Onward to Albany—again!

Today seems to be a day in which I am playing catchup on a number of things.  To be frank, I do not like observing Halloween because of my religious sensitivities; I am Eastern Orthodox, and is a holiday that was encouraged by Oliver Cromwell to disrespect saints in the Roman Catholic Church (and by extension, Eastern Orthodox saints as well).

But the big deal is that I am off to Albany for the day, attending a comic con.  This is strictly business, as I need to confer with my friends in the region about the fan series.  Sadly, things have stalled a bit, as I am working on finishing off Batman 1969 and on upgrading both my computer and my employment.  Indeed, I am facing a possibility of termination by February 2010 because of corporate restructuring.  But I need to get out so that I can be in a place of my own, ideally in New York's Capital District.


As for the computer, the Vista operating system seems to be getting corrupted, and that is leading me to put in an interim version of Windows 7 on another drive.  This is only a temporary fix, as I plan on getting Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  This is only the beginning of the upgrades planned, as this computer will be used for editing film.  And believe me, I need the added horsepower.


For those attending the Con in Albany, I will see you tomorrow!!!
