Ah, tradition!

Every Easter for, um, quite a few years now we've had a small, informal party featuring an Easter-egg hunt or two (one for little kids, one for older kids; this year chaoswolf has offered to hide them for the adults: the concept of an adult Easter-egg hunt is intriguing) followed by devilled eggs and charcoal-broiled rabbit, plus whatever the guests (if any) bring in.

The rabbit has been known to cause problems if the kids bring the leftovers to school on Monday. Not a problem this year, since next week is Spring Break.

Finally finding the groove again

Spent a couple of hours last night fixing my website updating code -- my ISP finally did the sensible thing and eliminated updating by FTP (you can still upload, but you can't overwrite existing files), so I finally got around to making the changes I've been thinking about for years, starting with using ssh and having a per-site configuration file controlling the upload.

It's good to finally have recovered some motivation for working on my personal software projects; for too long I've been content to merely think about them (I love work; I can sit and watch it for hours). Hope I can keep it up.
