Kites, Crayons, Snow, Counting, 2 Year Doctor Visit
Since reading The Cat in the Hat, Jonathan has expressed interest in flying kites. The other day, he said, "Jonathan fly kites, too - three!" On Friday, Mom, Jonathan and I went shopping in the Strip District to get things like cheese, mustard, curry paste and spices. Penzey's Spices has... (More)

Tricycle
This morning, in beautiful sunny 60 degree weather, Jonathan successfully rode his tricycle all by himself. Since he has finally been able to reach the pedals, I have helped him by getting him started down the slight grade in the driveway. Today for the first time, he managed to start himself... (More)

ThinkGeek toys
ThinkGeek has lots of fun things for those ... uhh... those people like me. I just saw an advertisement for lightsabers , and I immediately thought of Brian, (Heather's cousin) though it says "Although the blade is very durable, it should never be used for fighting or dueling." One thing... (More)

Pregnancy Update
I just realized I haven't posted about the new baby in a while. We have decided to go to the same midwife that we had for Jonathan's birth. She is very excited and our first appointment will be in the middle of December. I am now 9 weeks along which means that the baby is 7 weeks old. He (I... (More)

Merant OpenMake
Since we paid for the professional license, we get OpenMake for "free", so I figured I would try it out. The conclusion is that it isn't worth anything.The longer version is that it, like all Merant products, is quite hard to actually get up and running. When the manual says, "you aren't... (More)

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)
