Today brought some ups and downs and interesting quirks. It started out great. Crossbo’s mystery lameness disappeared yesterday and he was feeling sassy today. I decided to play it safe and give him some more time off, but that was no problem because Arthur was also feeling in his prime. With a 2:00 PM hunt,… Continue reading Check out my new wheels
New Look
You may have noticed that things look a little different here. We have a new and improved, or at least new, look. To take care of a few little bugs, I upgraded to the newest release of the Geeklog software that drives this site. I was too lazy to make all the changes necessary to… Continue reading New Look
Monthly Update
Wow .. it’s been a month since my last post. I suppose it’s not much of an excuse that February was a short month. There just hasn’t been much that I thought was worth writing about. That doesn’t mean I’ve been a total couch potato. In fact, last week I was busy breaking in a… Continue reading Monthly Update
Great Minds Think Alike
My boss sent me a reference to this article about one of the most potentially horrifying effects of global climate change. But it wasn’t a surprise to me. I had already seen a reference to a similar article on my former boss’s blog. It’s nice to know that I work with people who understand so… Continue reading Great Minds Think Alike
Single Fault Tolerance
I think Crossbo’s beloved Aunt Julie jinxed him this week. After passing along the information that we had a hunt today to make up for Wednesday’s weather cancellation, she asked if “her boy” was shod. I somewhat indignantly replied that of course, he was. Brian had been here just a few days earlier to replace… Continue reading Single Fault Tolerance
Can You Hear King Now?
“Can you hear King now?” While I was getting ready to hunt Monday, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was asking that question repeatedly during his keynote speech at Lexington’s Martin Luther King Commemorative Program. I’m glad I hunted, but after an enthusiastic email from someone who had been at the speech, I’m also sorry I missed… Continue reading Can You Hear King Now?
Happy Birthday, Dr. King
Today was a beautiful day in the midst of a span of nasty weather, a perfect day for a march in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But, for the first time in many years, I selfishly left the marching to others while I participated in more recreational activities.
Criminally Annoying
CNet has an interesting column by Declan McCullagh. He warns (or promises) that “annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime”. At first I thought this could be a bad news/good news. Although it sounds like more outrageous government meddling, I can think of some annoying people that I wouldn’t mind having locked… Continue reading Criminally Annoying
Quote of the week
The latest security flaw in Windows has stirred up some controversy among security experts about whether an unofficial patch should be installed to prevent exploitation. One self-proclaimed expert said, apparently with a straight face, “It’s certainly not a good recommendation, in our opinion, to all of a sudden start recommending code of this nature. At… Continue reading Quote of the week
Look out for the wall!
It’s the time of year when everybody is full of holiday spirits, or just using the holiday as an excuse to be full of spirits. With the holiday spirit in mind, I recieved a couple of recent emails that I thought were worthy of comment. They were both humorous, but I thought that each could… Continue reading Look out for the wall!
