As a consultant one is often at the whims of a capricious client. When that client is part of the federal government, capriciousness takes on new meanings. The recent death of President Ford has resulted in an “Official Day of Mourning” with all federal offices closed.

The extra day off is nice enough I suppose, especially coming on the heels of a three day weekend. However, trying to fit 32 hours of work into a now very short three-day work week will not be fun. Or easy.

Still, it beats a sharp stick in the eye.

About

The author is a 45 year old technologist with a healthy interest in computers, software, linguistic trends, interfaces, and general nerdliness. Not satisfied with a single laptop, or operating system for that matter, he totes an aging Apple Powerbook G4 (Titanium) and a Lenovo Z60m back and forth nearly everywhere he goes. His motto could be, “if one computer is good, several have to be better.”

Recently he has taken up karate again and plans to devote much, if not all, of the posting here to his experiences regaining dimly remembered fitness, flexibility, and technique.
