Almost Vacation Time
Well... today's been a good day so far, and I'm going to work hard to keep it that way. I upgraded sherman to Mac OS X 10.2.3 and was very happy to see that Apple had fixed the SMTP over SSL so that I can send emails from anywhere my iBook is connected to the net. This is a very nice addition as I now don't really need to get the .Mac account to be able to send email from work. Not a major problem, but very nice to have.
I also upgraded to 0.32a of Fire the ICQ/MSN/AOL/Yahoo IM client that I run on sherman to chat with friends and family and got a few nice things there, but wasn't really needing any of them. Still, nice to see that it's still actively being developed.
Finally, today is the last day before I take off a week and a half for Christmas Vacation. I won't be back in the office until Jan 2, 2003. I really need this week and a half (with two holiday days in there). Today is, after all, the last day for all those that were given the news on Red Tuesday. I'm going to miss the Team a whole lot. It's going to be a big change not to see them daily. Sad times.
But I'm going to try and stay up-beat today because I physically feel bad enough with a bad chest cold coming on strong and feeling very very tired. I don't need to let this all get to me mentally too.
