1. Just got back from a Maycation. Went to the renfair in Atlanta. 10 hour drive. One way. My butt hurts. As renfairs go it is not that great if what you are there for is to see the shows. Poorly laid out with poor scheduling. You can't simply go from show to show. Saw a nice harp. Candi bought lotsa stuff (boots, corset, jewelry etc.) ( Read more... )

I had planned on building / finishing my new computer this weekend.  So much for plans.  One day pruning roses and one day unpacking and assembling my christmas present and the weekend is gone .  Gone I tell you.  Oh well.  Now lets see.  I was asked what is in the new computer ( Read more... )

We know it.. we all know it.  So if you want to see what I have been doing the last weekend or so.. Got http://www.housedraco.org and click the link for our pictures.  Then check out the home projects for the new pictures.

It's not bad enough that I have to hear Wicked and other broadway plays all the time from Candi. But now she is playing the Japanese version of wicked. With words and music in Japanese. Help oh help.

I use linux for about 90% of my work (the other 10% is video editing since the tools I teach the kids to use are windows based. Anyway, I need a windoze emulation/ working environment within linux to be fully effective. I have tried them all (and yes I do mean all) been beta for most, been code contributor for some and give every one a workout. ( Read more... )

I kept wondering why the birds would burst into song when I went into the back yard. Now I know. For the first time since we move here I got some good tomatos growing. So what doI hear this morning from Candi. "There is a huge cardinal in the middleof your tomatos going after them." I look and it's flipping true. I was wondering why I had not ( Read more... )

You know, the saying is that I will be glad to go back to work so I can relax and get some rest. And lordy is it true. This summer, tis redo the bathrooms. New shower stall, drywall, paint, paint trim, stain floors, and put it all in together. It's taken us about a week and I am bushed.

ok.. rhiannon is now married.

I've used SuSE Linux now for quite a while.  I first started using Linux with kernel 1.2.13 with a slackware cd.  Tried and used Redhat, Caldera (for it's time I really liked and and in fact preferred it to redhat.) and ended up with SuSE for a simple reason.  When I was doing my main comparison of Linux builds, SuSE had the most databases with ( Read more... )

Server died last weekend.  So I built another.  As an observation, I was always under the impression that the router for your home could pretty much be any old box.  And that is what we had been using, any old box.  A Wal mart special that I bought new for 200 from walmart online.  It worked faithfully for 3 years or so.  (maybe 4).  But when I got ( Read more... )
