Hi HolyGeek CurlChatters and Friends -
Just so you know, i won't be able to make the CurlChats on Monday and Wednesday this week. Monday morning, I am starting a new job - same employer i left back in December, but a new position.
For the first two or three days, i will not have a computer of my own - the person i am replacing will still be there and i will be working side by side with him at his computer watching and learning.
It is likely that i will be spending much of the week in training, but at some point i will have my own computer and my own accounts and my own browser and my own wordpad and what more does a girl need?
Most likely the netpolice there are going to outlaw ICQ and the IM clients (as they did in the past), but i may be able to install Curl as it is a legitimate programming language. And i suppose there will be the same corporate snoopware as in times past...
So, since it's going to be the same company in the same building as before, i expect things will settle back into the same sort of routine i had for the past 4 1/2 years. I like that notion. :)
love and peace,
joyce
PS - Speaking of routine, someting NOT routine at all. You have heard of white hats and black hats? Now they have white lobsters:
This lobster pales in comparison

A rare discovery three miles south of Provincetown in Cape Cod Bay has marine biologists scratching their heads.
For the first time since 1998, a white lobster has been caught in New England.
With 25 million lobsters caught every year, New England Aquarium lobster scientist Dr. Michael Tlusty estimates the odds of seeing a white lobster at 1 in 100 million.
``It's one of those things it's neat to see but it shows no matter how much you know there's always something out there waiting,'' said Dr. Tlusty. ``There's always a surprise around the corner.''
A surprise that flabbergasted Dan Holmes, the 33-year-old lobsterman from Plymouth.
``It was a clear day and when it was coming up, the water was crystal clear and you could see it from 20 feet down,'' said Holmes.
``As far as unusual lobsters, I had never seen anything like this before. It's the strangest thing I had ever seen.''
Tlutsy now plans to work on his theory that the proteins in the lobster's shell are not absorbing the pigments that give most lobsters their color.
