BERJAYAHappy July 4 Holiday Permanent link to this item in the archive.

This is the beginning of a holiday weekend in the USA.

The birth of our country.

I'm getting started by doing two things:

1. I ordered a new iMac, a 27-inch honker. The old machine is getting really old. One by one things are breaking. And I deserve a new mainframe because I'm doing such good work on Scripting2. (If I say so myself.)

2. We now have a small community of users for Scripting2, having booted up a few of them at last night's meetup at NYU. So my immediate priority is implementing community features for the server. Things like a log page, a group RSS feed. Making it easy for people to set their prefs, etc.

We're enjoying some really fine weather here in NYC.
