend doing some much needed work around the house and watching several DVDs. HHHHmmm...which will come first, and which will get done?

I see Apple is being sued by the Apple Corps who are the Beatles parent company, or owner or however it is delineated. Seems Apple agreed not to go near the music business and the suit is not the first. There must be money in the "music business!" Interesting to watch this develope.

This week has seen a plethora of MS updates to our software at work. Security holes being patched, new virii sigs galore. Sigh. meanwhile - did I upload the *monthly* new Norton sigs for my Mac? I have to see about that...I keep forgetting about Norton on the Mac. Wonder why that is...:) Can't get too complaisant though, you never know.

Go to Applelinks and read "Grack." The writing is amusing, fast-paced and excellent. The pictures are of God's own country. And to top it all off, this guy is an Air Force Brat.

Monday morning coffee sitting on the desk beside me, and I am waking up slowly. It was an interesting weekend. Had one of those fits of organization where you go and look at your "wardrobe." That's what I call it, yea. So quite a few old things are history now, sitting in the Salvation Army sorting center. Had to reorganize the cupboards in the kitchen to accomodate the new water-heating-device-with-cord which I prefer to sit on the counter in readiness. All is now efficiently arranged. Nothing is like the thrill of saintliness you get from organizing, cleaning, sorting and removing. We all have too much "stuff" in our lives and homes. No doubt about it. I have too much stuff. Probably going to keep on having too much stuff. I do have a finite space for books, so when I go beserk and buy books I have to sort out some already on the shelves. Ditto CDs. If you don't get a grip and cycle through the stock, you are immersed in a sea of possessions.

Saw "Happy Texas" one more time the other night. Always a fun viewing. I am beginning to think we should just rent the movies we know are good because we've seen them. Taking a chance these days just might get you one horrid evening of film.

Worms eating their way through the internet. Our web is down at the college. All week so far, and this is Thursday. Mail only sporadic. Network really slow, and by really slow I mean almost unresponsive. I am getting a bit withdrawn, and not very enthused about the non-reception of email. It's the start of the school year, and I always forget the numbers of students in this metro area. With three colleges in town the numbers of internet users spikes tremendously in September. Should not come as a surprise to the local IT people. Phooy. Good thing I have a trusty modem at home and can POP the mail. Sometimes that works, sometimes it does not. And of course it goes without saying that having a Mac is a nice touch as well, especially in these wormy times.

Spent the money to register Nisus Writer Express. Now, I hope it gets some enhancements in version 1.1, coming out very soon they say. I would like the WYSIWYG font list, but that's not the top of the list. The ability to save as a PDF would be nice as well. This word processor is very very smooth. A nice "feel" and a good touch. You can also make the actual text area as wide as your screen if you want to. I like a nice sized window for my text, and you cannot get this with Appleworks or with Mellel as far as I could tell in my trial of that software. I didn't want MSWord for Mac, so I looked for another word processor with a variable text area, and Nisus Writer Express fills the bill.

If we register Mac software we encourage the developers. Go to it people!
