Local goings on

Well the local development environment on my machine is now working as expected. Virtual hosting is set up in much the same way that it is working on the production server. The basic web server set up is there, so now work on the applications can begin. Also now that the virtual sorting is set up, webapps that would run on a team's source control repo server can now run on my workstation. The same apps that a team would use for managing workflow, development planning, source code control, bug tracking etc are now potentially available in the local development environment. This will be a blast.

In other news, the gardens around the house are slowly coming into their own. The golden finches are back, as well as the robins and cardinals. Occasionally a bluejay visits and the crows are ever-present. Soon spring will be over and summer will begin.

The two younger boys and I've been to the pool on every day that the weather and our schedules allow. Karl improved his swimming this year. He's getting stronger and faster. Pretty soon he'll be more a young man than a big boy. Tommy is still all boy, but a few more years will change that.

Misce's been working on her quilts as always and she turned out several lately. They're all well made as always, she's very fastidious about her work. The all look good, and some are even spectacular. Over the years she's made quite a few and at times I really don't know where we will put all of them. As far as quandaries go, that is not a bad one to have.
