What Monday?

Err... So, what did HTTP do to save the world Monday?

I had a seminar scheduled at the Senior Center. It was designed to be a free seminar, targeting Internet related issues. It was billed, however, as a fee-based seminar on general computer issues. One solitary person registered, and she didn't show up. I was not amused.

Spent the rest of the day with miscellaneous stuff. I tried to get the dog fence wires through the wall (I drilled the masonry, then had to run out and buy a longer bit to get through the wood frame of the foundation. Yes, I know it was obvious, but I'm not a builder.) but the hole is a tad snug. I'll have to widen it from the inside.

Anyway, lets just move right in to Tuesday, shall we.

I went to BNI and said my goodbyes. That old crew is dwindling down to naught; sad to see. I couldn't remain though, the quantity and quality of referrals had dropped off to nil. Can't have that.

Then, I went to the club and helped a client with his laptop. Crapware, updates, &c; he's all happy now. Next, I drove out to the HBA and took in a seminar on Green Building. Now there's a cash cow, I tell you what.

While there, my phone rang: A client has a laptop that died. I went over after the seminar, and performed last rites. It has a video subsystem that suffers greatly (whitewashed/streaky/barely visible display), and letting it go to its reward is the only humane thing to do. He's purchased a new one, and it should be delivered soon. He'll then schedule a time for me to come by and do the secure/optimize/migrate thing.

While there, my phone rang. A local web design firm is a bit short handed, so they called me up from the minors. A small site, a few pages based on a static template, in a fixed size client window. Can I do it? Put me in, coach.

Ah, back home now... I think I'll go drill a wall or something.
I wish that was a euphemism.
