Bad Behavior has blocked 260 access attempts in the last 7 days.

I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break. And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (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)

Noah Likes Blenheim

Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle. You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently. He also says... (More)

Happy April Fool's Day

It seems to be the idea this year to release the April Fool's day jokes early, perhaps to give them more credibility, or maybe simply to join with the Australians. I hadn't heard of the spaghetti tree joke before, but that is a pretty good one. I showed Jonathan and Noah the... (More)

After a slightly hectic day yesterday, when I noticed some strange behavior on one of my servers, we released a new version of LifeType . While I am not impressed that the bug existed in the first place, I think it is pretty neat that a development fixed was released within 4 hours of... (More)

Noah Update

Last week, Noah opened the childproofed cabinets in the kitchen. It was no fluke - he closed it after the first time, and then deliberately repeated his action. So we have disabled those and instructed him not to open those cabinets (he is obeying so far.) These are the... (More)

House Search

As some of you know, we have been looking for a house for the last couple of months, and we think we have found one! I asked a couple guys from church to come look at it today, and give their thoughts, and they generally approved. Someday, I'll probably make the kitchen nicer (ie.... (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)

Taxes

Whew... For some reason, taxes took longer than they have in other years. Part of the time was spent trying to get out of a federal tax penalty for not calculating the estimated taxes correctly. We spent 14.63 hours (courtesy of worklog ), mostly together working on them. I... (More)

Subtraction, Reading, Memorization

Last night Jonathan was helping me set the table for dinner. He said we should get five plates, but I said no, Noah has his tray so he doesn't need a plate. But he could get five bowls for the chili, and five spoons. Then I said, "Make two of them big spoons."... (More)
