Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 08:52 PM

Good morning! Welcome to Advent! Wonder if I have anything purple I could wear to Mass today... 5:49am

Back from Mass and breakfast. Doing some Brain Quest flash cards with the twins. They seem to enjoy them. I'm ordering a bunch more... (related link) 9:17am

Ordered an Eye-Fi for Abby's camera. Perhaps if pulling the pictures off is less of a hassle, maybe I'll be more inclined to post the occasional picture without waiting till I have a bundle to go through... (related link) 9:57am

It was wicked windy yesterday. Today I have Abby and the boys scavenging the hundreds of pine cones that fell. Some of 'em are huge. Might as well get them now before they're buried in snow. 11:52am

Watching "Snoopy, Come Home" with Michelle and my littles ones. A 1972 classic from my youth. 1:45pm

I'm a mean papa. I'm repossessing the Chumby (related link) I gave to Claire several months ago (after she begged for one) because it's been sitting in her room, powered off, collecting dust. 2:39pm

Refreshing my brain on hackin' the embedded Busybox distro linux on Chumbys. Wonder if anything new/interesting has been developed in the last nine months or so... Long time readers might recall I came this close to hosting our website on it. 3:53pm

Looking over the "Ruby in 20 Minutes" tutorial to get a quick feel for the language relative to Python and Perl. (related link) 7:13pm

Had a good visit with Tamara Stearns Kucmas and her kids. Together we enjoyed some take out from Kowloon Wasabi. After they left we quizzed the boys with more Brain Quest cards. 7:22pm

Bookmarks I made today:

Adoration of the Shepherds - By Gerrit Van Hontborst
Comment: Ordered the cards that will wrap around our family Christmas photo.
