I know it's been a long time since we've seen some new pictures on this blog. Sorry, sorry, sorry! It's all my fault. You see...

I was reading about how it's good to take pictures in raw format with digital cameras since it gives you more editing capability while still keeping the quality very high. (A good thing, because our pictures tend to come out kinda dark at first. Probably because we keep taking them when we're inside. Probably because we're always inside. Probably because we're actually a family of vampires. Bet you didn't know that, huh. <grin>) So I spend about two weeks taking pictures using the .nef format of our Nikon, ONLY TO FIND the photoshop version we had won't convert them. <pout> So, therein started a journey of installing new software, dealing with the fact that it's been about 5 years since I bought my computer and technology has marched on in the meantime, and basically having everything crash. A few times. <sigh>

Well, I'm back up now -- mostly -- and I can finally access those pictures I took! Much rejoicing all around and now I need to actually start posting them.

I also designed a webpage for Salon Io. Feel free to look and tell me what you think. (And if you see typos -- let me know! We actually had the website up for about a week before a client pointed out that I'd put in the phone number as (201) instead of (210). My bad!)

And last, but not least, here's Kylie sleeping in her favorite place -- her swing.

Sometimes I really wonder at my masochistic streak.

Movabletype (the software which powers this blog) just barely finished the beta'ing for its new release and officially announced that Movabletype 4.0 was ready to roll on Wednesday. So of course I decided to spend part of my day off upgrading to the new version. And then I proceeded to spend the *rest* of my day off, trying to figure out how to fix the stuff that was no longer working <sigh>. It's now freakin'-early-in-the-morning (and yes, that is the technical term) and everything is working - well enough.

So don't mind the new look, it probably won't be there for long, and for those of you who know nothing about computer and software and programming and are proud of it -- I really, really envy you.

(p.s. Does anyone else out there ALWAYS get the difference between "its" and "it's" wrong on a first draft? It is my punctuational waterloo. <grin>)
