Normal Friday Afternoon

A normal Friday afternoon in our househould:

Appalachian Trail



Some day I’ll make the move to thru-hike the the Appalachian Trail. And when I finish, maybe something like this.

late night notes

Sophia is in the neglect-o-matic because it seems to be the only thing besides pacing the room that will keep her quiet at the moment. She’s fighting not to sleep really hard. I thought I would take advantage of this time (being awake) to scribble some online.

I’m almost done setting up a corporate IM server at work. We are using jabberd and i’m quite impressed with it so far. I’ve tried out at least 5 different jabber clients for OS X and have decided that nitro is the most pretty, but does not have a whole lot of options. It might be a project I would be interested in getting involved with to start playing with Xcode.

We are headed to Portland for thanksgiving to spend time with my family. Charlotte and I are bringing a 20lb Shelton turkey and two bottles of Allegrini Amarone red wine.

I should spend some time putting together the other areas of this site I have planned but it’s so difficult to find time now days. Just so I don’t forget, J. remember to upload the reviews of the iPod and iPhoto Book. Also you were thinking of documenting how you were able to create transparent copyrights on your images. Oh, and why not copyright the existing gallery and write your thumbnail code?

Sophia is now sleeping in the swing. I moved it down to the lowest rocking speed. She weighed 11lbs 12oz on Friday. Charlotte and I are really proud of her. It’s a shame that she just fell asleep and I will have to wake her up in 15 to give her some meds. Oh, also; she’s starting to smile and make little noises now. More a deliberate emotion than before. It’s nice seeing them grow up and mature. She has some outfits that are too small now.

It’s time for her medicine now. I’ll go wake her up and then hope I can get her back to sleep before 3am. lates.

feeling trendy, feeling tired

Charlotte gave me a 40GB ipod for my birthday. I never wanted one until a friend told me I could use it as a regular hard drive, and i’ve been needing some method to backup my laptop. This thing is really cool, I can fit all of my mp3s (yes, legit mp3s) plus an encrypted disk image of my home directory. Now if only apple’s backup software supported encrypted archives for backups.

I will post a review of this iPOD, as well as a review of my first photo book from iPhoto when I have some time. (Not sure where I will find that again.)

Why doesn’t wordpress have a spell checker? And where has the preview functionality of publishing a post gone?

And finally, a few more pictures of sophia in the gallery. Link directly to them here.
