I’m back after three weeks and a day of vacation. All in all I had a great time. I spent a week in Seattle, spent several days on a redesign of this site, installed several new software packages on the server, upgraded several others, read 3 novels, watched at least 10 movies, and slept more than I have in months. Today it’s back to the grind, with a full work schedule due to the impending start of a new semester. I’ll start talking about some of the new stuff over the course of this week as time permits.
