The cranberry wine is all nice and bottled up. It’s nice and sweet, and this time I made sure to add stabilizer so that it wouldn’t come back to life in the bottle. I also managed to prep the exact number of bottles I needed and just one extra cork.

No, I’m not dead yet.
Yes, I know that’s part of a Monty Python skit, but I’m not going to link to it.
Ok, ok. Here. Happy now?

I’m at a filmmaking seminar. It’s a work thing, so they’re footing the bill for the weekend. Meals and all sundries.

| Oooohaaaaah…. shiny! You probably have an incredibly stable and well-maintained group of friends… that probably also don’t get out much either. You’re not one to get bogged down by a problem. Of course, I’m basing this upon Chromium’s ultra-low water-exchange constant and it’s corrosion-resistant properties, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if the analogy doesn’t even apply. |

I’ve been learning more CSS stuff for some work sites and I’m contemplating doing a redesign of the ‘blog to incorporate some of what I’ve learned.
Not that I think a new design would be better or anything. I just want to use some toys I found.

“So how much would a website cost?”
Uh oh.
I hate when a client comes in and asks something like that. Mostly because there isn’t an answer.
