Debian Server

My new server arrived last week, and it came preconfigured with Gentoo, so it booted up, and I checked it out, but I really want a Debian system, so tonight is my second attempt at getting it to install. The first attempt failed miserably, but... (More)

Formal Business Letter

There was a problem in opening a bank account for Lime Daley, I think they typed in my social security number wrong. This is the letter that they sent back to me explaining why my account had been closed. (More)

Appreciating Fine Art

I have not been too interested in paintings or going to art museums (except I did always like to see the Tiffany glass work.) I will admit that I had my doubts about whether Jonathan would like the Van Gogh bits, simply because I had no appreciation for them myself. (More)

A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of the City of Pittsburgh

Jonathan loves to watch the garbage truck come down the street and pick up the trash. This morning, we spent 25 minutes standing at the window, watching the world, waiting for the truck, watching the truck, and learning new things. (More)

Reality TV

I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject.
There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has moved to England and is now doing a reality TV show about revitalizing an aging Anglican parish. (More)

Gorgeous Day

Almost all of the windows in the house are wide open, a fresh breeze is pouring in, and the sun is shining! Invigorating!

Version Manager Setup

Whether you know the program as Merant, Serena or PVCS, the setup is difficult, and despite the sales department insistence that you don't need a full-time person to run their servers, I am starting to doubt it. Here are the instructions to setup a new project using the file server model with split archives. (More)

Mis-communication Companies

Our DSL went down and Jon called me and did a three way with Speakeasy to see what was going on. After trying a couple of things that did not work, Jon mentioned that it was raining, but not lightning. I went to the window to check things out, and I saw a Verizon guy up at the telephone pole. (More)

Internet Connection

People at work have finally gotten sick of the lack of support from our IT department. Their FTP site was not operable the other day, and a sales guy needed to get some files for a meeting, so R&D purchased its own FTP site so we would be able to manage it, rather than depend on IT to get it working again. We just purchased it for a month, so then we could evaluate it after the month is over. The month has now run out, and so R&D decided to instead pay for my internet connection, and then I can run the server for them. Pretty nifty.

Dermatologist and Philosophical Rambling

I went to a dermatologist this morning to have a mole removed and a small skin lump checked out. My referring doctor said this dermatology practice is the best in Pittsburgh. However, I really am getting more and more disillusioned with medical practice as we know it. (More)
