Monday is Vacuum Day
Jonathan has been asking to vacuum the house all week, but I told him we had to wait until Monday. Today he was so excited when I was vacuuming that he was bouncing and grinning and saying, "vacuum" over and over again. He also got a new set of reading words today and "vacuum" was one. He loved...

How'd We Get To Fifteen So Fast??
This morning, I found Jonathan's lower left canine poking through. That's five teeth in a span of only a couple of days! He hasn't been acting unusual - the only thing I can think of is being more cuddly recently. (More)

Christmas Adventures Part 2
The night we arrived (Monday) was "Christmas Eve" so we each opened our one present from "Mr. Ho" and filled the stockings for the morning. It turns out that Santa had also visted Bermuda, because we each received a souvenir ornament from Bermuda. "Christmas" morning was leisurely, as Mom had to... (More)

Jonathan Update
I guess I don't really have time to write these as they happen, so you get a week's worth of stuff at once: December 14 - In women's Bible study babysitting, Jonathan pointed to the door and said, "door." When Miss Rachel did not respond to that, he went to her, grabbed her hand, took her to... (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)

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)

Birthday Fun
Today Jonathan put on a show for me. He had a plastic lei and was dancing around with it, putting it on and off, and generally making a silly time of it. He put his toothbrush in the dryer, which I did not discover until I took the diapers out. No wonder they were making that strange clunking... (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)

Puzzles
A couple guys here at work have been working on some puzzles. They didn't like my solution to the 3rd puzzle, as they wanted it to be more math base and not like programming. Here are the puzzles: Assume: a and b are positive integers. ( I think this condition only matters for the third... (More)

16 Years and 186,000 Miles Later
Bernie says our car is dead. He can't figure out what is going on. He thought maybe the dealership might know something, but he didn't have a lot of hope. 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)

Google Labs
Not that I am particularly looking for a job at Google, but they have had some fun entry questions lately. The one I saw this morning in a magazine was: To send a fax, Dial the four digit access code Y where 60097 equals f(f(f(Y))). This machine has extension number Z where f(f(Z)) =... (More)

Jonathan's First Trip to the Zoo
This will be short because I really don't have time to type up the whole adventure (maybe Mom can pry it out of me before the next newsletter!) We went with Alissa, Will, and Nate. Jonathan's favorite parts were the fish and the llama. My favorite parts were the nursing gorilla and the sea... (More)

1 John 3:16-18
" By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk... (More)

Patio Man
The Graduate Christian Fellowship at Carnegie-Mellon University has a group that meets weekly for discussion of various articles. I rarely make it to the discussion, but this week's topic was David Brooks's articles on Patio Man and the "Sprawl People" . I was asked for a summary of... (More)

Pittsburgh Drivers
Pittsburgh vehicle drivers need to learn the law. A guy swerved into me on my bike today. I honked at him, but he continued into my path. I yelled at him, and he stopped and got out of his car and made like he was going to do something. He then decided better of it (I guess I must have been... (More)
