My son-in-law got my wife a climbing wall for Christmas - and a new computer for me.
Whee! My wife's in the basement right now - from the sounds of it, probably skittering across the wall. There's a lot of laughter coming up the stairs.
Climbing wall? Basement?? With seven-foot ceilings, it's more of a horizontal than a vertical climb.
The new computer is - a whole lot better than what I was working with. Which was a custom-made job, and quite powerful. Five years ago. When it comes to information technology, a whole lot happens in five years.
The big deal, at the moment, is that the old computer is awaiting a new assignment: and the new one is now on speaking terms with my webcam.
The video feed of which is displayed at Small Town America: Minnesota, "Sauk Centre, Minnesota: near the corner of Ash Street and South 9th."
If you follow that link and don't find live video: remember, I'm in the Central time zone, near the middle of the North American continent. And it's winter.
Under normal conditions, I have the webcam offline for a few hours each evening.
Right now, with a new computer, it's not 'normal conditions,' so I may have run into another, ah, situation.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
