Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:01 PM

Good morning! I've had a late start this Friday. Michelle took the boys with her to the Y where she'll teach her HiLo class. 9:33am

Geeky: Just learned about (related link) and surprised I'd not heard of it before. Wonder if IT has heard of it? 9:55am

Parody: White House announces Cash For Clunkers 2: Children will receive $4500 for bringing elderly parents to end of life counseling. 10:13am

Back from lunch w/my spiritual director. Stopped by the new "Cassidy's Grill" on the way home to try one of their frozen coffee drinks. 2:49pm

Good a few more anniversary cards in the mail. Really like my folks' card. Wish I had a scanner. 2:51pm

About to schedule yet another visit to San Diego to stay the week at the corporate HQ campus. There are worse places to have to go... ;-P 3:03pm

Backing up my most recent photo albums to Flash and Amazon S3/JungleDisk (~245MB) I should also get some Shutterfly prints from these soon. 3:39pm

Product plug: WinSCP is one product keeping me sane since the new job. Files I need on my desktop are often on linux servers far away... 4:07pm

Remember in May '08 when 5.5% unemployment was referred to as "a depression". Now at 9.4% we're in "a recovery". Mmm.. 'kay. 4:12pm

Watched a few video podcasts and the new episode of Wizards of Waverly Place (there, I said it!). My girls & Shauna are playing fashion show in the basement (and giggling up a storm!). I'm not quite sleepy so I think I'm going to fix a bug on our site. 9:53pm

Fixed the web rendering bug. For the 0.1% who would understand this: I hate the whole ISO-8859-1 vs. UTF-8 thing. 10:14pm

"A father is someone who carries pictures in his wallet where his money used to be..." ~ Unknown 10:25pm

Since it was dirt simple to install, I played around with "SnowNews" on the Mac. (related link) Geeky! Time for bed though. Good thing it's Friday and don't need to go to work tomorrow. Good night all! 11:00pm
