In the midst of a voluminous, teetering load of honest to goodness work, I’ve managed to steal away a few minutes to install the latest release of Panther. Excuse me while I wander off and muck around a bit… Perhaps I can find a way to present a little show and tell later on, while … More

Hello. Remember me? Oh good. I just took a bit of a summer break there. It’s nice to see that almost everything is still working somewhat. What was I doing? Oh, you know… sitting on the beach. Throwing the kids into the lake. Kicking back, enjoying the weather. And pretty much avoiding all of the … More
