So where was I?

O Yes, crabbing about rain. How nice to have a little while without any. My house needs paint, and now it looks like I may get it done. I've hired the fine folks at Cert A Pro Painters. You can contact Ernie Starr via the WRN link to the left.

Now, back to me. I spent the Saturday, drenched in the rain, helping the parade get going at Saline Celtic Fest. Absolutely fabulous, yannow, aside from the torrential downpour. Sunday was... a blur. Cannot recall a single detail.

Monday, I had a 9:00 with a client in Milan, sorted out their performance issues, and was able to help them with the decision to go ahead with a home network. They have 2 PCs - one connected directly to the DSL modem, the other on dial-up. Take the plunge, I say. Go ahead and wire them both to DSL. I bought them a router and external HD, and we'll finish tomorrow.

Then I drove to the west side and had lunch with a cohort from WRN (Ivan Clemens of Print Tech). We had a good discussion about things both business and not-business related.

I stopped by a client I hadn't seen in awhile after lunch. They need periodic maintenance, so I was able to negotiate a very favorable annual contract with them. They also would like a bid on a custom PC build, and a reasonably priced server. How cool is that?

This is going to be a very busy week.
