Just my luck, it looks like the server that runs my personal mail server is starting to die. Granted it’s an ancient 133 MHz Dell laptop, but still… I just stopped working once over the weekend, so I dug it out from under the desk and rebooted it. It worked fine the rest of the [...]

Mail sever woes
May 17, 2004Names, names and more names
May 16, 2004We’ve been working hard to try and come up with names for the new baby, but we’re struggling. It was so easy with Ellie, we knew even before Fern was pregnant what we would call the baby, but now…
We have been reading a couple of really good books by Linda Rosenkrantz, and Pamela Redmond [...]
Event Calendar and overLIB
May 14, 2004I’ve been playing with phpEventCalendar recently as a calendaring tool for group to which both Fern and I belong. The php and MySQL based calendar system was simple and worked really well for what I wanted, but one of the other systems that I looked had a neat feature. Whenever you would mouse over the [...]

Resume business
May 11, 2004It seems that we should open up a resume writing business. Over the past couple of months we have helped a growing number of friends improve their resumes. Both Fern and I work on them together. We have a format that looks professional, then we help put the right spin, details and keywords into the [...]
Pink, Pink and more Pink!
May 11, 2004Last weekend was very busy. So now you’re wondering what that has to do with pink. Well on Saturday we painted Ellie’s new room, and you can guess he color. OK, so you think you need a hint. Well, we painted it Ballerina Gown Pink. I mean really pink. It will look better once we [...]
Migrating GroupWise to Exchange (migration errors with reminder notes)
May 7, 2004One of the things that we have been trying to overcome is problems related to the migration of certain data from GroupWise to Exchange. In particular we’ll get a crash of the Exchange Migration Wizard when trying to migrate some users. We’ve been able to track the problem down to Reminder Notes. Not all notes [...]
A new Yeti Sports game
May 5, 2004A new Yeti Sports game has been released. Albatross Overload is the fourth in a series of flash games. A fun way to pass a couple of minutes when you need a break. So far my best score is 3459.70 meters, with a single flight max of 1266.92 meters. I got some good tips from [...]
Final Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 episdoe
May 4, 2004I just finished watching the final episode of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. It has taken at least 8 months to watch as Comcast released episodes on their OnDemand service. In typical Anime style I didn’t really understand the ending, but that’s OK. I enjoyed watching the series. I still need to see the first 6 [...]
April recap
May 4, 2004April was a really busy month for me and I didn’t get a chance to keep the blog updated as much as I wanted. Things at work seemed to just snowball from bad to worse. We had massive server problems that resulted in over 2 days of complete downtime for the organization. The whole email [...]
