Gah. It’s been a bad two years, pandemic aside. Here is a summary of what happened. I have wanted to write up blog posts to cover all of these things, but honestly it’s been too much. I’d start to write and just get overwhelmed by everything. It...
This is going to be short, because I just can’t write. Within one week, my sister lost two of her three children. My nephew died on Monday. My niece died on Wednesday. Mom and I flew out to be with my sister on Wednesday. Not going into...
Testing out a new theme. I wanted something different after using the Squibble theme for so many months. This particualr theme (dfire) uses a lot of pixel measurements in the CSS instead of using fluid design. I am going to see if I can work with it...
So my neck is much better today. I can at least drive and feel like I can look over my right shoulder so I can merge into traffic. These are all good things. Unfortunately, now my back hurts from the muscle strain from yesterday. (Or something.) I...
Shortly before I left work, my neck started hurting and my back felt stiff. I woke up at approximately 2:00 with a very stiff neck. I could not turn my head to the right without catching my breath. It felt rather like someone was poking a three...
I’m taking some time off this week to work on research and have some much-needed down time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to coordinate with my coauthor who is also on travel this week. However, I won’t be online much because of it. Related Images:
Okay, so I have lots of updates to post for the past two months. I don’t have a lot of time right now, but here are some highlights: Horseback riding lessons! I’m back in lessons and acutally jumping now. Isis’ first horse show! She was AWESOME! Riding...
For fine quotes that only the master of theatre could write: “There’s no room for faith, truth, nor honesty in this bosom of thine. It is all filled up with guts and midriff.” (Taken from: Henry IV, part I)
I went to a network meeting this past Tuesday and met a really neat lady. She is in town for some training at the local national park. After a few months, she will return to Alaska. We have a lot in common–interests in history, MUDding, and meeting...
If you have been following the latest news releases, you have probably heard about some ISPs (like AT&T and
Yesterday the IRS sent me a note stating that my 2004 taxes were incorrect and that I owe a pretty chunck of change. Great way to lose some sleep. Today, I brought my 2004 taxes to work, called my CPA, and faxed them the IRS paperwork. My...
Apple released a program called “Boot Camp” today in beta. The program allows Intel-based Macs to have a dual boot OS X and Win XP system. (see http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/) My next computer is going to be a Mac =) Related Images:
Yesterday, I tried Microsoft’s product, Money 2006. It uploaded part of my financial records (potentially including over a year’s worth of transactions, account numbers, and account passwords) to the MSN servers. I told the software to remove the information from the servers and then uninstalled the application....
I downloaded a trial of Microsoft Money to see if it would work with my bank. Sure enough, my bank is listed in the supported institutions (Quicken, the other financial software I have, is not). Of course, when MS Money tried to connect to my bank, it...
If you don’t know who Doctor Who is, you’re in for a sordid history of one of the longest-running TV shows. The first running, the BBC series ran for over 25 years with seven men (plus one spinoff movie with the 8th doctor) sharing the role the...
The results from the biopsy came back and showed that Isis’ problems were caused by an allergic reaction. What she reacted to, we don’t know yet. I’d be willing to guess that it was something tied in with the rain rot she had (which is now gone)....
