Home

We are back from Vegas, and let me tell you: it’s good to be home. One can only stand so much of the visual/moral assault – not to mention that not only did I have to be in my conference sessions all day, but also spend time with Laura as she wanted to explore several [...]

Viva Las Vegas

Laura and I will be travelling to Las Vegas Today. I’m going to attend a conference, while she’s going to hang out with me. This is a perfect excuse to see Las Vegas without choosing to vacation there. The cool part is that tere will likely be some great picture-taking opportunities – so we’re both [...]

Could It Be…?

Is the server fixed? I’ve replaced the motherboard and so far, two days in, no reboots! Of course, that pesky Microsoft has a patch out now that is going to require a reboot, but that’s okay. I’m fairly certain that I’ve gotten all the problems addressed now and that the server will stay up indefinitely [except [...]

Not A Power Problem

It seems that the power supply was not the sole problem for the server. Having done all they asked, I have now gotten an RMA and will be recieving a new motherboard soon to replace the one I have. Maybe then the crashes will stop. I am glad I have the new power supply, though. [...]

Back To The Cold

And I thought we were done with Winter! Anyhow: our flight back from Tampa [where we stayed with a friend after our Naples trip - and went to a hockey game] took a very long time. In fact, we were over six hours delayed due to bad weather. Funny thing, though: we were fine with [...]

Live From Naples

Today was a great day. We arrived in Naples, FL last night and discovered that we were fairly tired. All that planning Laura did seemed not too important today when we just sat on the beach. We did a little swimming in the Winter water, though. That was… uh… refreshing? I just about froze my [...]
