Today I hit the big 3-1. Yikes. Not quite time to get myself a red sports car and go budgie jumping just yet though. Yesterday I celebrated my pre-birthday-day by helping Firefly and FireflyMom doing plumbing so we could have water in the house again. Around 11pm or so we finally turned the water main […]

So somehow the valley got transfered to India in the monsoon season. It’s been raining non-stop (again) for the last few days…. heck, forecastfox just shows a solid wave going across the 3 day extended forecast! Advantage of taking the train to work is no need to drive in this weather, disadvantage is having to

So while I thought today could be a rest-and-relaxation day, the FireflyFam arrived at 11 (got to sleep in at least!) armed with lots of supplies. Scary. Looks like today we’re re-doing the plumbing! Of course, you can’t just put in one or two pipes, but you have to do everything at once. Luckily not

In a fit of bordom and tiredness we watched Herbie Fully Loaded, the latest incarnation in the Herbie series of films. Other than a minor diversion trying to see when they had digitally de-enhanced Lindsay Lohan’s boobs. Other than that the movie was about as plain and cliche as you can get. There really wasn’t

Why doesn’t software use the “Startup” group properly anymore? When I booted up this evening I had about 10 programs loading up in my system tray, but only 3 in the “Startup” program group (and only 2 of those are programs that would be visible in the system tray!). In the registry I have 18

Anyone out there know how to export/import photoshop keywords from Bridge? I’m moving things over to a new computer and would rather not have to re-enter my keywords in. Update: Found it here. Copy C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\adobe\bridge\Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml to where ever you need to.

I have to say that the amount of stuff that’s been getting done around here (in my absence) is absolutely amazing. Below are some pics of what’s been going on here the last while. Of course, since these were taken, a hedge has been put up along the right and the arrangement of the bricks

This page claims to be Flickr’s best Photographers. I’m not sure how you can judge exactly “the best”, but it’s a damn good slideshow of some really great pictures.

Welp, Halloween came and went with nary a growl. Sounded like most of the kidlings showed up before I got home last night, and there were only 3 or 4 that showed up after I got back. None of them looked like they were as cute (or appropriate) as Sillz’s son, shown there dressed in
