TAM6 is “The Amazing Meeting” ‘s 6th incarnation. Since I’ve been listening to and reading about many of these folks for years I thought it would be a lot of fun to attend this year to see these folks live and interact with some like minded folks. TAM spans Thursday through Sunday but my chief … Continue reading In Las Vegas for TAM6
A few of us headed out to Lake Allatoona to get a jump on the Independence Day weekend. The crowds were nil, the water was good for tubing and skiing and the food was great! Perfect weather for our outing too! The goofier pictures/videos are reserved for friends and family, but most of the shots … Continue reading Photos from our Pre-Independence Day Company Outing
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.

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

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…
