So, a long time ago I stumbled upon this program that you download and use to keep a database of your DVD\'s. I registered and everything but never actually managed the download. Today I got an email announcing an upgrade and so I checked it out. Pretty slick. You maintain the database on your system with a pretty easy little interface. You can upload the database to their website (free and premium memberships) so that others can view your DVD collection and a "wish list". For me, this is handy as I\'m a DVDaholic now so it not only shows my family and friends what I already have but what I want. That is as long as I actually maintain it. Check out mine

Woo Hoo finally figured out how to build a php template and am in the process of converting the pages.

Happy Valentines Day to me. Same old same old going on. I'm officially back moderating with SEF now. Wow John is really whiping that place into shape. I was given 2 more forums but not much activity. They have split up the boards to different URL to better focus the communities. So far so good. I'm liking it. But it is a bit weird to get use to. There is a programming forum now that I am really liking. John and NEntropy are going to help me learn PHP so I hope to be converting the site soon. I am really looking forward to digging into that.. should be much fun. I have not really dug into anything *fun* since CSS. New FarScape and SG-1 episodes tonight Yay! Oh - added a new page.. a list of spammers.. pretty boring. Just hoping their emails will get harvested or something equally evil.

So, time for the quarterly update :) 3 months is not sooo bad. I have updated quite a few pages, to many to list, but I started alphabetically. Actually pretty much all of them have been hit. Not much new, still working really long hours. I have resigned at SEF as a moderator over a "difference of opinion" (let us just leave it at that) and joined another forum as administrator - more like Dorm mom tho. Just need to make sure that every stays on their best behavior. Other than that, same old same old. Gearing up to switching the majority of my work to site design and SEM and dropping down my day job, actually it is starting to drop itself down, Direct Mail is not what it use to be but then this time of year is always slow. Oh - Farscape is still canceled - the bone heads.

Good news - DT5 (Dark Tower 5 - Wolves of the Calla, the next installment of the Gunslinger series) is done and just waiting to be published, according to Stephen King's site it is tentatively set to release in hardback Sep 03 with DT6 - Song of Susannah to follow in November and DT7 - The Dark Tower (and supposedly the end of the series) in Mar 04.

[Mom hint! - this would make a good present :D hint - hint - hint !!! ]
