Puerto Rico Trip

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

I don’t usually talk about work per se here, but so much time and effort has gone into this that I want to mention it.
It’s been a busy, international week for me and my staff. As I was getting back from San Salvador, one of my technologists was heading off to Puerto Rico to accompany […]

I just finished organizing the photos from the San Salvador trip, and that seems as good an excuse as any to finally talk a little bit bit about the conference itself. The problem, of course, is that I really don’t have a lot to say about it, mostly because I […]

Wanderlust

How I learned to stop worrying and love XSLT

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

With a little help from the folks on the Literature and Latte forums, I have been gently massaging Scrivener into something I might want to write a dissertation in.
