SSH Login Attempts
I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Someday I'll Just Stay Home and Eat Bonbons
On Wednesday, we walked to the Shursave for a regular shopping trip. The only difference in this trip was the lack of milk in the bottom of the cart, since I had just gotten some at Trader Joe's. But it made a big difference for Jonathan! He pulled the cart the whole way home by himself,... (More)

Toll Booths
Jonathan enjoys blocking a doorway and demanding, "Three thousand dollars!" or some such amount. Sometimes he'll block every doorway from the laundry to the bedroom, charging an exorbitant amount of money every time. If there are any complaints, he always says, "Don't worry, it's just... (More)

Noah Says More, Jonathan Says Less
Jonathan wants me to write that he says, "blaller, blaller, hee haw haw." Noah, on the other hand has some more words and signs.  Well, one sign, cereal .  Words are "down" (dow), "beep" and "bird" which really sounds like (bee.)... (More)

Jonathan's Shopping Trip
Life cereal was on sale for $2, and we found a $1 off coupon inside one box.  So tonight, Jonathan bought a box of cereal with his own dollar bill.  We all walked to the store together. Jonathan found the cereal aisle by himself and saw where the cereal was, but had Daddy reach up to... (More)

More Words!
4/8 - We were reading a non-word book about getting a new baby in the house, and Noah would say "baby" perfectly as he pointed to the baby in each picture.  He now says it often, sometimes referring to himself, sometimes to my tummy, sometimes to a picture of another baby, sometimes randomly....

Noah Likes Blenheim
Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle.  You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently.  He also says... (More)

Subtraction, Reading, Memorization
Last night Jonathan was helping me set the table for dinner.  He said we should get five plates, but I said no, Noah has his tray so he doesn't need a plate.  But he could get five bowls for the chili, and five spoons.  Then I said, "Make two of them big spoons."... (More)

Random Stuff
Just when I thought I was a geek, the bar is raised... I forgot to post this a while ago: Tim Hawkins and the "homeschool family".  Prairie Home Sausage is kind of funny - and has a picture of a really neat merry-go-round.   Lastly, being... (More)

Noah's New Word
Noah has added a fourth word to his consistent spoken vocabulary: "Uh-oh!"  Sometimes it sounds like "uh-uh" and sometimes "oh-oh" but it's always in the right context. He also knows how to tell you to be quiet:  He puts his index finger to his... (More)

Walking Adventure: 3 vegetables: 2 guys: 2 miles: 1 bathroom stop
I felt like going for a walk today, so Jonathan and I headed out, and I let Jonathan decide where we would go at each turn .  We talked some about compass directions, and where the sun was, and sometimes he had an idea which way home was (and then would immediately turn so as to avoid... (More)

Do Not Call Lists
We have been getting more and more sales calls lately.  I try to take the time to report them to the do not call lists, both for our state and for the country.  We are supposed to get $100 for each violation (where the caller pays $1000).  But, I haven't ever gotten any money.... (More)

I'm Sorry, Your Product is Obsolete
This is what the HP technical support person said to me when I called about our printer.  Our faithful HP LaserJet 6L, which was manufactured 10.5 years ago, and given to us 6(7?) years ago.  It printed Mom's boarding pass just fine, and then one day later, all three indicator lights... (More)

Miscellany
Jonathan loves to create meals and side dishes.  On 10/2, he made a vegetable salad that we have recreated several times.  Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, onions, with one lemon's worth of juice as a dressing.  Simple and delicious. 10/12 - I was in the basement... (More)

Anti-spam tool for Web Forms
I got a couple spams through my Lime Daley contact form the last couple days, so I took another look at the script that I was using.  I wrote it a year or two ago, and was my first attempt at writing an anti-spam tool that was designed to have a 0% false negative rate (ie. humans can't... (More)
