I had a floppy disk that I took between Win95 & WinNT computers, & the Briefcase feature made syncing files *so* easy. It's probably the only feature of any Windows version I actually miss.

I have finally, actually finished a project I started: my static website generator! Of course, immediately after I uploaded the package, I spotted typos & grammatical errors, & I had to pack up & upload a revision.

A bit of superstition: It looks like I'll finally finish my static website generator during the waxing half of the lunar cycle. I think that's a good thing, but a bit of doubt lingers.

Have I actually finished a project I started at last? Not quite yet, but all I have to do is proofread and tweak its readme file, and my static website generator will be ready to unleash on an unsuspecting world!

Honestly, I don't expect much of anyone to want to use it. It uses Make, M4, & Markdown to generate pages, & it's best used with a CLI text editor, not anything GUI or shiny or "modern." But it's perilously close to finished!

The cold was actually the flu. I got over it after two whole miserable weeks, but a whole month later I still have the sore throat & cough from hell.

New year, new cold.

A Holden Commodore screeches to a halt. The Commodores Greatest Hits blares from within until the car is turned off. I open the door & emerge with a Commodore SX-64 carried like a briefcase. I turn to the camera, smiling & holding up a finger from my free hand. A disembodied voice sings the jingle, "Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Because the Commodore is keeping up with you."
