Ergonomics
At my last job, I discovered that after I gradually developed some pain in my shoulders that my desk needed to be raised. When I got to DynaVox, I raised my chair and desk approximately 4 inches. My monitor is raised an additional 4 inches, based on the advice of some ergonomic web site that... (More)

Robins
In my research on robins, I found this spectacular site called A Robin's Diary with videos and day-by-day updates. I picked a great time to take photos of our nest today - the parents had just come back from worm hunting when I got inside. I haven't put the pictures on the computer yet, but... (More)

Email Random Signature Generation
I wrote a random signature generator for Pine, my email client. It worked great for a number of years, but with a recent upgrade of Pine, it started having trouble a couple of times a day, where the signature would be correctly rotated, but Pine would hang prior to sending the message, and would...

Gardening
It is so cool to watch things grow. Last Wednesday, May 12, I got all our pots together with new dirt and planted hot peppers, radishes, lettuce and spinach. We also have three cherry tomato plants generously donated by a friend. The radishes and lettuce were already coming up by the time we... (More)

Zoo and Other Adventures
On April 27, we went to the Zoo with Alissa, Will, Nate, and Sam. I sang to Jonathan the "We're going to the zoo" song and he repeated, "zoo, zoo, zoo!" He also repeated "cheetah" but he growled at the bears on his own. The elephants were much larger in real life than he expected and he didn't... (More)

Yet Another Delay
When I said a year ago that maybe Jonathan would be in college by the time this was all done, I was joking, but apparently, it might come true.I got a note from Vicki today saying that the defense filed for pre-trial motions, and the judge agreed. So, the pre -trial meeting will happen on... (More)

Oiling the Coding Gears
Jon has me working on some stuff for Lime Daley so he has time for his other projects. For the most part, changing settings has a user-friendly interface that I can do pretty easily. However, there are some code things "in the background." Today, I modified some of the code and it worked! I... (More)

Unenforceable Laws
While looking up information on the Pennsylvania Use Tax (which is another story for another day) I found a regulation that states that tourists in PA who stay longer than 7 days are required to pay Use Tax on items that they brought into the commonwealth and used while they were here. How... (More)

Light Beer
We went late to a party the other week and also stayed late to help clean up. It turns out that this year the guests were not beer drinkers, so the host had lots left over. He was not unhappy about that, but he did have a few bottles of light beer that he lamented still having. I offered to... (More)

Debian Server
My new server arrived last week, and it came preconfigured with Gentoo, so it booted up, and I checked it out, but I really want a Debian system, so tonight is my second attempt at getting it to install. The first attempt failed miserably, but...I had been having trouble with my usual installer,... (More)

Kids Just Grow Up So Fast
I called my friend Alissa today and her four and a half year old son William answered. I said hi and asked for his mom and he said, "Well, she's downstairs right now, but you can talk to me and tell me what you want to say and I can tell her." It was not that long ago that he would only say,... (More)

Italian, Oatmeal, and Dolls
Jonathan has an Italian board book that Aunt Janet brought him from Italy, which I stumble through as best I can. After I read a book, he will usually turn through the pages again himself. This time, he babbled in a more singsong voice, unlike his usual talking. I really think he was trying out... (More)

One Year Older, One Waist Size Bigger
Heather and I went shopping for jeans yesterday; Heather to try to find jeans that don't have the new low-cut waist line, and me to replace some worn out pairs that have spontaneously ripped when doing various projects around the house. I have always had trouble finding jeans that fit,... (More)

Reality TV
I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject. There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has... (More)
