The New Look!
Thank you for your patience. Today began with a whimper and quickly went downhill from there! I accidentally hit the wrong breaker switch when I arrived here this morning--managing to shut down Hal (my main workstation) the Android Live display system, and all the audio and video gear.
By the time I got everything going, clients began their time vampirism!
I had intended to begin the redesign of the blog today and had fully intended to have it completed by 9 AM. Obviously, I did not meet this target time.
The basics are in place now. Throughout the balance of the day (and, most likely, well into tomorrow) I shall be reconfiguring the CATCam and other features.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the new look!
