Ben and Darcie visited. Kara is plenty pregnant. Katie made turkey for Jim/Penny & Ben/Darcie and the rest of us. Katie gave Kara a shower. Leftover turkey redux with the Sauls/Rinaldis/Peters/rest of us. Went up to Moon Mountain and got a tree. Put the bunk-bed together. Michael the beta fish was killed by Halfdot the…
Katie and I need to switch from ATT to Cingular. They allow you to break the contract and switch. The plan is slightly better than what we have, but we would get roll-over minutes. We just have to pick phones. My phone doesnt even work right anymore. I cant press the numbers 1, 2 or…
ESPN, just released this list of sports moments. It seems that Michael Jordon is every fifth entry. Anyway, they missed a bunch of great moments. Like when Jimmy Connors unbelievably beat Aaron Krickstein. It was the most unbelievable match I have ever seen. I was almost crying at the end. And I don’t even like…
I purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket through DirecTV. Was this a good idea or a bad idea? I don’t know. But, I do know that I enjoyed watching the Jets on Sunday, BARELY beat the Browns. They are terrible, but they are way better than the local teams. Look in the ESPN Power Rankings. Oakland…
Daniel and Lindy visited us this weekend. We had a nice time. Ethan, Jared, Danny and I rode bikes around Baywood for a while. We saw The Incredibles. I think it’s the best Pixar movie to date. They have their headquarters in Emeryville. We saw the movie just a mile away from their headquarters. I…
Uncle Daniel and “soon to be” Aunt Lindy are visiting us from New York today. Ethan and Jared are excited. They also asked specifically about seeing Bapu. I told them, in 2 months we will see them. On the technical side, I have been working on a DOM “super” table. It automatically has mouseover and…
My head cold moved from my head to my throat. *cough* DirecTV came over so that is fixed. I asked them to give me NY local stations. They are working on it. That way, I could watch the Jets without NFL Sunday Ticket. Hmm, I wonder if Comcast could do that. They told me they…
I did pretty good based on my goals: (See list below) 1. Check 2. Check 3. No yet, gotta do that tonight. 4. No materials to work with. I blame Katie. 5. No, I forgot that one. Hopefully, I won’t electrocute myself. 6. Check 7. Katie wants me to try bringing the thing to Penny’s…
I love ComputerWorld Magazine, even though I don’t get it anymore. I was mentioned in the magazine 9 times. Check it out. Oh, the glory days, when everyone I knew thought the internet was a fad or useless or both.
I finished People’s History, and started The Document Object Model. Already, I see that everything I have done with JavaScript so far has been sub-optimal. I need to get started making better methods. For those curious, DOM is a way of looking at and manipulating an XML document or HTML document in a tree structure.…
I finally got the Vonage package and hooked it up last night. It was surprisingly easy to do. Its a router, but I put it behind my Sonicwall firewall and it worked perfectly. I’m shocked actually. The sound is fine. Might be a slight humming noise, but otherwise, its perfectly acceptable. Danny said there was…
So I ordered this Vonage thing to get phone service through the internet. UPS was supposed to ship it. I tracked the shipment online and they said they left it on the porch. But there was no shipment on the porch. So either the UPS driver is a liar or someone stole it within the…
Ok, first the rant. Comcast is not making my life easy. Neither is DirecTV. Comcast is providing my internet access. They were going to provide phone service too but they wanted to drill holes in the house. What is the point of pre-wiring the house if they want to drill a bunch of holes. All…
Now that the election is over, I have this strange feeling. Usually, I enjoy the political discussion and want to listen to the news. Over the last few days, listening to the news is the LAST thing I want to do. Can the world be made a better place? Can the good guys win? Are…
