I’m releasing he first beta version of WheatBlog today (v.01b). I tried in vain to get it quickly released using the packaging tools at Sourceforge, so I’m going to upload it to my personal account and link it from there as soon as I can get the databases and tables created (I worked on it for a little while, but something still isn’t right).
A little over a month ago (June 3rd, to be exact) I got an email from my high school sweetheart, Lisa, whom I lost touch with sometime prior to 1995 (not sure exactly when). We had a good time catching up on things, and with the miracles of modern technology, I think we’ll be able to stay in touch (god bless email–the best invention since letter writing). Anyway, Lisa stumbled across this blog and thought she deserved a mention (and she does) so here it is. :)
Also to be filed in the “long lost” department, I’ve recently been in contact with my birth-father, Tawn Rose. When I first met Vicki, she passed his email address along to me and we exchanged a few messages. But we really didn’t talk much until recently, when he too stumbled across this blog and heard that my dad (that being my adoptive father, Jack) was ill. He called me on the telephone about that and we’ve exchanged a few emails since then. In fact, I’m probably going to be helping him to launch a web site for a new magazine he’s publishing (he publishes magazines for CPAs dealing with software. His last one, CPA Software News has been going for a long time and is very respected in it’s field). He’s also looking into helping me find a publisher for the BassBook. So I’m going to buy a copy of Finale and work up some nice standard notation + tab music examples for it.
