Watching the snow and world go by

Watching the world go by (365:011) — As my errant customer has finally paid me some money, I worked today. Basic website maintenance. It’s not making use of my executive skills, but if someone wants to pay me to do it, that’s fine by me. I like getting my hands dirty every now and then, and it keeps me in touch with web development.
