Daley Ponderings

We woke up this morning (5ish) to no water in our upstairs bathroom. The downstairs sink was fine, which had been trouble before, so maybe I actually fixed that last year. The temperature was 9 degrees Fahrenheit, and typically, we have had trouble once it gets to the teens. We set up a... (More)

It had always annoyed me that you couldn't use smarty commands in the stylesheet files in plog. It turns out it wasn't that hard to figure out, and the original authors had it basically done, but if you believe the comments, didn't think it worked yet. It is helpful to change... (More)

For those of you who have successfully installed Mercury's Test Director , and have it die suddenly, you need to check the IIS/NTFS permissions.

When I returned our Lingo VOIP modem, I asked UPS to get a signature, since I figured Lingo would try to say they never received it or something. Below is a picture of the signature UPS got from "L Manwiller". And I thought my signature was bad... I wonder if signatures just don't mean... (More)

I have heard that a 1988 Dodge Caravan was/is a really good car, and should last a long time. I do see lots of them around Pittsburgh.... (More)

Since I just wasted a bit of time trying to figure out how I had configured Cygwin the first time, so as to help someone else set up their account, I figure I will post the instructions here:cygwin.bat: @echo off e: chdir e:/progra~1/cygwin/bin set path=%path;e:/progra~1/cygwin/usr/bin... (More)

Hi all. I figured I would put a post here, so it will show up in a search engine if anyone happens to remember that our ten year reunion is coming up soon. We are trying to contact people, and at least with my list of people (Cheryl Clough, Bill Earnshaw, Jimmy Card, Brandi Dubuque, and Sam... (More)

We went to the CORE ceremony today. The ceremony was for donors and recipients of organ donations from 2002. Isaac's heart valves were collected and frozen for future use. They have not yet been transplanted into anyone yet, but I guess they can be stored for a couple years and they will still... (More)

Copyright ©2003 Linda Wightman When they put the sugar back into baby food, I should have known it was a bad sign. Progress is often a tidal creek, not a river. Advancement is not inevitable. We gain in one era, or in one area, and lose in another.... (More)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.     Romans 15:13 Not much changed last night, although Isaac's heartbeat did return to a normal pace. The doctors have said that in... (More)
