Another Day In The Life - June 2009

Yet another day in the Life. We only have a couple more weeks to go, if that long before it is vacation time. I can use the Days Off. It has been way too long since I've had any time off to speak of. I"m not sure that I'm excited about spending the summer in Missouri, but that is where the SIL (Sister -in-law)  and Bil (Brother-In-Law)  and family are located, so we'll see how this all pans out. I can only hope that I can maintain some sort of Internet Connectivity. If not... I may be a borderline Manicdepressive before it is over. I've got my fingers crossed. I've always enjoyed the company of the Sister-in-law, and the Brother-in-law up and until now. I guess we'll see how it all works out.

My Kid is Driving Me Crazy

Well...I just took a look at my kids grades on line. Not looking good. I thought he was happy with band. But that is a D... and I don't know if it can be pulled out.

He's got an A going in Math. And then some C's, but geez I wish his care factor was higher.

This is  LUbuntu 12.04 on a P4 with a Gig of Ram. If I shutdown I have an alias i use to restart the wifi driver. I should just add it to startup. But I don't shut it down that often. Until some update wants a reboot. It's connected to IRC for me. I thought getting the alias working was an ok upgrade. Some devices I found were windows only. No mention of Linux. I knew better than go there. I also wasn't looking to spend a lot of money to keep my old desktop connected to the InterWeb. This was under $20 and some of my time to figure out the driver. My Rhino thumb drive is actually bigger than the device. ================================================= I'm revisiting this tech in 2019. Linuxmint 19 runs nicely on my old desktop and it built the driver for the device easily. Had some ...

WTF 2

Well, I went to the ER Quick and painless...except for removing the stickies from monitor pads. Bell's Palsy is the diagnosis. A facial nerve acting up. Some small steroid treatment, may or may not help. Take some pills for a few days.  It should not happen again.  I certainly hope not.
