Tonight I was researching photo album software and one of the products I was looking at was 4images Gallery.
While I was searching for sites that used 4images, I stumbled on John Howe’s website. What a lucky find. John Howe is a
Tolkien artist whose paintings are on the covers of the Hobbit and the Lord of [...]

It is December 15. Plaza El Terronal’s target date was today. I think if it is open before Christmas, it will be a miracle.

I have been lucky enough to become acquainted with an organization (Club Soroptimista International de David) that challenges itself to do good for the less fortunate in the Chiriqui area. This weekend they have the first of two Christmas events scheduled.

My free trial of AVG with Firewall has ended. I liked the product. It is very PC friendly and has very low overhead. I still want to try a couple more products, but I am not going to do that until next year.
In the meantime, I have backed off to Free AVG and the [...]

I just took a look at Chiriqui Chatter under Microsoft Internet Explorer and realized that I had a couple photos that I had put on the site that were too large for IE to handle. When that happens, IE displays the site incorrectly and the photos are too large.
On one of the better browsers, everything [...]

It appears that the problem with my Canon A85 camera is that it has developed a dead pixel. Repair requires the camera to be sent to Canon. Any ideas of how you do that, when you live in Panama? I guess I will talk to Audio Foto and see if they can do that. Of [...]

I am currently looking out my window at a beautiful day. The air is clean and the sun is out. It is probably in the high 70’s. I have an orchid out on the balcony that is just stating to bloom.
