What’s that in your garden?

Date June 3, 2008

Give me a little time to get some pictures off the camera and I’ll go over how our little garden is doing! Stuff’s already coming up!

To the point

Date May 12, 2008

It’s rather cute when my little girl gets up when I’m still home, she’ll yell “Daddy, Daddy - I’m up, I want out”. So I’ll go get her and bring her into my room so she can lay next to her mommy. This morning, she woke up and I went and got her, she wanted a kiss before I left and after that I was getting my vest on, and giving her funny looks.

She said “Daddy, I want to goto sleep please” meaning, “I’m done with you, get out you’re keeping me awake”. You gotta love her though, she’s a cutey!

Started another book - The Talisman

Date May 5, 2008

This is one of my all time favorite books. So I thought I’d give it another whirl, it’s been since 1991 (the last time I read it).

So I started reading John Adams

Date April 23, 2008

I’m only a bit into it, but something struck me this morning. He is quoted as saying (during a trial in 1770 I think, for the the commander of a group of English soldiers) , that “any man in a free country deserves a fair trial” [paraphrased]. It got me thinking about how it works today, which isn’t how it work.

Now Reading - not pretty

Date April 11, 2008

Alright, I can get the library back, but it’s not pretty. Not pretty URLs I mean. It’ll work, but not with well formed urls like the rest of the site. It livable, but not perfect.

Wordpress 2.5 - almost perfect

Date April 10, 2008

Well I did it, I upgraded to 2.5 and everything went smooth…

Except, for the “Now Reading” plugin. Which really blows, I love that plugin and the Library that it has, but it seems all the permalinks are broken.

I’ll keep updating as they come, and I really hope I can get it work!

Barcodes and nerd humor

Date March 31, 2008

So there we are playing with a bluetooth barcode scanner. Some asks what type of barcodes it’s reads, and someone says 3 of 6, someone else says 2 of 5…(do you know where this is going?)…

I pipe up and say “I bet it likes 7 of 9, I sure do” (7 of 9 was a hotty on star trek voyager) .

The barcode scanner actually reads interleaved 2 of 5 (plus some others).

if they hear this song…

Date March 31, 2008

I was cruising through Digg today and came across this nugget of greatness. I guess Clear Channel decided that it would be better if some songs weren’t played due to 9/11 (I don’t know if it’s still enforced) but here’s a list of what was suggested not to play on any of their stations.

166 Songs

I’m twittering, or tweeding, or tweaking

Date March 28, 2008

Yeah, someone - and I won’t mention names cough cough **Joey** suggested I join up on twitter.com. I wasn’t sure I wanted to before, but for some reason I just went ahead and signed up. Got a me a nice little plugin that shows them here on the sidebar, and so when we go on our trip to Saint George next week, maybe I’ll update during it.
