It's summer and I have a lot of time off. For the last week or so, I've
been getting up quite early to re-stain the deck and fences. They're
done, which is good, because it's really starting to warm up. Prior to
this week, it was cool and a bit rainy. I like that.

Otherwise, I've been learning a bit of python and some more bash and
batch scripting. I know a bit of Javascript too, and there's a great
deal of similarity among them all. I should probably challenge myself by
turning to something really different in the future, but I'm not sure
what. I guess that will depend on what I want to do and in what context
(Windows for work, Linux at home).

An update on batch script GUIs: last year, I posted about easy-to-use
dialog boxes for batch files and mentioned the Wizard's Apprentice
(http://wizapp.sourceforge.net/). It's still the best thing that I've
used. However, I recently found a version of Zenity compiled as a
portable .exe for windows. You can find it at:

There's also a version at Github, which appears to be newer:
