It has been that time of year again

Surviving another year ends with a birthday. I had a nice day and, received several nice cards. This is one I am really happy with, it is from a community that is still small enough to care about things like birthdays.


Thank you Valerie :)
Thanks,

Happy Birthday, Girard!

And thank you for all you do everyday, to help others learn about SignWriting, and the fact that sign languages are becoming written languages...We will have an announcement in the next few days about a new software development for SignWriting that will lay the foundation for future software, so for us it is an important milestone. It is called the SignWriting Image Server, which has been in Release Candidate 1 for what seems to us to be a long time, but soon it will be officially released as version 1.0. The SignWriting Image Server, by Steve Slevinski, will be the basis for our new SignPuddle 2.0 software, and also for the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin, which will make Wikipedia articles written in American Sign Language possible...Thank you, Gerard, for believing in our work with such optimism...I truly appreciate knowing that you are there to guide us through the many steps it will take to make the Wikipedia in American Sign Language possible...So Happy Birthday! And many many more - The cat in the birthday card says you are just one years old, so this is only the beginning! Ha! Your friend,

Val ;-)
