Did not accomplish everything planned

Did not accomplish everything planned this last week. Did manage to find some time Saturday morning to paid my gate. Living in Phoenix, AZ is hard on any wood exposed to the elements. The only wood so exposed are the slats on a metal gate that provides access to back yard. We have been in this house for almost 4 years and the gate has never been painted. It was a very rewarding feeling to leave everything else and just paint the gate.

My attempts to install AbiWord on a Mac G4 and Linux met with mixed results. Never got in to install on a RedHat box and the Mac install only runs under X11. Under X11 the interface is poor at best. Seem to remember reading on slashdot that the AbiWord developers are unhappy with Apples support and as a consequence taken the position not to develop an aqua interface. To bad, this could have been a really nice cross platform product.

Made significant progress on a rework on the nQueue site. The site owner is to be complemented in providing overwhelming design input. One of the very few jobs where one really knew what the customer wanted.

Have been looking at the advertisement for the new Palm Tungsten C. Very tempting. Have spent some time playing with the Tungsten. Like its size, brilliant color screen, and functionality. One feature was missing, in my view, and that was a good 802.11b interface. It seems like this issue has now been addressed. Might pick one up and take it for a test drive.

Did manage to get a little more work complete on Your Development Team, LLC site. This is a complete rework including getting all the portfolio item to word in demo mode. Reworked the mySql database connection and table structure to get the poetman site working. Need to make a little progress every week.

Have not worked on my Newton Note project this week. Looks like it will be a little longer then I had hoped to get something out for testing.
