Patrick and Heather have a real Blogger blog up at their wedding page now. Cool. (I sent back my RSVP card a few days ago, by the way.)
Spiraling
I heard a bunch of stuff from Spiraling today on RSU, on the way home from work. Very nice!

Growing, Selecting And Using Basil
I’ve got a couple of basil plants in my apartment that I’ve somehow avoiding killing for quite some time now. I just harvested a nice little bunch of leaves today.
Geek Stuff
Spent a bit too much time today trying to figure out how I could create a DLL containing user-defined functions callable from Crystal Reports 8. The obvious route was to use Visual Basic. Well, I don’t normally use VB, I use PowerBuilder. However, creating a DLL in PowerBuilder resulted only in a new and exciting way to crash Crystal every time I tried to open a report. So I went hunting for VB. I have no problem buying a copy. However, I couldn’t verify that VB.NET could create the kind of DLL I needed. I knew VB 4, 5, and 6 would work, but no one reputable seems to have VB 6 for sale anymore. Eventually, I found a dusty copy of VB 5 in a box on top of a bookshelf, underneath a bunch of other stuff. And it worked! Yay!

Windows XP SP 1
Windows XP Service Pack 1 is now available. I just installed it. It took awhile, but no hassles. Doesn’t include anything really new, except the silly little “Program Access and Defaults” program that the government made them do.
