Thursday Tidbits

• A friend was in town attending the Educause Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference in Baltimore this week.  My friend is also known as Mr. Fantasy.  We got together for dinner and conversation, as I had not seen him since I attended the Novell TTP Conference back in July.  Dinner at Amicci’s was pretty good.  As I was in Little Italy, I can never resist a visit to Vaccaro’s.   Once there, I enjoyed a delicious cannoli and latte.  After eating more in last night than I have all week, we parted ways.  I then immediately went to bed.  I had a good time, and it was great to catch up with a friend. 
• Duke still sucks. 
• Tonight is another session in what my friends and I call Liquid Therapy.  In our group, someone picks a bar or pub in the area that we tend not to frequent or have never been to at all.  I learned this morning that tonight is my choice.  I have not been to the Owl Bar in some time, so tonight’s session of Liquid Therapy will be there. 
• This week, I have had three friends with various computer issues contact me.  One reminded me in a rather obtuse way that my contact information is not conveniently located on my blog.  I need to fix that.  I have been pondering a slight theme change, so I will work on that this weekend.  On the computer issues, I am still waiting for two of them to get back to me with more details.  The foibles of being an admitted geek, I suppose. 
• Speaking of geekery, I found out that Thunderbird 1.5 is out.  Thunderbird is the open-source successor to Netscape Mail developed by the same great minds behind Firefox.  I use it for my other IMAP mail accounts and to POP my Gmail.  I am downloading it right now. 

 Time to get back to the grind.
