2007 Doctor Who Children in Need special

by Ceffyl Aedui on January 2nd, 2009 at 12:00
Posted In: Geekitude

If you haven’t seen this, it’s a classic sketch with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, just before she took on the role of Donna in Season 4. I found this video of the sketch on YouTube. Initially, Donna was a really annoying character. As the season progressed, she grew into a character who could match […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

According to the BBC, the new Doctor will be announced tomorrow. Who ever it is, will have to fill a huge role made popular by David Tennant’s portrayal. David Tennant’s Doctor has become one of my favourites, second only to Tom Baker. Here’s hoping the new one is as talented. Tweet

Kasane’s Feet

by Ceffyl Aedui on January 7th, 2009 at 18:23
Posted In: Horses

The vet saw Kasane today at lunch. The good news is that the way we were treating her foot let her actually heal more. She may have had some thrush, but that appears to be mostly gone. The vet ended up cutting away a good part of Kasane’s frog on her front left foot. We […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: General

At about 9:00 this morning, I woke up and saw water pouring down next to the bedroom window. I thought it was caused by a strange rain storm, so I went back to bed. I woke up this morning to the sound of a police officer pounding on my door. I scrambled up, grabbed my […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: Horses

Sunday morning was the weekly riding lesson. My last riding lesson was last Sunday and it went well. Unfortunately, my back hurt so much the morning after I had to stay home from work. Last night, I went to the company holiday party. Three hours of walking around in heels plus moving boxes out of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I woke up this morning to a phone call from the vet notifying me that Stella’s evening appointment was canceled due to inclement weather. I looked outside and smiled. I am so glad that I am setup to work from home! Tweet

Posted In: General

I’m watching the inauguration ceremony and my absolute favorite classical musicians are playing in an ensemble: Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Gabriela Montero, and Anthony McGills playing a composition by John Williams. Wow. These are incredible musicians, probably some of the best in the world. And John Williams? LOVE his stuff. I love the bits from […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Day in the life of a Geek

by Ceffyl Aedui on January 20th, 2009 at 18:25
Posted In: Geekitude, Tech

I am working from home today using a virtual private network (VPN) connection. I can then connect to my desktop Windows work machine using remote access. All of these connections are done through browsers so it’s pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, the VPN system we use is primarily setup for Windows and not Macs. Once I had […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
