A little over fifteen years ago, when we moved to Colorado, we looked for a place where either one of us could have qualified for the mortgage. When the loan officer asked if we wanted a fifteen year mortgage instead of a thirty, we said sure. We didn’t really expect to be here for sixteen years, since it was our second company sponsored move in two years. How time flies.

Desktop Wallpaper

I love using my photos and graphics as backgrounds for my computer desktop, but hate having icons cluttering up the image. So using ImageMagick and a little scripting, I created some Desktop Wallpaper with my graphics to the right of the screen so I have space for one line of icons. I’ve uploaded twenty-six, both fractals and photos, for others to use. The gallery of wallpaper was generated using Curator, a command line program that I downloaded from the Ubuntu repositories.

Sheila is visiting again. One of her nicest traits is that when she rolls over on her back, she actually wants her chest rubbed, and is not trying to sucker you into getting your hand lacerated.
