Spent the morning doing laundry, then ran out to do some errands with Liz. Bought a green shirt to participate in the “wear green and red to the funeral” plan. It’s not my favorite green, but it will do. Rushed back home, let Liz sleep for half an hour, then packed like […]

I have been meaning to post some pictures for awhile, and have finally gotten around to it.

Pixel loves Frigits
Pixel really loves Frigits
Pixel has RedHat certification (a much older photo that I found tonight)
We finally got wedding photos framed and hung in the upstairs hallway. (last Saturday, before my birthday party)

It’s time for an update, since I haven’t posted in a few days. Let’s see…Had a nice little early birthday party thing on Saturday night. There were twelve of us once everyone arrived — Jim, gieves, Mandy, Don, Liz’s friend Talitha (or however she spells it), AG.com’s Julie (sort of like “TV’s Julie”, […]

Reasons to be happier than usual:

I had actual useful stuff to do today at work! And I might even have enough to keep me busy tomorrow too!
It got above freezing yesterday AND today, and tomorrow should be even warmer!
Today was SUNNY!!
My car is clean and beautiful again!
Had a wine tasting dinner last night at […]

No, I have to complain about my recent experience with […]

Blah.
I am up against a wall at work — I can’t get any further until one of our other programmers gets done with his stuff and gets a version safely to QA. Due to some annoying constraints, I can’t actually test what I’m working on until it gets to our “build” environment, at which […]

Today I…
…worked out (yay, it’s good to not be sick anymore!);…passed the time between 9 and 5 (when will I get something real to do at work?);…drove home on crazy slick roads, praising the heavens for ABS and traction control;…bumped Liz’s Powerbook back up to 10.2.3 after this weekend’s downgrade to 10.2.1, which somehow seems […]
