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 Rajiyyah! The grey wonder mare is under saddle…
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 have never purchased a house on my own before. This has been an adventure that has consumed the majority of my time for the past two months. I’ve been trying to get my work done, freelancing projects finished, and everything else that goes along with it… and now the various electricians I’ve asked for…
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 people online. She is a talented writer and…
If you have been following the latest news releases, you have probably heard about some ISPs (like AT&T and
Isis is back in training and so is Rajiyyah. After a hiatus of several months for both of them, their various feet and or muscle problems have cleared up. Rajiyyah is in training at Forest Hills Farm. I’m working with Isis. It feels good to be back riding. It’s been almost a year since the…
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 CPA is really good. I know this mistake…
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:
Poor kitty spent the weekend at the vet’s. He perked up a little when I came to pick him up. He had been huddling in the back of his “apartment” at the vet’s. He had a towel to sleep on and plenty of space. He was shaking. The vet helped me give him the evening…
For the past few weeks, my white kitty, Ambush, has been having some difficulties. He has been sleeping more often, drinking two to three times the regular amount of water, and has been using the litter box frequently. He also started throwing up several times per week. Not hairball hacking like normal, but food. He…
Ever notice that the word “blasphemous” really could be an onomotopeiaic word for a sneeze? 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. Having account information on a server not within…
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 couldn’t. ORFCU recently changed its name and domain…
At my day job, we are currently redesigning the corporate Web site. I am responsible for doing most of the coding for the site. During lunch, I have been reading articles on CSS, XHTML, site design, structure, management, etc. Today, Slashdot had a link to an article at Site Reference called “The Surprising Truth About…
