Honest! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>My apologies for the lack of updates. Real Life (TM), especially in the form of law school, got forcefully in the way of regular blogging. I didn&#8217;t anticipate how busy this semester would be. Thankfully, all is going real fine.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not forgetting about my &quot;Least Common of the Senses&quot; promisted posts. The first one is actually nearing completion and I have a firm outline of the second, so things are well organized, and I hope to post them Real Soon Now. Besides this, let me share with you some developments&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the <strong>operating systems <\/strong>front, I&#8217;ve stayed with Slackware-current during the whole 13.0 &#8211; 13.1 transition. Except for some irksome bumps, this was a smooth transition and as usual, Slackware provides a solid, stable, fast and updated Unix computing platform. I&#8217;m now using it with KDE 4.4.4 as my desktop environment, and I like it a lot.<\/li>\n<li>I just upgraded the <strong>WordPress setup<\/strong> of this blog to WP 3.0. So far, it looks really good.<\/li>\n<li>I was asked by a local university to lecture a group of accounting majors on technical English. Therefore, anything you might have on accounting vocabularies would be highly appreciated. Even more so because I consider the teaching of English as something as demanding as it is rewarding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On other side of things, today is Father&#8217;s Day. This is the second Father&#8217;s Day without the physical presence of Dad among us. I miss you, Dad&#8230; And, to all you dads who are reading this, happy Father&#8217;s Day! May God grant you happiness and blessings beyond counting! <\/p>\n<p>Well, this should do for now. Stay tuned for more; you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I&#8217;m still alive! Honest! \ud83d\ude09 My apologies for the lack of updates.
