Ad Astra per Aspera
I realize I haven’t been posting lately. Things were busy at work and blah, blah, blah… Since we’re going to be traveling out east next week, I’ll be experimenting with posting while I’m away. Hopefully, I’ll even get some pictures up.

I just finished reading it. Yes, it was good. No, I’m not going to tell you anything more about it.

Well… There isn’t alot to tell here, but it was a day to celebrate!

Well… There isn’t alot to tell here, but it was a day to celebrate! First of all, it was the the night after the last day of school so I was already pretty happy and celebrating as dad brought home tidings of pizza and Pepsi, he also granted us a new movie to watch! After the movie I checked under the pepsi cap and there was FREE IPOD MINI staring right at me! I had won 1 of 10 000 of those beautiful ipods! Ok, this is getting boring, let me start over:
It was the last day of school, but our teacher wouldn’t let us leave! It was hopeless! We wouldn’t get out of the class until September! The irony! The pain! The suffering! Suddenly, some kid got mad and turned all green like the hulk, he didn’t really look as scary though. The teacher went to get him a barf bag. As soon as the two of them were gone, the class tried the door, it was blocked with a chair or something. So I found a vent and single file the class squeezed through. While we were in the vent we thought we escaped the teacher and all was well but we were wrong. As I turned the corner we ran into a Mouse-Monster!!! Some unlucky kid in the back of the vent smelt like cheese. Poor guy didn’t stand a chance, as the mouse went into his pants to find the cheese, he burst out laughing and couldn’t stop. The rest of us made it out fine and went home to our familys… And a T.V.
On my way home I saw a news man that looked like some actor from the movie ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ who said that the last of the five of the golden rubber things under the Pepsi caps had been found, they anounced the winners of a trip to the Pepsi Fac- I mean an Ipod Mini. I was sad so I bought a pepsi anyway. Just as I opened the pepsi the man went on on how the last person had been a fraud and the last cap was out there, I checked under the cap and I WON! Some 15 year olds saw and started to take it from me but some other guy pushed out of the way, he shouted “RUN KID RUN!” So i did. As I was running home to tell my beloved parents some wierd guy started singing some song, it sounded kind of like this: Cause he won a golden PepsithingthatsrubberunderthebottlecapyouknowwhatImean! The song wasn’t to good. I ran faster.
The End
Well, Mom went away to Knitting Camp in Wisconsin yesterday. Alas, Dad the dogs and I are on our own, wrestling with the vacuum, braving the laundry, and scrubbing the dishes. Man, do I miss mom! Mom should be back late on Wednesday, and I am counting down the days until I have to make … Continue reading “Mom’s Away”
Well, Mom went away to Knitting Camp in Wisconsin yesterday. Alas, Dad the dogs and I are on our own, wrestling with the vacuum, braving the laundry, and scrubbing the dishes. Man, do I miss mom! Mom should be back late on Wednesday, and I am counting down the days until I have to make my bed again.
Night 1:
Last night was a thunderstorm so our Rottweiler, Sunshine, was scared to death. (She was found in the wild before we got her from the Humane Society.) She was huddled in my bed until sometime after I fell asleep. Sunshine’s son, Lucky, (He seems mostly German Shepherd and part some other dogs) isn’t scared of anything though, he probably doesn’t even know what he should feel. He would just stand in the rain, get wet and then come inside. Other than that there isn’t much else to tell, so I’ll just leave it at that for our first night without mom.
Night 2:
Well, for night #2 I got to stay up later than usual as Dad and I went to a party sort of thing for the opening for the 6th Harry Potter book. Since The Harry Potter books can’t sell until midnight the store was ready to open but the doors didn’t until 12:00AM. Of course the second we showed one of the people that works there our pre-order form she said “Oh, you’re the Wilsons? We love Debbie.” (lol- laugh out loud) From Bookstores to Knitting and Quilting stores, everybody knows my mom!
(Once again, my dad read the entire book the next day.)
Eclipse R3.1 is out the door. Actually, it went yesterday at around noon. I just checked the downloads page and we’ve gone past the 200,000 mark. Wow. Update (August 8, 2005): We crossed the million download mark last weekend. Forty days. Wow!

Well. I picked up the LifeDrive yesterday. It has a very nice screen, and is reasonably fast when it wants to be. I am definitely seeing the issue that others have described: frequent pauses as it accesses the HD. I don’t think this will bother me in the longer term, but it will take some … Continue reading “Palm, the LifeDrive and the Universal Keyboard”

I am definitely seeing the issue that others have described: frequent pauses as it accesses the HD. I don’t think this will bother me in the longer term, but it will take some getting used to.
I also bought one of the Universal Keyboards. I honestly think this is the nicest of the Palm keyboards yet. Very usable, with a full 4 rows of keys. The only issue is it’s quite heavy. Probably not enough to stop me from keeping it in my bag, however.
On a bit of a hiatus from posting while getting the Eclipse SDK R3.1 release out. Back in a week or so, unless something really cool happens. 🙂

This has been a heck of a week. I’m exhausted.

Guild Oie Jedoonee is getting together IRL! Everyone who was available is coming over to my house today for burgers, beer, and much World of Warcraft playing. I’ve got enough room for 6 or 7 machines. If we need more than that, it’s going to get messy. I guess we’ll have to see. I have … Continue reading “The GCW Lan Party”
Guild Oie Jedoonee is getting together IRL!
Everyone who was available is coming over to my house today for burgers, beer, and much World of Warcraft playing. I’ve got enough room for 6 or 7 machines. If we need more than that, it’s going to get messy. I guess we’ll have to see. I have network connections for 9, but I’m also running wireless which will work well enough for people with laptops.
Randy is bringing over a long table which will hold 2 for sure, maybe 2 + a laptop. Most people will have card chairs to sit on, though. 🙁
