Incessant hot weather, smoke from forest fires and weeks of blue skies give me the blues. I could really use a big storm right now - with black clouds and lots of rain.
This week’s ennui can probably be traced to being sick for four days. I might also be cycling somewhat moodwise, but I am one blue bunny right now.
One of the nice thing about working for oneself, however, is the ability to take a day off. I take Fridays off. All this means is that I don’t answer the phone and rarely answer emails. I get a chance to clean off my desk, spend a couple of hours at the bookstore, clean house and start the laundry. Sounds boring, but it is surprisingly refreshing.

Rico 2.0’s Live Grid is perfect for a project I have coming up - learning how to implement it has been interesting.
Since there is no documentation, I’ve been taking the examples provided with the download and playing with them - so far I’ve been able to implement examples 3 and 8 with success - although I would like to add the filter feature of ex3 to the editing features of ex8 and am running into some barriers.
One nice thing about not having documentation (yup - there is a nice thing) - I’ve got a crash course in how Rico works and am learning it at a level I would never have learned it if I just had a 1 2 3 type of tutorial.
Of course, I also have the time for it right now - if I were in a crunch I’d be pulling my hair out at the roots.
