It still works...

So I restored my .emacs file and don't you know? Now my "system" works the way it did before! (No surprise there.) Now, all I have to do is continue to do what I've been doing the past couple of years, and things oughta keep right on truckin' along. (The changes I intended I shall simply implement the old fashioned way—in my mind!)

It turns out there is a Roku channel out there that delivers programming from pretty much all the major Russian channels. I find it's kind of neat to be able to call up this kind of thing on my television, but I'm not at all sure it's worth even $10 per month, which is the rate for the bottom tier of service. My seven-day trial ends this weekend, so we'll see.

Natalie and I are trying to arrange to meet somewhere under the path of totality for the eclipse on August 21, and I plan to drag Huntur and Mathew along with me. Quite a number of places in said path have been booked solid for over a year, so pulling this off is going to be some kind of miracle, but I figure the endeavor alone will be adventure enough (and I'm pretty sure we will find ourselves in the path of totality, one way or another!).

The translation plate is clear, for today. I managed to finish all seven documents, with panache I might add.

Invoices go out tomorrow.

Cheers...
