It has been annoying me that the "tagcloud" on the side panel has the largest word "water", (it sizes the words based on the count the frequency of word usage in our most recent posts), but here I go again, adding to the count. We had a bunch of water in our basement again, this time... (More)

Nothing Guaranteed but Death and Taxes

And we just discovered that there is yet another Pittsburgh tax we didn't know about, and maybe even a couple different taxes we may or may not owe. I called Pittsburgh to cancel our estimated tax forms that they have continued to mail to us, even though we now live outside of Pittsburgh. ... (More)

Helper Shell Scripts for Worklog

As I wrote earlier , I use worklog to keep track of my time. I use some other scripts to help manage worklog's output, and now that I made one of the scripts work even nicer today, I figured I should post them. I use get-time to see where I spent time on a particular day. It... (More)

Windows Defender Error: 0x8024402c

I am working on a Vista machine for a client, and was trying to update things - the firewall was turned off, windows update hadn't been run in a while, etc. Windows Defender was complaining about not updating for the last 8 months, and currently giving me an error of 0x8024402c. I searched... (More)

Trendfo.com

I have been working on an interesting project for a customer of mine - and as is with lots of his projects, end up seeing lots of internet headlines while working on the projects. This particular project involves tracking what things people are talking about and searching for. One source... (More)

Math Word Problems

Solve: Problem 1: If you have 100 gallons of water entering a 10 gallon sink with a partially clogged drain at 4 gallons per minute, how long will it take for the water to spill over the top and how many cardboard boxes get wet? Extra credit: how many gallons of water will be left on... (More)

A Practical and Fun Memorial

Grammy and Papa bought a playground for their backyard, "In memory of Isaac and in honor of all [their] grandchildren." Two weekends ago, we went to New Hampshire to help them assemble it. It was a fun and busy weekend. The playground is big and immensely fun. Even though we were not... (More)

Life With Three

...is going great, but has its challenges. I'm probably not the only one to brush someone's teeth with one hand while bouncing a crying baby with the other. But bedtime is pretty much the only time of high demand from all at once. Jonathan is great about waiting and about helping Faith... (More)

Carroll Street is Officially For Rent

We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

Water and Power

Our family had been emailing around about the wind and rain from a recent storm, the power outages, and water in our basement, and a couple questions came up, and I thought I would post them here, that perhaps other people are interested in the goings on at our new house. 40% (18,000)... (More)

It's a Girl!

Our first daughter was born this evening at 6:35, weighing in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 and 3/4 inches long. She doesn't currently have a name that we know of yet, but those of you who have been around at the boys' births probably won't be too surprised at that. So, I guess for now,... (More)

40 Weeks

Had a midwife appointment today. All stats are good, baby seems to be about 8 1/2 lbs (tall and skinny, the midwife thinks.) (S)he is a bit turned posterior at the moment, but I am not too concerned because it's not very much, and as long as Mommy gets to be in whatever position she feels... (More)

Waiting, Quotes

I have to say that the real baby is much more squashed in me than that little graphic baby is on the sidebar. (S)he pokes up knees and heels all the time and increasingly presses on my bladder. I am ready to go, but still have plenty of things I can do while waiting. When Mom and Janet... (More)

Appointments, Painting, Settling In

Having prenatal appointments every week is not giving me much leeway for blogging. I just had another appointment today and realized that I have not blogged about last week's. First, Noah had his 2 year appointment last Wednesday. 35.5 lb, 37" He didn't like the poking and... (More)
