I haven’t been traveling so it hasn’t been needed, and it’s fallen behind. Not that I’m planning any traveling in the near future, but you never know when the ‘net connection is going to crap out at work again, so having an up-to-date laptop is never a bad emergency plan.

    I didn’t notice it earlier but Angela just pointed out the new stuff in the blogger interface. Now posting operates a bit more like Word, I can change fonts, colors and sizes, I can center text and there are keyboard shortcuts for all of that stuff. Not sure how much I’l really use this, but…
