So this post is many, in nature. Ostensibly news about the current state of life, the actual inspiration comes from something as mundane as testing a little PHP snippet I wrote to window the 'latest blog' entry in the upper right block. So far, so good. I am moving forward.

I am skimming time off other responsibilities to do this- and while the list is too long for this humble forum, I can give you a teaser: I am supposed to be packing, for we are moving yet again. This time, inland; from dear Solana Beach (and our miniature aerie-cave-alcove near an oft-dreamt-of yet seldom-visited stretch of beach) to the drier lands of Rancho Peñasquitos (where we heard the celebratory songs of the coyotes, greeting us). And whilst coding is stolen time from packing, packing is stolen time from cooking, and- in some sense of things- all this is stolen time from entertainment, which is what Iryna and I have deprived ourselves of over the last, say, 9 or 10 months. Downloaded episodes of Lost don't count. After all, addictions are no longer entertainment, but rather ends unto themselves.
