I'm having entirely too much fun with my digital game camera.  Finally getting to see the after-hours inhabitants of my yard:

Am back home again, and had a visitor to our yard Christmas eve.

After many years of plotting I finally convinced my boss to send me to work in Hawaii for a few weeks.  So, of course, I just had to boast about it to you all. I have a half-day off today, so while others might be seeing sights, I chose to edit this picture on my tiny, no-mouse netbook.

I was cleaning up some broken links in the Winds of Change Archive http://xepher.net/~woc-archive, and I  discovered to my horror that I could no longer upload the corrected pages to the site. Much messing around with ftp settings, pulling out of fur and reading of FAQs ensued.  Finally tracked the problem down to file permissions on the older copies on the website; a bit of chmod magic fixed it!

In the process, I switched from ftp to SSH to upload, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it is no harder to use ssh. so a win all around.
