Saturday FireflyMom came by and we were going to do some work on the steps and other various niggly bits around the house. After determining it was really cold outside and we’d be much better served to do things inside, we left the steps (and the outdoor cutting it would require) and moved to dealing […]

Looks like the car just needed a new battery. My massive thanks again to ?ryk for running me to the hardware store and then home with my bike in the back of his little hatchback. A bit of monkeying around to throw the battery in and she’s back. Lets not even think about the possibility

Oh, what a great morning this is turning out to be. I woke up late this morning (big surprise) and had to rush (big surprise) after being up late (big surprise) because something computer related wasn’t working (big surprise). Manage to get into the car in time to get to work on time and it

Wow, I feel great! The puppies went back yesterday afternoon, after that we vegged on the couch watching the sunday line up of cartoons (simpsons, family guy, etc) and I fell asleep about halfway through. Somewhere around the beginning of American Dad Firefly poked me and said “bedtime”. A bit of cleanup and in bed

Well, she did it that crafty girl, showed up home this evening with 8 rottweiler doberman puppies, a grow heat lamp, and bottles of forumla. Extremely cute of course. After dinner we bottle fed them, which was interesting to say the least. Some were thrilled, some less thrilled, and some couldn’t care less and just
I finally found a nice and simple way to slow down the thousands of SSH probes I get every day without changing the port number (though that’s only because I’m too lazy to remember to set the port number to connect to). This article on Using iptables to rate-limit incoming connections pretty much gives a

This week has been a long one….. I feel like my souls been sucked out, and pretty anti-social in general. The flood of bills, the fact that the latest contract work has once again dragged on… and on…. The latest slowdown hasn’t been on my end though, the client needs to get their server set
