Okay, this is fun. Our two-year old eMachine keeps periodically freezing up, typically at least once a day or more, and I was hoping someone might have some ideas as to what to do about it or what’s causing it. I can’t seem to ferret out the problem, but it often seems to freeze when… Continue reading Emachine freezing

Oregon tsunamis
This article on Bend.com is interesting, about the occurence (and likelihood of) tsunamis off the coast of Oregon. Some time between 9 and 10 p.m. on Jan. 26, 1700, a similar great earthquake, with the same estimated magnitude as the one in Asia, struck the Northwest, rocking the region with strong shaking for several minutes.… Continue reading Oregon tsunamis
The Fortune blogging article
Fortune magazine has a big article about blogging out (here, via Joi Ito), it’s pretty good. There’s a few quotes I really liked that I pulled for everyone’s enjoyment: “If you fudge or lie on a blog, you are biting the karmic weenie” — quote from Steve Hayden of Ogilvy & Mather “Yes, for all… Continue reading The Fortune blogging article
PHP Suggest
Over on php.net, they announced a full implementation of a search field suggestion box: The function list suggestions we started to test a year ago seemed to be working better as some bugs were found and fixed, so it was time to make the result available on all php.net pages. Whenever you type something… Continue reading PHP Suggest

It was about the year in news, I think, but I was also finishing up dishes and enthralled in an exciting… Continue reading Barney on TV

After we got up and opened up presents, I made some giant French toast on my new griddle… Continue reading Post Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Some Christmas Eve wishes for everyone. I likely won’t be online much tomorrow, there’s just too much fun to be had in realspace. So, Merry Christmas, and I hope Santa Claus brings everyone what they want!
Happy birthday to me!
Yeah, a straight-up ego/vanity post. I’m off from work today, the first day of a five-day weekend. How’s everyone else’s day going? 🙂
Eggnog
Okay, it’s the holidays, who doesn’t love eggnog? Of course you could buy all the eggnog you want from the store, but that’s boring. Searching through the cookbooks we have, I found no fewer than three different eggnog recipes. The one that appeals to me the most is a combination of an egg custard and… Continue reading Eggnog
Christmas parties galore
So Thursday evening the kids’ daycare/preschool had their Christmas program, with each class performing two (or more) songs. Before the performances, Santa and his elves had arrived and all the kids waited in line to see them (although when you’re talking about kids ranging in age from 1 to 5, “waiting in line” is relative),… Continue reading Christmas parties galore
