We have a furry four-legged house guest for a few weeks: Molly, the Pembroke Corgi pup.

While my in-laws go on vacation for three weeks, we are minding their dog.  It will be very interesting to see how our Corgi, Chelsea, handles this — given that she’s already being a bit displaced by the new-found mobility of our son (nine-month-old Nicholas has recently started crawling).

It’s noe 10:15pm, and the dogs went to bed about an hour ago.  By the sounds of it, Molly is not keen on sharing accommodations with Chelsea…  Oh dear, the laundry (where the dogs sleep) is directly across the hallway from Nicholas’ bedroom…

I don’t plan on getting much sleep tonight!  :)

I’ve just been having a bit of a play with this.  Wow, it does a lot, and it looks to be really great — but it’s not a blogger, so Crossed Wires will probably be safe on Polarblog for a while yet.

It really looks to be an impressive piece of programming.  It’s produced by a company called (surprisingly) Metadot Corporation, on the apparently quite successful model of “give a Free version to the community, but offer a pay-for version and support contracts”.

It does extensive content management, calendaring, polls, email forms, you name it; and it’s all managed through a browser.

Hopefully I’ll get a chance to do some more extensive testing over the coming weeks.
