I Can Has Deployment?

According to my e-mail I may be deployed as early as tomorrow morning. W00t! Sitting at home cruising the internet all day is nice and all, but it doesn't pay the mortgage and I really really really need to start doing some productive work for a change.

In the meantime, I am now the proud owner of Adobe Creative Suite 4! And it works quite nice, though it takes up almost all the remaining room on my hard drive. I was thinking of getting a new external hard drive to kind of organize all my files, and was shocked to discover I can pick up a 500 GIG hard drive for like $150. WTF? Seriously? I knew memory was getting cheap, but 500 GIGS? How will I ever fill up all that space? I could fit both of my computers on that and it wouldn't even be half full! That's amazing!

I found a site a while back with links to 150,000 free fonts and dingbats. Because one can never have too many fonts. I've been collecting them since 1995 or so. I remember I used a font called BoinkOMatic on the Albany Anthrocon banner ads.

Talking about Swedish Butter Cookies the other day got me thinking about my grandparents on my father's side, so I ruminated about that for a while. I should probably write down what my childhood was like before I forget it all. It's like forever ago I did stuff like go to church and Sunday School and all that. Going to Mount Pleasant pool. Playing video games on the newfangled Atari 2600 we had. Building forts out in the woods. Sneaking out late at night in the summer to cause mischief and then helping Xakor deliver newspapers at 5 in the morning. Good times.
