Eric The Red

Thanks for the thought, I like the quote.

Despite the nomenclature that you have worn since I can remember ... (see above) I've always thought of you more as Baldur.

Watch out for relatives playing games.

Thinking about it the same was true for Eric the Red. Political manouvering not his strength he got move on notices everywhere he went. Not that they were unwarranted evictions but he definitely got no help from the family ties and then Leif well he had little choice but to discover a new world he couldn't be his fathers son in the "civilized norse realm"

Ever wonder what the boys will need to deal with growing up as our children? They have their own issues too of course. I still am dealing with the autism spectrum thing ... yours and mine, opposite end of the country same diagnosis. Mother of course doesn't see what all the fuss is about. Does that mean we are all just Baileys or just Mowats?

Speaking of family http://www.baileyfamilytree.net/ I think ... My new project an online database for our family. I may have gotten stuck though at the security stage. What do you think? Only give access to a trusted few and hope no one messes the whole thing up or build it with logging and rollback built in so I can undo any individuals changes/additions to any given point? (yes the latter is WAY more work)

Let me know.

Where has it gone? So much of the time one only does the minimum of study to get the desired result and ignores the basics and the understanding required to create on your own. The fast way the quick way get it done and figure it out later.
There was a time when one honed one's craft, taking pride in the knowledge and the execution not just the end result. Now it is get it done NOW.
I too fall into this pattern, recreating the work of others because i do not know enough to be truly original. Truly myself.
