Bad Behavior has blocked 450 access attempts in the last 7 days.

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)

Baby Ticker, Midwife Center

My friend Bonnie has this neat baby ticker on her blog, so I thought I'd look up mine. Since I'm still getting used to the baby being as old as he is, it was surprising to me to see how big he looks. I couldn't get the application to imbed in the post, so it's on our sidebar at... (More)

Debian Installed Relatively Painlessly on my Sony Laptop

I am sure this will excite many of our normal readers, but I have finally (after four years) switched my laptop to Linux. Now that I am using it everyday, it is much nicer to be in this environment, instead of having putty windows all over the place. Perhaps if I had a better... (More)

"Oh, why are we not more holy!"

"Oh, why are we not more holy!", he would exclaim with loving insistence. "Why do we not live in eternity, walk with God all the day long? Why are we not all-devoted to God, breathing the whole spirit of missionaries? "Alas, we are too much enthusiasts,... (More)

Note to Self

When a customer says that he has a smaller project than the one I just did, don't pay attention, and think about the quote, rather than simply estimating the time as less than the previous project. Yesterday, I did a project for a friend (one who let me have better access than average... (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)

Parcel ID parser

I don't know if it is only relevant to Allegheny County or if it is more universal, but a friend asked me to write a parcel id (parcel/block/lot) parser to help him out in his real estate searches. It was kind of a fun project (3 hours) and it was neat to see how well it worked out in... (More)

Phun Computer Programming for Jonathan

I found a nifty application (watch the youtube video for an idea of how it works) for playing around, and Jonathan and spent at least a couple hours today playing with it. It simulates gravity, friction, inertia and things like that. Jonathan enjoyed it and asked about it when we... (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)

Catch-up

2/9 - Jonathan: "What does special mean?" I say something about someone/thing that someone cares for. "How much do you care for me?" Well, I don't think I can really measure that. "Well, you may care for me abundantly. " 2/12 - Noah is putting the dipthongs into his "hi" and... (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)

Remote Access

I finally decided to buy a wireless card for my laptop that uses the cell phone network, as opposed to plain wi-fi. This will allow me to have more/better access when I am not in range of a wifi access point (say, hypothetically, if one were to travel to Middleburg, Virginia to a house... (More)

Noah Will Be A Big Brother!

Last week (actually within the span of three days) four people asked me if I am pregnant. Really, you ask? Yes, really, they did. One of them was Jonathan, whom you have read has been praying fervently for a little sister, and has not yet learned that you don't ask women that... (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)
