Server update succeeded but has side effects

Posted on May 28, 2007 by Steve

I figured the update wouldn’t bother anybody this morning and early afternoon (CDT) because everyone will be enjoying Memorial Day. Just bear with some minor revisions, one being an annoying “upgrade” to 10.4.9 Server and what it does to the … Continue reading →

The joys of little victories in home ownership

Posted on May 27, 2007 by Steve

The check didn’t clear and probably won’t until after Memorial Day but Wells Fargo’s web site stated it arrived and it counted. We now own sixteen percent of the house! Only four more percentage points (about five grand) remain before … Continue reading →

When we were leaving his office (home of our weekly D&D game now), I forgot to wish him a happy birthday last night, but better on time than never right? Last year we joined him for dinner at Fuddrucker’s and … Continue reading →

Can’t believe I totally overlooked her birthday last year! It’s right there in my Now Up2Date calendar with an icon of Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina Spellman! Well, I probably forgot then because I was busy helping Somara install our … Continue reading →

What’s with the colors and anything else?

Posted on May 1, 2007 by Steve

It goes with this month’s phrase, the 30th anniversary of Star Wars hitting the theaters. There’s no third color sadly. More about this later in the month. Trust me, it’ll be positive because back then, the first movie really did have … Continue reading →

Rad sent everyone the news yesterday but the pictures arrived this morning. Kylie was born on April 17 (so she’ll always remember to pay her taxes around her birthday) and she’s doing great. I think it’s too early to see … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2007 by Steve

Sorry I’ve been out because I was sick. Seems I have developed the beginnings of carpal tunnel problems with my left arm. It really began to crop up to painful and troublesome levels after Christmas. The first major warnings were … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Brian

Posted on March 12, 2007 by Steve

On a happier note. Today is my brother’s birthday! If you wish to know his age, you’ll have to ask him, all I will admit to is being older than him. He is also more fortunate in sharing his birthday … Continue reading →

Happy Marquette Day?

Posted on March 3, 2007 by Steve

I’m sure my fellow Marquette friends received something in their e-mail or mailboxes plugging today being National Marquette Day or the 30th anniversary of it. At first I was puzzled since it was the first I ever heard of it. … Continue reading →
