Free Books. I should read some of these.

But, I probably won’t. Heck, I barely read the books that I actually spend money on. Top 100 – Project Gutenberg

Dish Network Remotes

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

I’ve had a Dish Network receiver for, well, for a long time. Probably for eight or nine years now; I got it pretty soon after moving into the house here in Santa Clara and have had it ever since. Initially we liked them because they carried the Comedy Channel ( which eventually became Comedy Central […]

I could never make anything cool in Lego.

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Certainly not cool like this. As I recall, I use to make a lot of box-like things, and space ships, and crap like that. Dice Generator – GamesByEmail

Turkey Day

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Downloading a Google video

The leg continues to recover

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

It’s been nine weeks since I broke my leg, and I’m doing pretty well. I see my doctor again in about a week, and I hope he’ll start me on physical therapy and walking without the crutches, and I really hope he’ll clear me to drive because being chauffeured around sucks.

So, I’ve come to hate Moveable Type…

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Loretta’s blog was done in Moveable Type on my Mac OS X server. I set it up for her before she went to Japan, so she’d have some place to post what she was doing and some pictures for me and her family, and it worked ok, as long as I didn’t do anything to […]
