Been A While

Wow, my last post was a tad over three weeks ago. Seems longer. With a combination of increasing workload, decreasing interest in anything outside of work other than SOMA*, there hasn't been anything even *I* think is worth jotting down. Kids are busy with school  and that is going well, thank Hermes (god of knowledge), Titan (god of intellect) and Athena (goddess of wisdom). As time progresses, I am more and more impressed with Sage Ridge. All I can say is I consider myself fortunate to be able to afford to send my kids there, though it is a fiscal challenge.

A couple of things I have done at work are kind of interesting that I intend to post about in the near future. I need to lock them down a bit more, then I'll post them in all their glory. One is a SQL query generator for non-SQL folks, and the other is a comment and review tool that hides a LOT of the complexity of Microsoft  Word's Track Changes functionality, without hamstringing it. Both very useful for my peeps.

I was going to be doing the timing for the Safe and Sober fundraising race for Carson High School this past Saturday. Despite assuring all pre-registrants at packet pick up on Friday night that the race was going off regardless of weather, the Race Director called it a couple of hours prior to the event due to footing conditions. I can't fault him for erring on the side of caution, but I suppose the claims made the night before were a bit spurious.

For anyone in the northern Nevada area interested in running some shorter and fun trail races, there is a series of them starting this Saturday. Check ccrunners.com if that strikes your fancy.
