Speaking at IVCF

I was recently asked to speak at IVCF at CMU on the topic of Christian view of success and vocation. I am supposed to talk for 15 minutes, which will probably go very fast, so I need to be more concise than I usually would be. Our topic for this Large Group is the Christian view of success...

Spammers

I hadn't checked my log file in a while for my Lime Daley contact page , but happened to check it today. There have been 438 spams sent in the last two months, and 2 legitimate emails. The spam filter (I wrote it - which is probably why it works - that my site isn't big enough for... (More)

Camping and Fishing

We went camping last weekend with some friends from Providence Church and the Venables. We went to a fairly new, no RV, family-run place near Moraine State Park called Breakneck Campground . We arrived early, since we didn't have to wait for Jon to be done with work (yay Lime... (More)

Debian Updates vs. Windows Updates

Everyone always says how user-friendly Windows is, and as I sit here waiting for my Windows computer to endlessly update itself, I am struck by how much harder it is to update my Windows laptop than all of my Linux (Debian) servers put together. On Debian: Type "aptitude",... (More)

"You must dial a 1 for this call to go through"

I have been having lots of fun (that's the bad kind of fun, not the good kind) configuring Asterisk for my new IT job. It has been a pretty big pain getting it to work correctly with a couple different VOIP providers as well as the landlines. I had a good day today, figuring both how... (More)

New Skills

At the Maggie P, Jonathan learned how to tie knots. Now he ties ropes all around the yard in a great booby-trap for potential robbers (or mail carriers.) He can also put a pillowcase on a pillow without assistance. And finally (to my slight sadness - isn't motherhood weird?)... (More)

Jon first noticed red spots on Jonathan's tongue and soft palate while brushing his teeth. Then we noticed bug bite/pimple-like spots on his knees and then Noah's knees. Then Noah got more and more spots all around the edges of is diaper area and some on arms and legs. ... (More)

Macintosh / Core Fun House

I started a new IT job recently, and the majority of the people there have Macs, so I have been bringing one home in order to learn more about them. They have come a long way in 20 years, when I used to play on a Macintosh SE (with three floppy drives, a nice bonus so you didn't have... (More)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (More)

All Is Safe In The World Again

I am in the middle of a non-direct red-eye flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. I was supposed to go to Charlotte, NC on the way, but USAir called(!) last night to tell me to come a half hour early to the airport (I was already there and had already checked in, and having a relaxing dinner... (More)

BCF Orchestra Concert Pictures

Our new church has a youth orchestra that Jon has become part of. They did a few concerts at local nursing homes last weekend and I got some pictures and videos. The main reason for this post is to explain the videos. Our camera isn't primarily a video camera, so it... (More)

The Report: Jonathan "Drives" A Backhoe

Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)
