Nicole's Notes

In other news... Penny went for her annual check-up (she's gained only 0.3 lbs., what a good little kitty!) and Socks recently became an it. He's now only a little smaller than she is! In fact, Socks has nearly doubled his weight since he moved in with us. They are still not getting along. I'm hoping that familiarity will blunt contempt.

My sister, Steph, successfully moved to Calgary, and now has a job working for Sleeman's marketing department. It's really a perfect fit for her, as anyone who knows Steph will tell you!

Jason's BBS Documentary has pre-sold over 250 DVDs at this point. There was a "beta premiere" in California at the Vintage Computer Festival, which is held at the Computer History Museum. The museum was fascinating for anyone who is into computers. They have a panel from ENIAC there, and an Apple I on loan from the Woz! We were there so that Jason could talk about the making of his movie, and judge audience reactions. I think things went really well. I was impressed, anyhow, but I might be kind of biased. The artwork for the DVD went to the manufacturer today, and hopefully the stuff actually going on the DVDs will be there before long. I'm doing the english subtitling and making suggestions.

We're making plans to go to Toronto for Xmas. We'll probably drive, and we're not certain if we'll bring the cats or not. The issue is finding someone willing to look in on them a couple of times a day, and hoping that they don't kill each other while we're gone, versus being stuck in a car with two unhappy (and feuding) cats for hours on end. Meow Meow. Hmm. I don't suppose there's any chance I can convince the gang to come down here for New Year's, is there? Rumour had it that Kristen wasn't sure she could get the cottage...

What's with all these people spawning? Shag and Chantal Jones had their second daughter; Chris Carlton's firstborn is a boy; Kristen Hall is pregnant with her second. Egad. So adult.

I installed Trillian today at work and on the laptop at home. Handy thing, letting me chat with folks on ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, Y! Messenger, etc. I'm wondering if I'll get any work done, however. :) Oh well.
