Bad Behavior has blocked 842 access attempts in the last 7 days.

I had delayed posting this since I think people were getting tired of hearing about each house that we put an offer on. But, now that this offer has been accepted, and I don't expect too much trouble with the inspections, I figure it is safe enough to post.I said to a friend the other day,... (More)

What Do People Search For?

I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break. And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (More)

And Anyone Can Install Debian Linux on a Desktop

It took some amount of work to get Linux up and running on my laptop , but I just got a new computer ($50 from Peter's workplace - let me or him know if you are interested, there might be some more left) and installed Linux in an hour two, including copying all the old data from the old... (More)

4 Year Well Check

Due to needing to have the well-child visits a year apart and to my previous and current hesitation to use the phone, especially with our doctors' office having this weird new scheduling system, we didn't get to Jonathan's four year checkup until last week. He is 44lb and 42." This... (More)

LifeType 1.2.7 released

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)

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)

Trial Date?

I had meant to post that the trial was going to be on March 17th, but I just found out that it has been postponed until September 22. So, more waiting. Crazy. (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)

Where Does The Time Go?

Some people have asked where my time is spent, now that I am working from home. I don't keep track of non-computer time, but I do keep track of when I am on my laptop, partially to see where I am spending my time, and partially for billing reasons. I found this handy software called... (More)
