The trip to and from Newport yesterday was considerably enlivened by wind and brief bursts of snow; in fact the meeting with Jim Hetley was a little late since he waited out a snow squall that would have left driving sight-distance at about ten hood-lengths.... By the way, despite the lack of 9000 motels, I finally realized that the Newport-Palmrya offramp region reminds me of Breezewood, PA. I haven't been to Breezewood in some years...

Else, fairly domestic yesterday around some writing and technical things for the new srmpublisher.com catalog ... need to change the SKUs on a bunch of things before it becomes onerous, might change some catalog settings. Still learning the new back-end for SRM, which is capable of some very useful imports, reports, and exports. Oh yeah, am pleased to report the catalog will have some more *signed* Jim Hetley books up RSN.

Also domestic ... Elan bopped about Second Life for an hour or so while other things were going on here (got out the cat-eating machine for a quick run around the kitchen, living room, hall, and my office, used some baking soda on the co-pilot's chair, brought boxes of books in from the car... and Elan finally found himself a stud earring that he could modify to the proper shade. So there. If you need a modable stud earring in SL, IM Elan Neruda and he'll send you to the spot...

Coffee -- I haz it. Fud -- I needz it.

If busy is good, I'm doing great ...

for example, in less than an hour I need to many miles away, with my car to get it repaired. Lucky me.

So ...

At Boskone... we introduced (and handed out quite a few) badge ribbons to stick across the bottom of the con badge/badge holders ... I'm sure you've seen them... colorful and fun. Ours say:

1 Vote For Boss Conrad
I Follow Theo Waitley
Monday is For Saltation
Read Advertently
The Stars Are Dancing
Flaran Cha' menthi

we have some left and are looking for folks to hand them out at cons (and take SRM fliers, too, possibly)... but we're also looking ahead to Denvention to see which badge ribbons we should be sure to have more of, and what other such ribbons we really ought to have ... We need time to plan and budget for these, so now is not too soon.

Meanwhile, I've been working hard with Andre the webguy to get the new SRM catalog in gear. It *is* approaching gear, but let's be truthful ... this is still beta. If you want to *look at it* you can go to http://srmpublisher.com and take a gander. I think the ordering system is in gear, but, it *is beta* and we're still adjusting things ... I still need to get the ISBNs in for example, and not all the categories are complete... meanwhile, I have a box of catch-up orders that will not be getting out today because the advice of all concerned about my car is *to not pass go, do not go to the PO, drive the car directly to the dealer and crossfingers* ... so those things will get mailed tomorrow.

Tonight is supposed be chess night for me. We shall see.
