About 6 months ago, I turned off the guestbook on my site because of spammers. I have still been seeing in my server logs that the spammers are still trying to put entries in there, but not seeing any real legitimate traffic to that page, and I have not gotten any complaints about it not[…]
The pictures I talked about on April 9th about Kayaking last year came in there are about 20 pictures. I also got 3 pictures from biking last year. And there were 3 pictures from this year. They did not turn out that bad, the pictures of the Kayaking are good. I put the Kayak album[…]
I think that peta has lost it, they claim fish are smarter the dogs. Well I might give them that when I look into the eyes of my Bettas they do seam to have some intelligence to them. But that is just antidotal evidence and no way to form a campaign. Even if fish are[…]
This is cool I just found a web site that lists blog of people that are in the Pittsburgh area. The only problem when they list places people might live they did not list the neighborhood of Pittsburgh, so I just filled in the “other field” and put in Oakland. Well technically I should have[…]
Well it came out in some newspaper that Bush uses an iPod. In my option a non-story, who cares what music play the President uses. Yet I seen a lot of liberals on-line today say that 1) the iPod is not cool anymore 2) they will not use an iPod since Bush uses one. Come[…]
Today on my biking trip, I went up onto to Mt. Washington. I took the incline up, there is no way any one could really get up to the top of Mt. Washington without either a motorized auto or the incline, it is just to steep to get up. Came down I Sycomore St. It[…]
Jon Fortt’s Technofile has some very good stuff on it, I stopped reading slashdot back at the beginning of the year, but been looking for a good site to get some tech news from for a while, and I think I found it. Jon Fortt’s site is interesting, it focuses mainly on Apple related stuff[…]
Last year I picked up one of those disposable cameras. It was a waterproof one. I picked it up to take some pictures while kayaking. The problem was I only used 17 of the 27 pictures while out on the water. So I had left the camera in my bike back all the time since[…]
It is nice that the weather is starting to get warmer now. I have had about a week of great weather here in Pittsburgh. I been getting out on the bike more, for the last 4 days, I have gotten at lest 3 hours of biking in a day. When I was younger I did[…]
The last 2 days I did a total of 6 hours of bike riding. 3 hours each day. Yesterday 2 of the hours on the bike were trying for the first time some mountain biking. 2 lessons learned about mountain biking yesterday. Your breaks are very important while mountain biking and my bike is not[…]
My aquarium is starting to get over grown with the plants that I have put in there. I am very pleased with how it is going. I wanted plenty of places for the fish to hid, and the free O2 that the plants would make for the tank. Some of the plants that I put[…]
Last night while I was feeding my fish in my 20 Gal tank I decided to see what would happen if I just held the food in the tank. Well most of the fish were (naturally) still afraid of me so they did not come for the food, but 3 of my fish swam right[…]
I got a couple of more rides in today. For about a total of 3 hours of biking in. It feels great to get a few rides in. I am going to see if I can get some rides in this weekend. I have a friend that is into meteorology and he said that this[…]
Well it seams that the new season of biking is on us again. I went on a nice short trip today, about an hour long. I did a run down the jail trail. The only problem was that the city found it necessary to turn off the drinking founts on both side the trail. I[…]
I found this post on Backup DNA on another blog. Would it not be cool if humans did have this same backup DNA built in. If humans did, maybe we could find a way to cause the backup to be brought forth. This probably would have to be done very early in a womans pregnancy.[…]
To work on getting better in shape, along with getting back on the bike, I went and rejoined the gym I use to be a member of. Went down for the first welcome session that they give “new members” and instead of driving down, I used it as an excuse to ride my bike and[…]
I had a great time this last 4th of July. First I went out and tried to activate a pota, while I failed at it because I made only 4 contacts, and when it got to 100 degrees it was to hot for me to continue, and I had been at it for 2 hours[…]
Well today sony annouced that starting Jan of 2028 that they will end physical media for the playstation. My response is, well I don’t need to buy new games after Jan 2028. And given the rumors about the potental price tag of the PS6, it will save me a lot of money, as I will[…]
I have for over a decade missed riding my bike, this summer is the summer I am going to get back on the bike. I walked my bike down to the corner bike shop to get it tuned up, I really needs it as the last time I used it was back in 2014. I[…]
I been wanting to get a amature radio license plate for my car for a while now. Today after my annual eye exam I went down to the DMV and apply to get them, and have been told in about 4 to 5 weeks I should get them in the mail. It will be nice[…]
Last weekend I was feeling board so I decided to go along with my ham radio license, I would also buy a GMRS license. I got the equipment and set it up, I have one in the car, and one at my radio table here at home. I have a Btech in the car, I[…]
I got my General license in October, and a FT-710 back in December. I have been struggling on getting the setting right on the radio to so I could get a contact on HF. I have it hooked up to a LDG Z-100A tuner, and the Antanna is a Diamond HFV-5 pentaband antanna. But the[…]
As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my[…]
Recently amazon decided to force an update on the Echo Auto, to the stupid Alexa+ I did not want it, months ago when they first tried it you could exit it. But last month they decided that they were going to force it and not let you exit or disable it. I refuse to use[…]
