Starting work on an acceptable user behaviour statement, with help from one of the users. I wish there was some way to make people read the help files, the usual lament of tech support ("It's in the flipping help file! Can't you READ?! Oh, your

Quantum Tea

Finally I have a name for my web site that I am entirely happy with. Quantum Tea. I get through a lot of tea, and, while there is a book called "The Quantum Rose," (the site's former name), there is nothing else called Quantum Tea. Now

Claw Marks

I wish I'd thought of this as a name for my blog. I'd call the archives "The Scratching Post." Oh well. Sehlat has a blog and it's my fault.

House hunting with powertools

Tiring day. At 9am we were in a Ford minivan heading out to look at our first house with Janis, our real estate agent. It was a gorgeous brick house in a great location, hardwood floors, dry basement, great kitchen, two bedrooms instead of three, but lots of space. It
