Hey folks. It's been a while since I posted so I thought I better give an update. The index page even went blank a few days ago, as it only showed the last 14 days worth of posts. Now it shows 30.

Things have been a little busier with me personally, so I haven't had much free time on my hands. My car was having problems, I was looking for a new place to live, then found a new place to live and now I have to get myself organized and packed and then my grandfather passed away last week at the age of 92. I was also getting settled into my new job at Agnovi, learning the product to put myself into a good position to contribute new things.

An interesting thing about my grandfather was that he was blogger of sorts, and he had been for about forty years. He made a habit out of writing in small journals and datebooks about what went on that day, what the weather was like and who visited. I don't know how many of these little books there are yet but there seem to be a few dozen at least. After his funeral we all sat in my aunt's living room and read these little books and reminisced.

The idea was floated around to type up the journals in Word/WordPerfect so we could read them easier, but naturally I thought blogging software would be a better idea. People even volunteered to help type the books up so all I will have to do is copy and paste. I could just make a print-friendly template in MovableType, and generate some static HTML so that people can read it offline if they want. I'm not sure if that blog would be public some day, but in the short term it would be really neat for the family to browse through.
