I sounds of the empty pipes in the apartment building starting to get steam in them is very loud at times. It sounds like some one is hitting the pipes with a hammer. Well if the temp in the area keeps going down, the noise should be over in a few days, but if the[…]

I am one of the few fortunate people that get to live near my church. Today it paid off. I kind of forgot about Saturday night vespers at church, until I heard the church bell ringing. I am only a five minute walk away from church, so I was able to get there fast.

I figure just a bit more of php out so now instead of having the old hack of doing an instant redirect when some one comes to my page to the blog, I just included it via php and there is no ugly redirection going on. This should make things just that much nicer for[…]

It turns out the hard drive has some bad blocks on it, so I need to first format the file systems myself out side of the installer, since the installer does not have the option to check for bad blocks, that generated some errors on the beginning of the install. So I just started the[…]
