The new Linux box
Well I been messing around with this new Linux box I build this weekend and I think it seems to be working out well. I still need to update the OS from FC2 to FC7 I am working with the old hard drives so I have all my old data, the hard drives were not to bad, heck they were greate when I build the old system and they are still very good now, one is a 250Gb one and the other is a 100Gb one, so I should not feel any crunch on space for a long time to come still.
Todays bike ride
Today our church had it’s annual picnic, well I talked a friend of mine from church into biking up to it, it only took about 1 hour and fifteen minutes. At the place we had the picnic they also had a pool, so Joe and I ended up swimming for about 3 hours before riding back. My main problem is I never put sunscreen on, and now my shoulders are yelling at me now. But it was a good time. But now I have a major headache, don’t know if it from not drinking enough or from the sunburn. I did drink only 1.5 litters of water — not enough.
My Blog
Now that my Linux box is back up and running I probably will be posting more often to my blog. So if after all these months you are still checking this blog it is now again alive.
Got my Linux box back up
Well I went to get a new CPU for my Linux box today, well I could not get one to fit my mother board so I had to get a new mother board, and new memory, but at lest I got my Linux box back up and running it feels nice to have my Linux box back up and running.
Photo section back up
I got the photo section of my web site back up and running so you can see here
I think I got the spam problem down
Well it has been 3 days, and I have not seen spam, I know that is going to be the lowest and I will get more spam later, but it is 0 down from about 100 a day.
Here is a picture of my character in WoW

This should help stop the spam
I issued a sql command to the sql server that holds my blog, basicly said that if the comments section says allow, turn it to disallow, the timed ones should have all timed out, except the most resent ones, we shall see, if in a week I have over 100 spams again I will know that it did not work. But it should, since the spammers try to hit older posts, and I have all posts now set to disallow or allow comments only for 1 week after they are posted.
Tried to get a new CPU for my linux box today
but it looks like Best buy does not sell them any more, well atlest that is what I was told when I said I wanted to buy one. So I guess my photo section will be down for a little bit longer.
Tin Whistle music
Well here is another post. I have recorded some music that I played on my tin whistle click here to bleed your ears out
I forgot how bad the spam on my blog was
But I am getting about 30 an hour now. Spammers are the scum of the earth. It is not like they will ever get their stuff posted here, nor will I ever use their trashy stuff.
Bowling
I went bowling tonight with some friends of mine from church. It was a lot of fun, my first game I got some where in the 60’s my second game I got a 112.
Tin Whistle
I know some people would like me to post about my latest stuff with my Tin Whistle, well back on Easter Tim Palmer and I played the last hymn at church. Usally this is done on the front lawn for easter Sunday but this year it was to cold. “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” was the hymn that we played.
The mail is starting to come in
Well I have been elected to represent the South Western Pittsburgh circut at the LCMS national convention in Huston TX this year. Well I am starting to get a lot of information in the mail, and I am thinking I might not be able to read it all. But I will give a try; I will prioritize the stuff to, convention business, should read, and probably will not read if I don’t have the time.
