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...I had been having trouble with my usual installer,... (More)

Puzzles and Rhythm
Rhythm is such a funny word I had to look it up to double check the spelling. Anyway, Jonathan has shown advancement in doing puzzles, having patience to turn the piece more than in the past. Today, he successfully put the triangle and square pieces in his shape sorter, where before he only... (More)

Thumbsucking
Jonathan was a thumbsucker since before he was born. We did nothing to discourage it, except that I would often offer to nurse. Somewhere around 12 or 13 months, I mentioned to Jon that he wasn't sucking his thumb any more. After that, I did notice him doing it in his sleep sometimes. Now, he... (More)

15 Month Checkup
The stats: 34 lb 10 oz; 33 inches tall Dr.Anderson was finally happy that the weight started to plateau. I had not decreased nursing at all (on purpose, though it did slightly naturally - except for no nursing 30 minutes before dinner.) But I had tried to make sure he got lots of exercise.... (More)

Christmas Adventures
Christmas Eve morning, Jonathan threw up. It turned out to be a stomach bug, so the performance repeated itself several times. We took a bath and napped in a chair. (He seemd to throw up more if he was lying down, so I held him upright and tried to sleep myself.) We tried to nurse, but it just... (More)

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... (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...

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. As soon as I walked in, I... (More)

Speakeasy
Speakeasy is my DSL provider. Snurgle.org also uses them, so that is how I heard about them. We have been using them for a year or so, and the ten times or so that I had to open a customer support ticket, it has gone quite well, and fairly fast response time (within a couple of days at the...

Citibank
I signed up with Citibank/Mastercard my freshman year in college. I used to sign up for stuff on campus quite often, as they would give me various free things, t-shirts, radios, $100 gift certificates, etc. I also felt somewhat sorry for the vendors, as their income was $1 every time they got...
