If you didn’t know, seeing the wrong side of sunrise means you were up too late. That was this morning. I guess my body thinks it caught up on enough sleep? The hell it has. I think I finally managed to get my eyes to stay shut at around 5am, which was about the time the local roosters began their daily song and dance.

Oh well. As I type this we’re on the way to el pulgero, apparently for fruit. I got a second 4-gig memory card yesterday after filling up the one I came with; never thought I’d be able to do that is such a short period of time, but switching to RAW cut the number of shots I can take in half. It’s be nice if RAW images could be saved with the same level of data, but with less megapixels.

I can’t wait to get to editing these shots, though. Maybe I’ll get some more good ones in a few.

… And I’m back! Found the coolest thing: a Singer button holer from (I think) the 50’s. Only cost me $15!

Testing the WordPress app on my iPhone before I cross the border on the way to the Buffalo airport. If you can see this, then it worked!

I have to say: apart from a few hitches and bad defaults, going with Yahoo hosting was a good choice. I was already with them for two of my domain names, and for email, and having all the services in the same place is a good feeling. Also, new email accounts I add to sugarandcyanide.com get the ability to be checked through both a regular pop3 server as well as through the standard Yahoo mail interface. That’s nifty.

So I’m off — I’m leaving my laptop at home and I’ll be basically unplugged for at least a week (it all depends on the interweb connection at Mom’s place, which may or may not be intermittent). Happy holidays, you. See you when I get back.

Or when I find an open Wifi spot and feel like posting again from my iPhone.
