It Was My Birthday

My birthday has passed quietly. I got the day off because my workplace celebrates King Day, which fell on my birthday this year. On Sunday I got a gift from Madre as well as a chicken dinner and German chocolate cake with cocoanut icing. And I am making progress in rewriting my Web site (which is now paid off for another year).

The House of Representatives version of CLOACA is dead. The Senate version is still active, so there is work to be done.

I was looking on the T-Mobile site for their support chat page. I never found it, but I did discover that if I paid ten dollars for an additional 35 minutes, the expiration date is extended for another year. So I will now have more opportunity to consume my minutes.

I am slowing working to convert my Webiste to HTML5. I figure the structural tags (<section>, <aside>, <article>) are complete, and the new pages are mostly those.

At work,

• SoundSlides Plus is coming, after we work out licensing issues.
• RapidWeaver will stay available at version four on all iMacs for the rest of the semester -- or until the betasite (where students get departmental software) switches from version four to five.
• Final Cut Pro stays at version seven. I have to keep it there, as Final Cut Pro X has proven to be under-featured and extremely unpopular.

Also, I am working to port the University Libraries Toolbar to Safari.
