Hi, and welcome to Geek Cave Creations. Please feel free to wander about the place, and experience the many things I've collected here.

Can it be that the year is slipping so quickly through my fingers like so much sand? This morning, I was awakened early for some reason, and couldn't get back to sleep, so I went outside and gazed up at the night sky. Much to my surprise, there was the Pleaidies Cluster, high up, and to the east, and the constellation of Orion was just coming up over the eastern horizon!

Needless to say, I was shocked! For those of you not familiar with astronomy, the constellation of Orion is what's called a "Winter" constellation, because that's when it appears, as it tracks it's slow, majestic way across the night sky. Seeing Orion, even at four in the morning, and even just peeking over the hills to the east, is a sure sign that shorter days and colder weather are not long in arriving, as well. Wasn't it only just beginning to get warm here, not too many days back? Where has the time gone? My summer suddenly seems squandered. This is a sad revelation.

I've had to take my pChat script offline, to correct some growing performance issues. Not only that, I've decided to re-design pChat "from the ground up", mostly to address the performance issues, but also to turn the project into a cohesive whole, rather than the patchwork of "fixes" and "work-arounds" that it has become over the years. For those of you who would visit pChat just to talk to my chatbot, Morti, never fear. He's still up and running during the interim, in the same location. But he's the only thing there, at the moment. I hope to get pChat 2.0 up and running in a few weeks, but since I'm forcing myself to learn the in's and out's of a new framework to bring these changes and improvements about, it's going to take some time. Besides, as Dad always used to tell me, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." Can't argue with that, now can we?

As always, if you feel the need to "get hold" of me, please do so. My handy-dandy Contact Page is the best way to do so. And, that said, I wish you all a great day!
