Introverts and extraverts may seem the same on the surface, but if you look at the way they respond to life’s everyday occurrences, differences begin to emerge. Last month, for example, Science of

I have been woefully remiss in posting here. Let’s just assume nothing has happened in the last few months, and move along.
GCA: GCA hit 3700 downloads at e23 today.
I’m not much of a photographer, but I do like snapping the occasional pic. In the past, I’d sometimes post random pics into my Photo of the Moment page, but I haven’t done that in a while. In the future, I’ll be using my Flickr stream for such things, and you can find my most recent Flickr pics over on the right side (I only have two so far). Advance warning: I’ll be using my phone camera for such things, too, and it’s kinda crappy, so not all the pics will turn out very well.
It’s a light week for blogging, I guess, at least since the new blog. Not a lot new to talk about. I am trying another variation on the blog theme I’ve been using for a while, though.
I’ve been spending most of my programming time split between VB.NET (with the lion’s share) and REALbasic, which I’m also trying to get up to speed on after having owned it for several years now. REALbasic seems to feel more like what I’m used to, although I think I’m going to have to use VB.NET for a number of work projects, regardless. If I can come to terms with some of the feature differences between VB6 and REALbasic, though, I may use REALbasic for a future GCA version. Nothing definite, yet, although I’m pretty happy with a lot of what I’m seeing right now.
I saw The Dark Knight on Monday. It was very good. Nothing profound to say about it. In recent weeks I’ve also seen Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Hancock, and Wanted. Enjoyed all of them. I may be easily pleased; not sure.
I’m probably going to play around, apparently randomly, with some other themes for this here blog. I may or may not stick with any one of them for any length of time, but we’ll see. Customizing them will be a bit more of a chore than I’d like, so I’m going to try to find one I mostly like, first. So, do not be distressed if this place doesn’t look like it did before, it probably won’t look like this for long, either.
