Back safe --

I got a call or two that indicated there was concern that 1MinnesotaGirl and I had vanished off the face of the earth. Not to worry -- we have made it back, part of our list accomplished, and now are frantically dealing with the fallout of 10 days gone without web access (basically, when we reached a hotel with wireless, we were too whipped to post. And the computers were kept in the bedroom of our hosts, which made a quick email check awkward -- at least for us!)

Yes, I wrote. More today, I hope.

( I've lost a friend, and 1MinnesotaGirl a mother )

Yeah, that's me....

...but only because I'm researching the next two books I'm working on.

IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST

Why I hate web maintenance....

So -- I spend the afternoon sifting stuff from a half a dozen sources, trying to build a couple of pages for one of my big clients, who are entering into a tussle with the legislative bills being proposed. I launch the pages, they look great, I check every link -- and I tell the president that she can check the site. I get home from class, she likes everything, all is well. Then I decide to double-check the .pdfs I posted, because you never know if you've blinked and forgot to make the target "_blank" or something....

And lo and behold, the ONE link that isn't a pdf I made, to the NCES/government site -- the link is ALREADY A COBWEB!

Some days I hate this job. I was suspicious of this industry from the first, and so far nothing has happened to change my mind.

I'm dreaming of Macs....
