Bad Behavior has blocked 278 access attempts in the last 7 days.

I found a link to this application a while ago, but never took the time to check it out. Fortunately, it stuck in the back of my mind that there was a handy application, although even handier that I had saved my bookmarks from an old computer, because I couldn't remember the name, and I... (More)

VMWare 1.0.5 Server patch for 2.6.25 kernel

I had the privilege of installing VMWare 1.0.5 on a brand new 2.6.25 kernel. I downloaded the 2.6.XX patch for vmware 1.0.4 , applied the one change from asm to linux in vcpuset.h. That had worked for me before when using 1.0.5 on a 2.6.24 kernel, but today I downloaded a 2.6.25... (More)

4 Year Well Check

Due to needing to have the well-child visits a year apart and to my previous and current hesitation to use the phone, especially with our doctors' office having this weird new scheduling system, we didn't get to Jonathan's four year checkup until last week. He is 44lb and 42." This... (More)

Baby Ticker, Midwife Center

My friend Bonnie has this neat baby ticker on her blog, so I thought I'd look up mine. Since I'm still getting used to the baby being as old as he is, it was surprising to me to see how big he looks. I couldn't get the application to imbed in the post, so it's on our sidebar at... (More)

Feedjit Statistics

Copying the rest of you cool bloggers, I installed feedjit a while back. I originally thought it wasn't going to be very useful, since I assumed that all of the international hits were the many search engines that like crawl the blog all day long, or worse, spammers trying to post... (More)

Trial Date?

I had meant to post that the trial was going to be on March 17th, but I just found out that it has been postponed until September 22. So, more waiting. Crazy. (More)

Where Does The Time Go? (the numbers are even correct this time...)

Shortly after I posted the first analysis of my time , I realized that my hours per day calculation were kind of off, since I was counting 7 day weeks, and I basically never work on Sundays. As I am redoing the calculations, I see that I must have been doing something strange to try get... (More)

Remote Access

I finally decided to buy a wireless card for my laptop that uses the cell phone network, as opposed to plain wi-fi. This will allow me to have more/better access when I am not in range of a wifi access point (say, hypothetically, if one were to travel to Middleburg, Virginia to a house... (More)

Noah Will Be A Big Brother!

Last week (actually within the span of three days) four people asked me if I am pregnant. Really, you ask? Yes, really, they did. One of them was Jonathan, whom you have read has been praying fervently for a little sister, and has not yet learned that you don't ask women that... (More)

Where Does The Time Go?

Some people have asked where my time is spent, now that I am working from home. I don't keep track of non-computer time, but I do keep track of when I am on my laptop, partially to see where I am spending my time, and partially for billing reasons. I found this handy software called... (More)

Christmas/Vacation/Home Again

Can I condense three weeks of activities into one post? We'll see how it turns out. One thing we discovered at Christmastime is that Noah loves cocktail sauce. He just dipped his finger in and licked it off, licked the bowl clean and wanted more! We had Christmas at... (More)

VPNC / Resolvconf / Set search string

I found what I would call a bug in resolvconf today, though probably most people don't run a VPN server like I wanted to, so no one ever noticed before. The internal DNS server at one of my clients somehow loses its connection to folks connected via the VPN. That is an unsolved... (More)

Random Stuff

Just when I thought I was a geek, the bar is raised... I forgot to post this a while ago: Tim Hawkins and the "homeschool family". Prairie Home Sausage is kind of funny - and has a picture of a really neat merry-go-round. Lastly, being... (More)

More Spam Counting

Someone on the postgrey list (Matthew, who apparently likes drinking coffee, as that is part of his email address) sent a script that he uses to report on his mail/spam. I modified it to work on my systems (and included it below), and here is the output for the last five days:... (More)

Fun with Spam

I have been getting a bunch of spam through my contact form over the last couple of days, so I thought I would check out what they are trying to do. The domain's contact information is protected by privacyprotect.org, so we can't know who they are, though I filled out a form showing... (More)
