Meanwhile I&#8217;ve been trying to solve the Mystery of the Missing Marley. I have a feeling that I&#8217;ve found the answer. It&#8217;s taken all day, but apparently it&#8217;s been living in the wharehouse of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldenharvest.org\/\">Golden Harvest Food Bank<\/a>. I need to get my hands on it pronto for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.terpsicorps.org\">Heather<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#8217;ve got the baby with me. Actually, Tam&#8217;s folks have her right now. They&#8217;ve just returned from Vegas. It&#8217;s a big night for Tam. The Board of the Gainesville Ballet is meeting in special session to discuss? Who knows?<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#8217;m getting ready to head down to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doe.k12.ga.us\/support\/sss\/ghp.asp\">GHP<\/a>. I&#8217;ll be sending out letters to my students soon. It looks like I&#8217;ll actually have some guys this summer! I&#8217;m not going to hold my breath. Hopefully, I&#8217;ll have a better idea soon.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What else? I&#8217;m fighting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/devnet\/mx\/flash\/actionscript.html\">ActionScript 2.0<\/a>. I want to do something that I think should be terribly easy, and yet I can&#8217;t make it work. If I can&#8217;t solve the problem soon, I&#8217;m going to have to do it the old, inefficient way. Susan&#8217;s going to kill me if I don&#8217;t. One interesting thing I have learned in connection with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scubadorag.com\/\">Susan&#8217;s site<\/a> is a little more VBScript. I used php before, but since the site is hosted on IIS, I&#8217;ve converted everything to .asp. I should mention that I recieved lots of help from Will and Tony. On the php front. I&#8217;m battling the upgrade to the latest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phpbb.com\">phpBB<\/a>. I&#8217;ve lost the ability to access my admin control panel. I&#8217;m not the only one, but none of the solutions listed in the forum seem to be of any help. At some point I&#8217;ll have to fix that as I want to have the GHP &#8217;05 forum up before I send out letters to the kids.<br \/>\n<em>I have fingers crossed, wood knocked, and prayers said for an exciting and most challenging potential <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetoycastle.com\/home.asp\">job<\/a>. I won&#8217;t know anything for another week, so I&#8217;ll have to keep everyone in suspense. You&#8217;ll hear it here first.<\/em><br \/>\nStay tuned&#8230;<br \/>\nP.S.
