My programming project has mired significantly. I've switched from managing the data in SQL to Access for short term convenience because VB 2003 .net doesn't support what I want to do extensively enough for now without writing entire toolboxes of interface routines.

Meanwhile, my sideline tech business is suddenly burgeoning. If it stays steady, I might be able to cut back to part time at my day job. Imagine that!

On the down side, I have had no time whatsoever to consider writing any new fiction. Alas, all my ideas coming to me in the hot steamy shower every morning are mouldering and dying from lack of application.

Oh well, if I can find a good, substative text on working with Access databases in VB I could actually stand to make some real dollars. That would free me to do more creative work (why do I have the feeling of "famous last words"?).

I've often wondered if anyone reads these blogs, but after a few entries, I'm actually reading back on my own and wondering if this might be the next step in my life to organize myself in a way I've never had the discipline to do in the past

Anyway, y'all have fun
