Boy, it’s been quiet around here, eh?

It’s been a surprisingly busy weekend with Erin in Houston. Not to
be left out of the generally-boisterous Thanksgiving experience, I
managed to get myself invited to Chris’s family’s (well-attended!)
feast, at which I had a great time. Back home, it’s cleaning, hunting
for episodes of Changing Rooms to tape, and more run-ins with the Evil
Neighbors (it turns out that part of the reason that the
heads-of-household are perpetually out of town is that the dad is a
United employee … the other part of the reason, of course, being that
their fully-grown live-in children are Hellbeastes).

Working on software too. Hope to finish a new screensaver
sometime this week. In the meantime, borkware has some handy
OS X programming tips
as well as another retro
screensaver
