script for printing directories

Dad wanted a PC program that listed only directories under a given directory, so I wrote one. This one contains a nice bugfix that doesn't crash if the directory name is too long! It installs into your right click menu when looking at folders, and puts up Word with a text listing of the contained folders and their sizes.

Download the package here if you're interested.

Brewery upgrades

I finally got around to getting shelves for the brewery where I can store things and let them drip dry! You can see some pictures (before and after) on picasa. It's still a basement, after all, but at least it is cleaner and more functional.

Life's been busy lately, especially with Debbie's work trips and occasional colds. I brewed a lager beer for the first time in a couple years Saturday, blustery day bock. It was brewed the "hard" way with a decoction mash and 2 hour boil, I've got my fingers crossed. It should be ready to drink by February!
