Today while everyone was clamoring to the completely packed Obama convention here in Omaha, Jess and I heard through the grapevine that Hillary had sent Chelsea to speak on her behalf down in Lincoln. We called UNL (where she was going to be) and got all of the information. We both took half the day off and ran down to Lincoln to see what was going on.
We arrived close to 2:00 PM (when she was scheduled to speak) and the place was packed:
That pic is just a corner, we were toward the center, and it got even more full as time went on. Anywho, at about 2:15 Chelsea made her appearence. She gave a little speech, then told us that she would answer any questions we had for the next hour or so. The questions ranged from Immigration Reform, to Education, to Environmental Problems. We even had an exchange student from China who asked what Hillary’s stance on Taiwan and Chinese relations were.
Chelsea managed to answer all of our questions (though she said that if we asked anything she didn’t know, that to just give her our e-mail address and she’d ask her mom and e-mail us the answer), although she ran out of time at the end leaving some people hanging (she did apologize and looked quite upset that she couldn’t get to everyone). After the questions she took time to meet with anyone who wanted to talk to her, get an autograph, or picture. Jess and I got a chance to meet her, I shook her hand and told her that as a New Yorker myself that I was proud of her mom and that she should be proud of her too (which she said she was). She asked if we were going to the caucus on Saturday and we told her we would be there and she told us thanks and took a picture with us:
I kind of wasn’t ready for the picture to be taken, so please ignore me looking so goofy. After that we took off back to Omaha (after a short stop at the Licorice Store). It was a nice time and I’m hoping there will be a decent turnout for Hillary on Saturday! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see! Until next time, folks!
Well, first, let me apologize for the delay on the newest AutoPatcher Release. Besides me coming down with a horrible cold, some other issues caused me to not be able to work on it over the weekend. On the bright side, I believe I have with me what will be the Gold release. It’s been tested and retested, and it looks like we may have a winner. Another good thing, because of the delay we were finally able to add in some of the new security features we’ve been wanting to. Now if the download is corrupt, or if someone tampers with the files, it will not allow the AutoPatcher to be run. It will now generate a warning message explaining what has happened. This should really help out a lot of you, and cut down on the worries that someone would infect the patcher with a virus. This will now prevent that!Well then, I’d best get back to work, we want this out soon, don’t we? One last quick note! We finished out last month with an amazing 62,285 unique visitors. Now, it’s not groundbreaking, by far. But it’s still amazing for me! Now let’s see if we can hit 100,000!!

Well, it’s taken awhile for me to update the site… I’ve been busy working with some clients over the weekends and been helping keep the dust down here at the office (a lot of remodeling is going on). Anywho, the Jan Update has been delayed slightly, but no more than a couple days… so don’t worry, it’ll be out very soon. For those that have donated, it will be out a day sooner (check to donation page for more info). As far as the AP 2000 goes, we’re still testing some things with it (2000 Server vs 2000 Pro… how can we set it up best), and it may be delayed till Feb… many apologies. Also, as you can see, the Login Box is now gone, that’s mainly because it wasn’t working right, and I decided to do things a little different… plus, gives me room for the new sponsors we’ve gotten. Please check them all out! One last thing in today’s update, I’ve found a new way to ship the CDs, and that service should be starting VERY soon now!!
