I continued shopping with Jen last night for dresses for a weddin’ in Texas. We were able to find two very beautiful dresses in what I’m told is a sheath style, very inexpensively, with a sexy pair of shoes. I know how hard it is to find the right outfit, and we did it (with a backup) in about 2 hours last night. Plus, I found a groovy pair of nubuck saddle shoes and nice German-made steak knives. I like Marshall’s a LOT.
On the train ride home yesterday I was able to get the layout for the May log together; I cribbed form a design I saw yesterday, but altered it and made it work for me. I like it, and I’m excited to use a font style other than Verdana- I dislike serifed fonts in HTML (Times New Roman,) but I think this layout lends itself to Georgia well. Note: use Clarendon…
Quote of the Day: “There were too many of us, we had access to many-too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane.”

Tonight:
- Check out/press the green suit and white dress shirt.
- Install VirtualPC on the 8500 –> load the SMC software –> configure the router –> bring up the NT box and set it up for access –> get the laptop configured
- Continue loading/installing software on Jen’s 8100
- Laundry/packing for the weekend
I started playing with AvantGo, the Palm software, this afternoon, after reading about them on News.com. It’s pretty cool, and the software works really well. I have a Palm IIIxe, and I’ve been using about 0.0005 of the available 8MB of memory. What it does is load a fresh copy of channel info onto your Palm every time you HotSync- mostly webpages from places like CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and others. Then you can take it with you and (providing your batteries are good) read the daily news while waiting on the train.
Unfortunately they just laid off 50 people in order to remain competitive. Sorry, folks. They should have charged for the service (shhh) and created a better business plan for themselves.
