  • Backup Strategies

    OK, so I've figured for a while that "prayer backup 1.0" was probably not a good backup strategy. We don't do that for our DVR - it has failover drives - and we shouldn't be doing that for the laptop or the desktop. I had thrown an old drive into a usb enclosure, but really it wasn't big enough to do a meaningful backup, and it had to be plugged in at a certain time of the day on each machine or it didn't back up. Guess how often it was plugged in at the right time?

  • Doctor's Appointment

    We went and saw the doctor today, but before we saw the doctor we were scheduled for an ultrasound. First the ultrasound... we got to see Addie move her feet, and wiggle around and be generally babyish. They measured her and then estimated her weight...

  • Green, But Not With Envy!

    Well, we finally got a little bit further with Addies room, so I thought it warranted an update. First of all, we got both coats of primer on the wall, and it really did make quite a difference. The walls were actually white again, and so any color we...

  • The Art of Construction

    No updates for a while... so I'll put one up before work today. We've got a bit of Addie's room done. There's a base coat of primer up on all the walls, although we have another coat of primer to go before we can put on a coat of color...

  • More Mouse Mishaps (Madness!)

    This is almost getting to the point that this is a mouse review site or something... seriously, I must have tainted hands, because my MS mouse died again! So I sided with the unholy maker again because of a very tempting $30 mail in rebate. I ordered...

  • Laptop Hunting

    I started a laptop fund with my birthday money, and with a small bonus that I got from work for completing a project. I'll add to it the money that I'll get for selling my existing laptop (the stand-alone built in DVD player still works, making...

  • Jealousy, I have known thee

    Everyone knows I love my Victorinox Swiss Champ. I've carried it by my side for about ten years now. In fact, it is so useful that I have two of them... just in case! But tonight, I saw the mother of them all. Jealousy, have I known thee, and thy...

  • Again with the laptop...

    My laptop has stuck out AGAIN! Second time in under a month that pushing the power button to turn it on has no effect at all. The power light indicates the thing is fully charged, and the built-in DVD player still works. But it straight out refuses to...

  • Things That Go Bump...

    Exciting stuff... just this week I got to feel Adelaide kick for the first time. We've found she's quite contrary, she will kick a few times to get Shannon's attention, but the moment that Shannon tells me that Adelaide is being active, she...

  • A Little Resurrection?

    Last night my Averatec 6235-EE laptop decided to give up the ghost. It didn't power on at all. The built-in DVD player feature was still working, but nothing else would. I removed and reseated both the memory, and the hard disk drive... to no avail...

  • Dale Dug a Hole...

    Well, the hole from the plumbing is finally filled in. I have three shiny new cleanouts just barely peeking their tops over the soil level. Once the rain settles the soil in a bit more I'll trim them to be just beneath the soil level... we had a Bobcat...

  • Dreaming of (a) Malibu

    So today while we were running errands out in Bixby (we went to Conrad Farms Market ) I stopped in at WestLake Ace Hardware to get another key cut for our new (old) '06 Malibu. Turns out that despite the small key size, and the car salesman's...

  • It's a girl!

    First of all, make sure you go to the Peanut Gallery, we posted the new ultrasound pictures that we got on Wednesday... but before you do, you probably want to finish reading this post! So... Wednesday... what an experience! What can you say about it...

  • A matter of introduction

    Almost everyone makes them... I'm talking about New Years Resolutions. Maybe you made one to lose weight, to lose a vice, just to enjoy life a bit more, or maybe even to make an important life decision. Shannon and I decided our NYR would be to have...

  • Kristi isn't well... :(

    Kristi was having chest pains Friday and went to the emergency room at Hillcrest in a hurry. They've ran all kinds of tests (cat scan, MRI, EKG, EEG, heart cath) and they can't seem to find what the problem is. We're all really worried about...
