Technical Difficulties


We all have technical difficulties sometimes. Life is inherently messy. Right now, I am discovering that photos eat up storage space on my host server a lot faster than I anticipated; and of course movies will do so even more. So I must upgrade to more storage space. Also I am learning some new things in order to do what I want to do next on this web site. In the middle of all this, I am going to be in China for a bit more than a week on business. So, there will be a slight delay in new blog posts while I get all this sorted out, but they will resume very shortly. In fact, I look forward to showing some pictures of my China trip as soon as I get back, including the Great Wall. I will be making a whirlwind trip to many parts of China.

In addition to movies, photos, artblog posts, commentary etc. I am planning some new features on Python and other scripting language subjects. In the meantime, I want to point out that there is a voluminous amount of material I have posted on this site over the last six months, and now would be a great time to explore the volumes ;-))) Some of the best stuff may be tucked away in nooks and crannies.

And, I will try to stay in touch a little while in China by posting to the discussion board. All in all, I have a lot planned for this site; the trip isn't all that long, and before the Fourth of July I hope to see some fireworks here on AwareTek.

I am aware that the discussion forum is not user friendly and it irks me and I will fix it. In the meantime, I think you can enter a post under any name (including anonymous) and just leave the "password" field blank, and it should accept your post *without* the tiresome need to "register". At least that works when I try it, and I apologize for the request of "registration" which I am not interested in, it is just a "feature" of the darn forum software I am using that I haven't yet figured out how to turn off. As I said, technical difficulties, welcome to our world.

If you haven't yet, please explore the Cave below. I'll "see" you all soon, wish me luck in China, and in my rapidly changing life at work and away from cyberspace. My wife bought me a copy of "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" for Father's Day, and so maybe I'll read it on the plane and then finally get around to reading "the Agony and the Ecstasy". I have oft heard it said that artists and scientists often create their greatest works during their most stress filled periods when they have the most obstacles to overcome. Think of Beethoven and the Ninth Symphony when he was completely deaf and suffering from severe nervous system dysfunction probably caused by mercury and lead poisoning. Well, none of us are Beethoven or Michelangelo but if stress causes us to do good things, then watch out world, here we come! ;-)))

I pray that all is well with you and yours.

please stop by the

Discussion Forum

and leave us a message ;-))) and if it dysfunctions even worse than I expect, well, welcome to Technical Difficulties...
