first day of real snow this year. i do love the snow. or rather, i love it for the first part of winter. my tolerance for it is higher than others' (read: my dad), but at least until my birthday, i'm usually happy when it snows. after that its just depressing.

i've been programming a lot lately. been doing a few things that are pretty cool, though time consuming, and wondering if i should post my stuff somewhere to maybe help someone else when they run into the obstacles that i've been running in to. written a few custom controls for things like text formatting. the standard windows .net rich edit control is seriously lacking in features. sucks ass.

also, i'm an uncle! pictures of my niece over here. she's adorable. gotta get more pics of her up. just have to remember to actually take the camera when we go to visit....heh.

its snowing and i'm driking coffee and its all very mellow and warm and nice.
