Where have I been? hmm.. lessee... Well, while I was still commuting 2.5 hours (one way) to and from Berkeley to work, my motivation to pop online and talk about computers and speech after I got home was, well, non-existant. Now that I am "settled in" at work a little closer to home (five minutes by car, and fifteen by bus: ya can't complain too much about _that_.), and so forth, time and inclination have returned. I also keep rather busy working for American People/Link, one of the national online communication services. (You know: like CI$, only smaller, lesss active and cheaper. ) On there, I have recently opened an area for the discussion of disability and related issues-- in the vein, I can only hope, of Blink Link. (Not that I could ever hope to provide as entertaining a discussion area as willie has for us, but I can try to carry the same spirit of good humor, frankness and sheer perversity to my small but growing group of participants. ) I also run an online game there several nights a week, so I keep rather busy. (If any of you have People/link accounts, drop on and say 'hi' to me one of these days. Matter o' fact, for any of you with PLink accounts who would like a Braille user manual, be sure to let me know, as I will start production on those in the very near future.) We have also moved (just across town) since I was last here'bouts, and that took a good bit of time and attention. We now have enough room to swing a cat, though we do not have the feline to prove this. This is a wonderful change, as we were starting to find ourselves buried in cables, electrical cords and other computer gadgetry. And so it goes... --Carla -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!89!Carla.Campbell Internet: Carla.Campbell@f89.n129.z1.fidonet.org Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
