alexpgpI went down to the market to pick up some ham for our annual ham-and-blackeyed-peas soup, and on my initial pass through the store, picked up an armful of stuff, but no ham. Fortunately, I managed to catch the shortage while in the parking lot, so I went back and got the ham.
Efforts to migrate the old home-brew machine to the used home-brew that I picked up from one of our clients goes slowly. Just now I tried to put a dent in the item due Monday, and realized I needed to install a piece of software I wrote several years ago that basically does a "serial grep" on a text glossary file and does a formatted output (for example, the query "for dig" would find entries for "foreign dignitary" as well as "performance digest"). The reason I need to install it is because my comprehensive aerospace glossary is in a format usable by the program, which works a lot better than trying to do searches in Word documents.
A little over 4.5 hours left in the year, and I have to say: big deal. I don't feel festive at all.
But I am sure that'll change, if I give it half a chance.
Happy New Year, all!
Cheers...
