Suburban Tap caters to a pretty active crowd and it’s a basic pub at heart. The fries here are surprisingly good. I suppose I shouldn’t be so surprised as, so far, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve had on their menu. I’m pretty sure these are the pre-fab kind of fries (a la Burger King) but their … Continue reading Suburban Tap Fries – Excellent
I’m slowly moving my pictures from my own, locally hosted, gallery up to Flickr. There’s a wider audience there and, quite frankly, the local gallery is a bit onerous to maintain. There are *thousands* of files involved so any updates and backups take quite a while to complete. These pictures were taken at Michelle’s office’s … Continue reading Halloween 2007 pictures on Flickr

It was very nicely appointed, having everything you would need to spend a week there except food. We took the opportunity to visit and hike in a couple … Continue reading Trip to Ellijay

It’s a little less overwhelming that way for both viewers and for me. 🙂 Just click on the picture at left to jump there. … Continue reading New Jeeping set on Flickr

A fairly common problem in Domino / Lotus Notes is to have a mismatch between the private key in some user’s user.id file and the public key in the Directory (Address Book). This can come about through a number of ways: restoring a really old copy of a user ID, recreating a user ID without … Continue reading Cure for Public / Private key mismatch in Lotus Notes
About 4 years ago, shortly after the Georgia Public Service Commission completely abdicated their responsibilities and threw Georgia consumers to the Natural Gas provider “wolves”, I invested in a bunch of electric heaters to use as part of a “zoned” scheme to keep my house comfortable (heat only the bedroom area in the evening and … Continue reading Honeywell HZ519 Baseboard Heater Noise Issue / Rotary Heater Rotating Lifetime
As scary as this looks I have to say that I’d *love* to try this someday. There is very little room for error and you definitely need to be confident with your skills. Of course parking off to the side and watching planes taking off and landing from here would be a lot of fun … Continue reading Now *that’s* a landing!
