The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
Things (both good and bad) always seem to happen in threes. So when our hard drive went bad, and then less than a week later our video card burned out, we were wondering what would be next. Unfortunately, that question was answered on Saturday. The replacement video card that I ordered from Amazon was DOA. [...]
A good day is when you come home from work and your daughter is home for college and lying out by the pool as if she had never been gone. A not so good day is when you’re sparring and you don’t notice that you forgot to put in your mouth guard until your opponent [...]
I’ve been considering how to dispose of the USB TV tuner I have since it doesn’t work with Windows 7. I hate to get rid of it since it was a Christmas gift from California Girl; but, the company that manufactured it got purchased by a competitor and now there isn’t even a “Windows 7 [...]
January Had an occasion to do the Snoopy Dance because of something that happened at work. Took a cool photograph of California Girl with the flowers she received at The Girl’s last senior night. We reviewed the proofs of The Girl’s senior photographs and made our selections. It was a bit discomforting how rapidly her [...]
California Girl and I both picked up or new eyeglasses today. They were very expensive which we expected; but they look very stylish which is good since we need to wear them all of the time. We are both still getting used to the new prescriptions; but my vision is much improved and her California [...]
Last Saturday, I posted about having a productive day and how that’s both good and bad. The past few days have been more of the same. We ate much too much at my mom’s house on Thursday. That’s good and bad for obvious reasons. Even though Saturday is typically our off day, we’re going to [...]
Today was a productive day, which, for a Saturday in November, is both good and bad. The replacement part arrived on Friday so I fixed the turn signal switch on the car that The Girl usually drives. Good that its fixed; but bad that I spent much of the morning upside down underneath the dash [...]
We were drowning in spam emails so I used some of my “extra” free time this weekend to configure a spam filter for our mail server. We’ve had a few spam messages get through; but nothing like what we were getting. I had forgotten how pleasant it was to start my email client and only [...]
California Girl got a Droid phone too! She had been planning to keep her old phone for a while longer; but really liked the capabilities of the Phones with the Android OS, so we purchased a smartphone for her on Friday. After having a basic feature phone for so many years, the technology is amazing. [...]
Since I recently got an Android phone, I’ve become interested in how this site looks on mobile devices. For now, I’ve decided to use WPtouch. It only works with iPhones/iPods, Androids and Blackberries; but there aren’t many (if any) other 3G/4G phones that can effectively browse a multimedia heavy site such as ours anyway. If [...]
