So, some folks on the forums my old everquest guild come gaming collective use … uh … some folks on a forum I read were talking about the “100 pushup challenge” and talking about trying it. We have some stuff dedicated to quarterly weight stuff and diet etc, so I figured I’d join in on [...]

			Left for vacation last friday. Left the house at 10:30, arrived in NC at 11:30. AM and PM respectively … To be fair, however, we left at 10:30, went to gymboree, picked up a few things at target, did lunch, hit the grocery for my happy pills so they wouldn’t run out thursday evening. Got [...]

			So, Sunday for Father’s day, we (Kiir, DK and me) went out to pick strawberries at Larriland again :) Which is humourous, since I don’t actually much like strawberries, although I’m told that as a child I did. Certainly explains why I remember going strawberry picking with my mom. Had wondered why I did that [...]

			So …. Yeah. Today, amongst various other tasks and errands, we stopped at Dream Wizards. Dream Wizards was where I used to buy Magic: The Gathering, Illuminati: New World Order, and Jyhad cards. Back in high school ;) We’d play in the back rooms on Friday evenings, and pick it all up and drive to [...]

			So, DK is upstairs trying to fall asleep. Kiir was up all night reading, so she’ll likely fall asleep with him, although she did have a nap after I got home (and probably during his afternoon nap, but I don’t know for sure) I’m going through my feeds (busy lately ; I’ve managed to keep [...]

			So … One of the tasks I’ve been looking at is a password server at the office. The major driving goal is that, after 5 years or so of succesfully NOT changing the password every 90-days, someone at the top of the Oracle group got a bug up their ass (actually, I think it’s a [...]

			I don’t have a lot to say right now. I’m a little behind on my crypto posts, so I should probably head there next. DK didn’t want to go to bed at 9, so he came downstairs and fussed about for ~30 miinutes, then fell asleep on my legs for two hours. pins and needles [...]

			So, after last night’s post … This morning DK got up at 6:30 while I was in the shower. So instead of leaving early and taking a slightly earlier train to the office, I played Lego Indiana Jones with him for half an hour . At which point he was falling asleep and another ten [...]

			A week or so ago, maybe 10 days now?, Kiir sent the XBox back downstairs. I think I was pissing her off to a degree with the comments about it. Wasn’t my intention, as I was kvetching to kvetch. Yeah, I missed being able to play it, but I know she spends a lot of [...]

			So, during a meeting today, there was a huge long discussion that went on. About how this or that would be easier for group A if group B did X differently. Now, in and of itself, it’s not that bad. Except that Group A keeps harping on it. And spent half an hour hammering at [...]
