It's high time I blogged, don't you think? After all, I'm supposed to be posting every day. There are a couple of other things I need to get done. The first is to declare the winner of my advice contest.
I received a lot of interesting and helpful tips from many people. Though the one that made the biggest impact on my life, and is therefore the winner, is by lisa. She provided a link to a simple instruction page written by her brother that explains how to set up an online webcam that does everything I want it to (as my experiments have demonstrated).
Since her prize is a copy of the book, that brings me to the other super-urgent item on my to-do list. I've got to get that puppy put together and submitted! It's way overdue at this point, and I'm making it a major priority in my life. Hopefully the next few days will bring a major update to the book saga. Thank you all for being so patient. (Or maybe everyone has just given up hope.) Lisa needs her prize, and, as soon as it's in print, I will e-mail her for her mailing address and send it on to her.
A couple of other items on my blogging to-do list that are not urgent, but which I intend to one day do are firstly to put up a sorely-needed "about me" section to this blog, including my e-mail address (tvindy[AT]oddpost.com). The "about me" details were requested by Snozzle, but, since she is no longer blogging, there is no longer any real urgency. Secondly, Jenny long ago requested that I write about the year I spent in Cameroon, and I still need to do that. Can anyone think of any other loose ends that I need to take care of?
In other news, I was the only reader to discover the secret Easter egg on Will's site. This is the second prize I've won from him in less than a year. (Remember the shirt?) And the prizes just keep getting bigger! This time I've won a guest-entry by Will himself, so be on the lookout for that in the coming days.
