I can't decide if this is screamingly funny, just scary, or sad:

Job Change -- AGAIN

Today was my last day at ProQuest. Looks like I'm done with web sites and back to the world of embedded software again. This is exciting; I get to go back to the world of "when men were men and wrote their own device drivers."

Angel Update

We have a new breeding pair! Not that it will do any good yet ...

Background: the spawning/rearing tank was getting far too gross with algae, and we were getting no success. So, my last brilliant idea was to place our pair back into the main tank, with the other four angels we have. Two are a purchased pair of white blushing angels, and the other two ar e we saved from the sucessful spawn we had earlier this year, one silver and one marble.

So, today we have new angel eggs -- no surprise, Mom and Dad spawned not that long ago. But on closer look, our silver female laying the eggs was our second generation silver, not our original Momma. I guess we have that one sexed now.

Guess I'd better get busy on cleaning and restarting that other tank. :)

"Mommy, you're the best homeschool mommy in the world!"

-- David, today.

Today was the first day of formal homeschooling for the year. I guess the kids are excited. :)

And it was wonderful going to the Project Grow potluck/meeting tonight and being told how happy and relaxed our kids seemed to be. Not that we're doing this for public affirmation, but it's great to hear some positive feedback once in a while.

Light blogging ahead

Since SiteMeter claims I actually have a handful of faithful readers (much to my shock and suprise), I suppose I should let everyone (OK, all three of you) know that the blogging has been and shall be slowing down for a bit. As if you hadn't noticed already.

I was hoping this blog would encourage me to write more; unfortunately I find I'm spending the time surfing and not actually writing.
