I got this letter a couple of days ago based on a comment I made in flickr : Hello Marc, My girlfriend found this message you had on a photo message board about you having your head shaved. I am curious to know, as you said you had your head shaved, what was it like? … Continue reading Shaving your head
In trying to transfer my pictures from my camera to my computer and then, for some images, to flickr there are several challenges. First, I want my pictures to remain organized in some fashion so that I can work with them at the file/folder level and still easily figure out what pictures belong where. For … Continue reading The perfect photo software – (hint: I haven’t found it yet)
Kind of a dry posting but I just wanted to put up a kudos for Roto Router after they repaired my water main. Normally our water consumption is about 4-6K gallons a month. Probably even lower since I replaced all of our toilets with low flow (1.6 gallon) models while renovating the master bedroom last … Continue reading Roto Router and my water main
You really want to take a look at this video. If you’re already a skeptic, then you will find that it nicely reinforces your thinking in an entertaining fashion.If you’re of a superstitious bent or if you tend to favor “alternative” practices or subscribe to conspiracy theories, this video probably won’t shake your faith, but … Continue reading Here Be Dragons
I think that the world created by John Scalzi in this book has a lot of potential. I did not realize when I picked it up that it was actually the second one that he’d created in this universe (the first being “Old Man’s War”). But I also felt that he didn’t take advantage of … Continue reading The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi
I just received a pleasantly appointed piece of mail that, when I opened it, turned out to be yet another scam. The brightly colored balloons on the outside of the “tear along perforations to open” card did not disguise the fact that there is no “from” address on the outside. Opening the card a little … Continue reading UNI Travel Scam – Happy Birthday Indeed
And you’ve removed ALL connection documents that could be causing this and you’ve also gone and removed all traces of the obsolete servers from the events4.nsf database and from the ddm.nsf collection hierarchy? You must be running DDM my friend. Check out this technote then from IBM / Lotus. I went through and wholesale deleted … Continue reading You find some of your servers are still trying to replicate like crazy with servers you’ve removed from your Domino Domain?
We drive past these houses every year so, with new camera in hand, I thought I’d finally stop and wander around Eufaula a bit and try to capture what we find so appealing about these buildings. Boy! There is a LOT of traffic, especially truck traffic that comes through this little place…
Mich and I spent the past weekend (we made it a long weekend) in Panama City Beach. We stayed at a condo unit at “The Origin at Seahaven“. In the pictures you can see what the unit looked like and the view that we had. “The Origin” is actually across “Front Beach Road” from the … Continue reading Panama City Beach Pictures
Despite the somewhat corny advertising (“And that’s no bull!”) the food and service at Angelo’s Steak Pit are both excellent. It is *really* hard to get a steak cooked properly nowadays and I have to say that this Panama City Beach restaurant does it right. There is a distinctively road-house look to this place, so … Continue reading Angelo’s Steak Pit
