Ok, so I lied (a bit)

Last week I posted that work was getting busy and the blog would likely go dark.

Well, that was a bit of a white lie.  In fact, the blog went dark because the kids and I went east to attend a surprise birthday party for my Father's 70^th birthday.

Unfortunately, since he sometimes reads my blog, I had to lie to keep the surprise :).

It was a lot of fun (if very short), most of the family was there, it was great seeing everyone again.

Anyway, sorry for that, I'm back now (and wading through the 400 email messages in my inbox). Hopefully I'll get out from under it and get more technical content out for tomorrow.

  My inexpert opinion suggests you have character encoding issues going on (posting UTF-8 when the server's expecting and is serving Windows-1252, or similar?)
