If any of you have been trying to post comments lately, I apologize for the problems. My web hosting company, Fidelity Hosting, has been completely unreachable the last few weeks, ever since they broke my connectivity to the database back end that drives this site. After trying for over two weeks to contact somebody, anybody, [...]

As promised, here are finally some photos of our Audrey. Audrey is, by our best guess, part Labrador Retriever and part Border Collie. We adopted her from Lifeline Puppy Rescue near Brighton, Colorado.

Not the most timely on keeping this updated, I know. But I’m so very excited to be able to tell the world: we’re having a baby! Jennie is due in late May. The grandparents-to-be are, of course, very excited. We told them all this weekend.

If you’re like me, you are behind a crazy-restrictive firewall, that only allows outbound traffic through a web proxy. Occasionally, I have need of non-release software, like the latest CVS source from the ant-contrib project. The stupid thing is, the latest CVS packages don’t include proxy support. After hours of searching, I finally found an [...]

Boo hoo. Poor old George. Interleague play isn’t going to let his Yankees pad their lead on the Red Sox this year, so it must be unfair. This man is the worst sport in the world, I swear. Who else complains about their schedule when they are in first place in their division and make [...]
