A New Home
I've been keeping a LiveJournal account for almost a year, and I decided it was time to move on. So here I am, with my very own domain name.
With any luck, I'll be able to import my old entries. Otherwise, I'll just start from scratch again. I'm hoping that Kevin will be able to help me improve the style of this blog (who knew that Movable Type could be so complicated?) to make it more "me".
And, of course, since I'll be away for the next two weeks, I don't expect much to be happening. But come April, there will be a lot of time for introspection!
Incidentally, I just finished reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I knew that it was considered a challenging read, but I didn't expect it to take me almost two weeks to get through. And although I admit it was quite intriguing (a series of murders, a library labyrinth, general discourse on philosophy--oh my!), I found the ending to be a little too Rebecca for my taste.
Also, after much praise from several colleagues, I have abandoned Internet Explorer in favor of Firefox. So far, so good. I like having the ability to change styles, add extensions, etc. Right now, my favorite discovery is an extension that embeds the local weather forecast in the internet browser. Tomorrow's forecast for Karlskrona: Snow showers, 30 degrees (Farenheit, no less). Right now: 16 degrees and fair skies.
