Uh-Oh
When I hear Jonathan say "uh-oh" I need to pay attention. Usually it just means he dropped something on the floor on purpose. But sometimes it's something I need to attend to. Yesterday Jonathan was playing on the counter by the sink and he said "uh-oh" but I did not see anything amiss.... (More)

Web Washer
I just realized that I haven't ever mentioned my Windows HTTP proxy server that I use. Web Washer is very useful. It turns out that yesterday was the two year anniversary of my using it on this computer. In that time, it has filtered: 227,646 images, 30,746 popups, 53,413 scripts, and... (More)

Signing!
Yesterday, Jonathan signed "more" very clearly and correctly. I rewarded him by fulfilling his request - more dried cranberries from my granola. Then in the evening while we were waiting for a bus, he signed "toilet" - not as perfectly, but obviously enough. Unfortunately, there was no place to... (More)

LimeDaley.com
I finally figured out a name for my web-hosting and embedded software company. I had decided on FIRM Solutions in December, but then someone beat me to buying the domain name.It must have been so much easier to figure out company name things before the internet. I spent quite a while searching... (More)

Frozen Pipes
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)

Flabbergasted Cable Guy
A Comcast guy came to the door yesterday.Cable Guy: "4565 Carroll - you don't have cable." Me: "Nope. We don't watch TV." CG: "You don't?" Me: "No." CG: "Do you have a TV?" Me: "Yes, but we only use it to watch movies." CG: "Oh. So you don't watch any TV at all?" Me: "Only the five... (More)

Spam: In Perspective
A friend of ours was complaining about spam, and Heather agreed, and said she had been getting tons of spam lately. I questioned her on that, since I am in charge of the filters that filter our spam, and I think they do a pretty good job: maybe 15-20 spams got through in the last two years.... (More)

Signing, finally!
I had just told my friend yesterday that I was getting discouraged about signing because Jonathan was not doing any except for an isolated sign here and there. Then today, he distinctly signed for "milk" several times! The first time, he was cranky and I asked him what he needed. I said, "do... (More)

Version Control Comparison
I have been evaluating different version control programs for my company for the last month or two. My current evaluation is that all of them are broken, although I hope to discover a good solution someday soon. Serena's Version Manager (PVCS) I have spent a lot of time with Version... (More)

Politics
When I came into work today there was a copy of the Financial Times , a newspaper I used to read in college but haven't seen in a long time. There was a front page story on John Kerry speaking in Massachusetts yesterday. I found a couple quotes humorous: " Saddam Hussein was a brutal... (More)

I Love Fall!
Ivan came through yesterday, pouring rain for 24 hours, and flooding many parts of Pittsburgh. But today - wow! It's sunny and cool and gorgeous. I went shopping in the morning (Fridays are shopping day, but it was pouring) and I just couldn't help a huge smile as I walked to Foodland. It was... (More)

First Word, for Real!!
Ok, so I wrote the previous post after this happened, but I had been meaning to write it before. Jonathan has always been fascinated with lights. Yesterday, I held him up to the light in our bedroom and gave him the cord and showed him how to pull it so the light would turn on and off. This... (More)

Mischievous, But Cute
Yesterday, while Jonathan was napping, I went downstairs to do some things. I didn't turn the monitor on, because I was only going to be gone "for a minute." Well, it ended up being a half hour, but I wasn't too concerned because his naps are usually at least 45 minutes, and I couldn't hear him... (More)

Jonathan is Big
Jonathan had a doctor's appointment today, and he weighed in at 23 pounds, 10 ounces. 27 inches long. Maybe that is why I sprained my neck yesterday tossing him in the air. (More)

VOIP
I thought I would be writing this post to say how great Lingo is, and how you should all sign up for their service. They answer their phone within a couple rings, no matter when I called, and sounded like they would be able to fix any technical problems I had. However, after spending hours on... (More)
