This is the traditional Christmas breakfast in the Daley family. It is too good to only have once a year, and I often make it for potluck brunches. No one knows where the "Presnor" part comes from. The original recipe from Jon's mom has plain monterey jack cheese, but the pepper jack gives... (More)

Nothing Guaranteed but Death and Taxes

And we just discovered that there is yet another Pittsburgh tax we didn't know about, and maybe even a couple different taxes we may or may not owe. I called Pittsburgh to cancel our estimated tax forms that they have continued to mail to us, even though we now live outside of Pittsburgh. ... (More)

Helper Shell Scripts for Worklog

As I wrote earlier , I use worklog to keep track of my time. I use some other scripts to help manage worklog's output, and now that I made one of the scripts work even nicer today, I figured I should post them. I use get-time to see where I spent time on a particular day. It... (More)

Trendfo.com

I have been working on an interesting project for a customer of mine - and as is with lots of his projects, end up seeing lots of internet headlines while working on the projects. This particular project involves tracking what things people are talking about and searching for. One source... (More)

Life With Three

...is going great, but has its challenges. I'm probably not the only one to brush someone's teeth with one hand while bouncing a crying baby with the other. But bedtime is pretty much the only time of high demand from all at once. Jonathan is great about waiting and about helping Faith... (More)

Carroll Street is Officially For Rent

We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

It's a Girl!

Our first daughter was born this evening at 6:35, weighing in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 and 3/4 inches long. She doesn't currently have a name that we know of yet, but those of you who have been around at the boys' births probably won't be too surprised at that. So, I guess for now,... (More)

Little Plumber

Noah loves to help Daddy with the plumbing in the new house. In fact, he had a hard time making the decision about whether he should stay home and plumb with Daddy or come to the zoo with the rest of us. (After Jonathan exclaimed about the baby elephants, Noah eventually decided to come to... (More)

Appointments, Painting, Settling In

Having prenatal appointments every week is not giving me much leeway for blogging. I just had another appointment today and realized that I have not blogged about last week's. First, Noah had his 2 year appointment last Wednesday. 35.5 lb, 37" He didn't like the poking and... (More)

Water testing

This started out as a reply to an email to Heather's parents, but I figured maybe other people are interested in the thought process about water quality. After lots of hours looking at water things today, I think we will definitely get a " MetalMaster " which gets rid of... (More)

On the Road Again...

I guess it can't much be counted as "again", since we have only moved once since we have been married, but the song popped into my head as I started to write the title of this post. Since some of you probably don't read every comment on our blog, you might have missed the announcement... (More)

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)

Fourth Time's the Charm?

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)

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)
