I'm back in Phoenix for a few days on business - it's warm! I left Atlanta and 18F and arrived here to 65F. I may not need the warm clothes I brought! I'll be meeting up with a few fellow ASP Insiders /MVP's on Tuesday night, notably Rachel Reese and

Every time I get a new computer it takes a month before everything is back the way it was; all program s installed and configured, browser favorites, desktop icons, quick launch, etc, etc. Here's one thing that I always need to do - stop XP treating zip

I'm so grateful for being made a Microsoft MVP again in 2005 - everyone wins from this sort of award, since it makes the recipients feel good and become even more evangelical for the company handing out the awards and freebies. Over at Dozing Dogs we're

The tsunami is of course on our minds too these days. More images and movies surface every day, but I have been so impressed by the way some people have gone out of their way to help. Take Julie Lerman for example - she's working on this 18-20 hours each

After what seems like a long time away, I'm back to work. Christmas, then a trip away to Savannah for a week, then starting anew with two new computers - man, what a lot to install and configure. <lightbulb> Here's an idea for someone - write an
