Work in Progress

Here's another photo I had to snap yesterday just to test something in iPhoto '08 (a cool new white-balance tool for fixing color casts).

 

This is part of the table of contents for my book. Yellow is a very good thing. My highlighter makes me happy.

 

My email program (Microsoft Entourage) crashed a little while ago, and may have taken a month's worth of email with it.

 

I will ignore -- and maybe even delete -- any comments asking why I hadn't backed it up lately.

 

The email database is rebuilding now, all 4GB worth. I'm watching its little progress bar crawl from left to right, suspense building with every minute.

 

It's like Indiana Jones, only boring.

 

Because Entourage has already crashed while trying to rebuild its database, I'm just letting that computer chug away. I'm posting this from another Mac.

 

According to the progress bar, the database is almost rebuilt. Are you gripping the arms of your chair yet?

 

*Drums fingers on desk*.

 

I'd like to try skydiving sometime. As long as Microsoft doesn't make my parachute.

 

It's a sunny, crystal-blue morning here. Sophie's pal Marley should be showing up for a morning walk in about 15 minutes.

 

Still here? Why?

 

Almost done...

 

Closer...

 

SUCCESS! Email recovered. Elation. Or at least less disgust.

 

Sorry I kept you so long.
