I’m getting my new computer set up and I don’t have the original .exe install file for the FTP program that I used to use (AceFTP Pro) to update my websites. I’ve done some Googling and AceFTP Pro hasn’t been updated for several years, so I’m not sure how well it would work on Vista.

Yesterday was as lazy and relaxed as I’d hoped for. I went to church with Mum at the little baptist church down the road in the morning. Everyone was really friendly – the genuine sort of friendliness – without being pushy and signing me up for three committees and the choir before I’d sat down. [...]
