Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! I'm back from dropping the kids off at middle school and morning Mass. It's a chilly morning and should only get to around 67°F today. A foretaste of autumn. 8:30am

Since all of my site content is locally built and sync'd online (for security reasons), I setup a JungleDisk/S3 backup task to archive the local web area in case my laptop dies. 10:36am

The propane delivery guy just topped off our tank. I took it as a good thing when he said we must use the least propane in his local delivery routes. It might have somethin' to do with the 3-4 tons of wood sitting in our garage every summer... ;-P. 12:50am

Michelle has head over to her followup appointment with her surgeon. Hopefully the lab results are in and confirm what the surgeon thinks (ie. benign). 2:24pm

Would I lie to you? (related link) 2:49pm

Had to drop Claire off at the orthodontist since Michelle is still with her surgeon. The boys are home now and of course asking, "where's mom?" "With the doctor" "AGAIN?!" They're just too young to get it. 3:34pm

Bookmarks I made today:
