GnuCash / Debian update
I guess I am asking for it, running the gnucash source (1.8.9), but running everything else from Debian testing. I upgraded like usual, somewhere around every week, and didn't think anything of it, because aptitude/Debian always takes care of everything for me. But yesterday, Heather... (More)

Sovereign Grace Men
As mentioned on the GirlTalk blog , there are a what I think is a disproportionate number of men in the Sovereign Grace churches that believe the best way to show affection to other men is to make fun of them, particularly in public. (I suppose I am continuing the stereotype published by the... (More)

Name Change
The name of the software that runs this blog used to be called pLog, but Amazon.com registered this name in the US. Even though the project is hardly a US run project, I think most developers are in Europe, and a bunch in China and Taiwan, we decided to change the name, rather than argue with... (More)

SMTP Authentication
Like so many other articles on this subject, I will start by saying that I looked at various documents, but none of them worked perfectly for me, so I will write up my own steps. Most of the regular readers of this blog will not care at all about SMTP authentication, TLS, SSL, port 25, 465, 587,... (More)

Spam Thoughts
Mark Minasi, a guy who writes a Windows newsletter about various IT tricks and other things related to using a Windows system. This month, the majority of his newsletter was about spam, and I think he missed a couple points, so I wrote to him, and it ended up pretty long, so I figured I might... (More)

Language and Appliance Skills
When Jonathan is talking about zippers or cords, he says, "Zip it down" instead of unzip and "Plug it out" instead of unplug. Makes sense! Yesterday, Jonathan juiced some pineapple slices all by himself - taking out the plunger, placing in a slice of pineapple, pushing it down with the plunger,... (More)

The Animals Speak a Foreign Language
Jonathan was playing with his farm puzzle, pulling out each piece, naming it, and making the sound that the animal makes. "Rooster, cocka-doo-doo" "Sheep baa" When he got to the pig, he only named it, so I asked him if he remembered what a pig says. If he did, he wasn't saying, so I told him.... (More)

Internet
Since it appears that Speakeasy is not going to be able to figure out how to reconnect our internet, at least for a while, I got internet working simultaneously on our desktop and our laptop this morning.The trick is that the laptop has the modem, and only has a wireless network connection to the...

Trapeze, Rhymes, Fun, and Self-Control
So much exciting stuff happened today that I want to get it written down now, even before we post about our vacation to Canada this weekend. Jonathan made up his own rhymes today and was obviously pleased with himself. "Toe-oh-bo" in the morning and "Hello, Moe! Hello, Joe!" into the phone in... (More)

Puzzle
A coworker has a book of puzzles, and a couple of us worked on this one the other day. I think it is a neat puzzle.You need to get a piece of paper, as I don't feel like drawing it for you. Make a math equation that says (using Romans numerals) II = XXIII / VII The puzzle is to move one "match... (More)

House in NH
Mom found this house while canoeing in the Merrimack River, and thinks it is just perfect for us. It does look great! There is a lot of land (13 acres) and a lovely place for the Black Rabbit to launch from. We have gotten used to Pittsburgh housing prices, so anything is a shock, but this... (More)

Sailboat Updates
There have been a number of things we wanted to work better on the Flying Junior, but mostly because it is hard to find a sailboat store in Pittsburgh, we hadn't gotten around to it.The wind spinner is fairly old, and after the capsize, didn't spin as well as it used to, and in the process of...

Songs, Shoes, Books, and Packages
On Tuesday, I just randomly started singing "All Around the Mulberry Bush" without really thinking about it. When I finished, Jonathan said in a singy voice, "monkey, weasel, monkey, weasel!" That evening when we were putting on shoes to go home from the Kuhns, Jonathan said, "right foot" and... (More)

More Words
While it is impossible to keep up with all of the new words Jonathan can say, there are interesting stories every once in a while (how "interesting" is measured is probably different among the different readers of this blog) and so I like to share them. Also, I realized that sometimes we say he... (More)
