So boss #1 is leaving in a couple of weeks so he can finish building his dream home. New #1 boss has that long to come up with the future direction before he takes over. Unlike the other changes, this one might actually impact me some how, but hopefully not too much.

Yay! I've now completed all 120 (including 12 training puzzles) in Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. I thought they were all pretty easy until the last seven. Those all took around 30 minutes each.

There are some pictures of the window in the area by the kitchen that used to be the dining area. We put 3Form plastic with reeds in it so some light can go between the laundry room and that area while not having to actually look from one room to another.

I forgot the pictures of the shower glass in the bathroom which really is the last of the ( Read more... )

Picutes of the living room, library, whatever area.

Failure to Launch - Not quite the typical romantic comedy. Yeah it has the same overall formula, but the situation is unique and that makes the whole thing pretty fun to watch.

Clerks - I watched this again this past weekend with someone who had never seen that. I'm not sure how they came to be in that situation but it was still great watching the ( Read more... )

We didn't get the tv room finished or the shed, but good progress was made on both. A good reason for the slow speed was that the tv room is where we stored pretty much everything during the remodel. Now I have a number of things to unpack and find new homes for and that is how I came across the trophies. These are things that go back to junior ( Read more... )

Saturday we tried to go to Sacramento to Nicole's brother's BBQ, but after 2 hours and only getting 80 miles and hearing that traffic was the same the rest of the way we gave up. On the way back home we decided to get lobsters to compensate at 99 Ranch Market so we got two 1.5 and 1 3lb lobster. Yum ( Read more... )

3. A certificate to put on a device to validate code signed with the signing certificate
4. To be able to do all this with openssl or the Java keytool

With the Java keytool I can make a self signed certificate and ( Read more... )

Before reading Joseph Ellis' "His Excellency George Washington" I think the most I knew was that he was the first president (two terms), he was the general in the revolutionary war, he had a wife named Martha, and he had false teeth. American history classes never talk about his except to acknowledge he was there before going back to the ( Read more... )

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - I can't recall the last time I've seen so many cheesy cliches strung together. This movie was fantastic and is easily the best of the three Fast and Furious movies. More racing and less half-assed cop story to get in the way.

Elizabethtown - It started off slow and a little awkward and I didn't much care ( Read more... )
