Dad's in town this week for a visit with family and a Santa class. Had dinner with him, Amanda, Nick, Uncle Steve, Aunt Jane and Grandmother -- Ryan's just about got "granddad" and "G.G" (Great Grandmother), but not quite. Dad's coming to our house this afternoon to visit and have dinner again; and then we'll be letting dad take him out all day on Thursday for some one-on-one time.  Had CoolRay come check my a/c at the house and clean it/recharge it, since we've noticed that our electricity usage is quite a lot higher than last year at this time. He found it to be dirty, and about a pound low on freon, probably because of a cap that was missing somewhere. Fixed all that, recharged it, and now we'll see how energy usage goes. I just have no idea what else we have added to the house to use so much extra energy this year... My new/reallocated UPS estimates that I have 209 minutes of battery-time for my AP, Router/Firewall, 2 small servers, my RAID server, Cable Modem, main switch and Phone ATA. So, in theory, we can surf the web via WiFi with the power out longer than our laptop batteries will last :) Tags: family, fix it, geek

Katie and her mom went to see a movie on Saturday and do some shopping, while I hung out at home with The Boy. I worked on getting my laptop up and running OSX (project x86), but never got it to completely install, and after several hours I gave up. Might have worked better with a newer laptop maybe, I'm not sure if I had the right drivers or patches, and information on the project is pretty sketchy, due to all the different computer configurations there are out there... I installed my newly acquired 3000VA UPS and Battery Pack that I got from a decommissioning at the office. It was about 2 years old, and the batteries should be good for 3-5 years, so it's perfectly overkill for holding up my fileserver, and all my network gear that I keep down in the basement. I hope I never have to move it again, the combined weight of the 2 parts is ~200lbs. Ryan's decided that he's comfortable getting himself out of bed now. He knows that he can get in and out on his own, that's not new, but he's always just sat in bed and waited for one of us to go get him out. This weekend, when i heard him stirring I just called out to him from our bedroom -- he hopped out of bed, came out of his room, closed the door behind him - and came to see us. Same after his nap on Sunday. So, he's currently still waiting to be /invited/ out, but more than happy to come out on his own. It's hard for me to believe he's not even two, and already really acts just like a normal person, doing so many of the things big people do... On Sunday, we noticed after church that Ryan wasn't saying "GiGi" when referring to his friend Angie -- he actually had "Angie" down. They walked out of church hand in hand, between Rachel and myself. We didn't get a picture, but it was really cute. My Mom and sister came over in the afternoon to visit. Ryan belted out another surprise calling Amanda "Auntie" (very clearly) - so she was super excited about that. "Grammy" doesn't seem to agree with him, so we're working on "MiMi" which is working better. We went out to dinner, and they left around 9:30. So we watched Coraline after they left. That's a pretty freaking weird movie, but we really liked it. It was a little creepy to watch right before bed, but we survived the night. Tags: family, geek, ryan

Formatted my work laptop to Windows 7 Pro on Friday, right after the RTM Build was released to corporate users. While I'm a die-hard Vista fan - not sure why everyone was convinced it was problematic, I ran it for 2 years, and I think it only crashed on me twice... While sure, when it first came out there was limited driver support, and some software incompatibility, those are somewhat expected - but bearing with it for a few months, it got really usable, and incorporated a lot of nice features... 7 has a lot of hype, and people are saying that it's "what Vista should have been" - and in general, I wonder how many of those people really gave it a fair shake, and a little time to attain some vendor support... I don't know that it'd be realistic to let a "fully developed" OS sit on a shelf away from the masses for 6-12 months while all the vendors updated their software/drivers to support the new architecture, but if they release it and not everyone's software works out the gate - the OS becomes a "flop". None of the people/peers that I know that really /use/ Vista - I'm not talking used for a week think it's anything short of excellent, if not a little heavy. After my first weekend with 7 - I'm impressed, but it's not SO much better than Vista that I'm rushing out to buy my own copies to replace my Vista licenses at home... We'll see how it progresses.

Got my google voice invites the other day, and got one setup, which is a pretty slick service. There's nice integration for the Blackberry with it too, so it makes it easier to use. But then, someone pointed out to me that gizmo5.com has setup service sorta like Skype, but it has a portal for GV integration that allows free calling through the gizmo5 service! Even better yet - you can get an ATA phone appliance (converts SIP (voip) to analog phone signals), so you can use a plain old phone with it. I went out on eBay, bought an old Sunrocket ATA for $20, and got it setup and rocking tonight - it works MUCH better than my Magic Jack. Gizmo5 allows unlimited amounts of incoming calling to your ATA device for free, and they appear to only be concerned with outgoing calling for making money. You can make outgoing calls for free, but they're limited to 3 minutes - if you buy a bucket of minutes, you just use those like a prepaid card at $ .02 per minute, but the bucket doesn't expire, you just buy as needed, unlike my cell phone... So now, my google voice number will ring my house, cell and/or office. I have no idea who might want to reach me this badly, but I'm always happy to play with new toys. And - now we have a free land line at home so we can call katie's mom when she's babysitting, since she sometimes forgets to turn on or have her cell phone charged. Tags: geek

It's about 7 weeks since we started SBD, and it's been about 3 weeks since we've full-on fallen off the wagon - but we intend to get back on after 4th of July weekend. Good news:I'm still at about 220lbs, which means I'm still down 9 from when I started, and means I haven't actually gained any weight back since the MB Vacation... So hopefully I'll be in good position to start back. We're headed up to Dad's for the weekend, my aunt, uncle, sister and some of our cousins will be there to celebrate the weekend, and will be back at the end of the weekend. We returned the portable DVD player we bought prior to the MB trip because it choked badly on DVD's after about 2 hours of running, so we got a new one tonight. It's an RCA, so maybe it'll work better, but it doesn't play DIVX, so I'm having to get DVD copies of the movies we have on BluRay. Sims3 is addicting, if I haven't already said that... Oh yea - and I recant my Gripe about Seagate's RMA cost. it's actually 'free' to ship my HD back to them and have them replace it at a snail pace shipping (so >2 weeks with shipping both ways) - cost to me ~$10 for shipping to them. OR, you can pay the $15, ship to them first, and they'll 2-day ship it back - Cost ~$25 and it'll take about a week to get it back. OR you can pay them $20, and they'll ADVANCE ship a replacement via 2-day, AND send a prepaid return label - Cost $20 and I get the replacement in 2 days. It's kind of a no brainer. I got my advanced RMA today, and it only took about 4 hours for the array to rebuild into OK status. I'm pretty astounded, I figured it'd take a day to repair. Tags: geek, sbd, vacation

The boy had a rough night last night - we night he might be coming down sick, he was all sniffly. I rescued a turtle in the road this morning a few houses down from mine out in the middle of the street. Funny how he started moving fast when I started walking up. I took him a good distance off the road, and set him down in some tall grass. Hopefully he stays out of the road! The Sims 3 is really addicting. I was late to work this morning because I stopped to play for a few minutes, that turned into an hour this morning. Seagate sucks, they charge $15 for non-advanced RMA of their hard drives (+20 for advance) -- so, 5 year warranty, but I have to pay to use it. I had one 750 in my raid5 array die, so I really have no choice but to RMA it. I put my old Eclipse on Craigslist - anyone want to buy a non-running 94 eclipse? I've gotten a couple of scammy looking e-ails offering to send me a certified check for it. After a while I decided it can't hurt to say "go for it, send me money" - and see if I get any. I guess I'll sort out how to sell by mail IF i get a check, and IF it's not a counterfeit. Ryan made me a neat picture holder and a really cute/sweet Father's Day card in a workshop at Gymboree and Katie's getting me new grill - I just haven't decided which one yet. Watched a couple of movies this week: Gran Torino last night -- Clint Eastwood will be Dirty Harry until he dies. I thought it was really good, I liked it a lot. Australia -- Really long, but we liked it a lot. A little sad, a little boring at times, but it was really good over all. Tags: geek, movies, ryan

Day 19 Weigh in: 215 I ordered a portable DVD player and a seat-back mounting bag this week, for the trip to MB to keep Ryan entertained. Both were about $120, and it plays DivX/Xvid off of USB and SD Cards. It conveniently accepts SDHC, so I plan on loading movies on an 8GB card (no toting/breaking my DVD collection - and since it doesn't play BluRay, I'd have to find a DVD of 'Cars' anyway), and that should keep Ryan happy. I'm pretty surprised about the quality -- it's just a cheap GPX brand device, but I figure I won't be too grumpy when Ryan pours juice in it, vs spending 3x as much on a really nice one (those don't do divx though). however, it IS pretty nice! The screen could be higher resolution, but it's by no stretch a BAD picture. Off Day yesterday - Woke up yesterday and got new tires on the Camry. Now it drives smooth, so I just need to get the brakes services so it stops smooth too. FINALLY got the lawn mowed - front and back. Still need to wead eat and pull other weeds from around the gardens, but at least the grass isn't 2' tall anymore in some places. Lack of a mower for over 2 weeks, and 2 weeks of rain are a bad combo. Katie's getting set to stay alone here while I'm in Sioux Falls this week, so since Amanda and Brian invited her to stay with them for the week, we had to find out how our dogs interacted. The general plan is that Katie wants to stay here, but if she gets too freaked out, she's going to go there, and take Ryan and Lexi -- the cats will be fine alone for a few days. So we went over to hang out / dinner with them last night. Bella, predictably, wanted to be the Alpha dog, and Lexi, predictably, just wanted to chill and play. Bella asserted her dominance, Lexi cowered and generally was just like "wtf, settle down, ok, I'm going over here now - just stop your bitching". After a while, they learned to coexist, but really not interact at all -- so, they'll be fine, but maybe not best friends. We decided that we'd been /generally/ good at our diets for the last 18 days, and decided to have an all-out cheat night. Taco Mac it was. Queso, Chips, Wings, Fries, and Sandwiches. Sat outside since its a) quieter than inside, and b) it was a beautiful day - if a bit windy and cool. Tags: family, geek, lawn, sbd

Went to the doc yesterday about my bites/allergy or whatever. Though; it had basically stopped happening by yesterday morning. Doc says it's hives (weird, I've never had that before) not bites. So, gave me some meds and told me to be on the alert for allergens. Yay. The lawnmower needs a new battery, dang it. Going to autozone on the way home so I can FINALLY get my grass cut, it's too rediculous right now. I think I need a higher gain splitter on my cable to the bedroom, because the cable modem hasn't been stable since I split off to the bedroom - so I'll try one GOOD splitter before I come have Comcast sort out the nonsense that is my lack of ability to split cable. So, the cable's back out of the bedroom for the time being. We went out to Lawerenceville last night to watch my youngest Burns cousins (Laura and Stephanie) graduate from high school. That officially means that there are no Burns kids in the Gwinnett county system anymore. I always forget how small Central Gwinnett is - they only had about 450 kids graduating, compared with the nearly 1000 in mine. The whole affair took only an hour, and then we went to visit with everyone at their house for a little while. My other cousins Rich and Shona were there too - as they're in town for the graduation, but then off for other destinations in life - Rich is moving to England next week. I'd like to travel at some point, but not sure I'd want to live overseas. Best of luck to all of them in the next leg of their lives. We got home around midnight, and we ALL pretty much crashed -- Ryan being mister energy won't sleep in the car anymore. He just sat in the back babbling and imping for the while 90 minute ride. We're totally going to have to find a cheap car DVD player for the trip to MB; I think Katie will slay someone if he carries on like that for 6+ hours. It's cute for a little while, but then he just gets impy and grumpy, and then it's not so cute. Oh, and I bought a Logitech Bluetooth to IR converter for my PS3 - so now at long last I can retire the last "extra" remote from my entertainment center and command it all from my Harmony! Screw those custom solution guys with their $150 solutions. Maybe I should invest in Logitech, I seem to have enough of their stuff. Tags: family, geek, health, ryan

It rained, my grass grew - I still haven't gotten a belt for the mower yet anyway... Probably will go check with Sears today for what I need. Friday we rented the Golden Compass, but we haven't watched it yet... Too much going on this weekend. Saturday we basically just hung around the house and did some chores; I ran a coax to the bedroom so we could hook cable up to the TV in there. We have "Basic Cable" with our cable modem service and full on HD service with our DirecTV. Since we don't have 3 receivers for the DTV, we decided to just see what we actually get on "Basic Cable" with Comcast. It took the TV about 30 minutes to scan all the digital and analog channels... 34 analog, and 104 digital. 104? Wow! We basically found that we get HD service on the networks (abc, nbc, cbs, fox) and we can get a poop-ton of other channels in SD (boo, no bonus HD out there). The catch is that they're bizarre channel numbers - some are like (can't remember, guessing at them) 82.100-82.120 and then they pick up again later in the channels with 101.10-101.25 or something. So, if you wnat to watch ABC family, you have to remember what channel AND decimal it's assigned to. Good for surfing, not really for finding something specific. Then, probably about 40 of those channels that it found were just "no signal" on them. Saturday night I couldn't sleep, I got eaten up by some kind of bug(s), probably down in the basement or something, and was super itchy. I got tired of counting at about 40 bites, but then couldn't really count them because they all swole up together. So, I was a red and puffy blotchy mess... Took some benadryl, and got knocked out until nearly noon on Sunday. Itchiness came back after lunch, so I took more benadryl, and loaged around the house for the rest of the day while Katie went cleaning and reorganizing happy. She rearranged Ryan's room - we took out his changing table and put it in the basement (does it say on the benedryl box not to do heavy lifting while under the influince?) and I think I about had a heart attack or something. My ears started ringing and I got really nausious. Fortunately, that was the only furniture that had to go downstairs. She put a couple of different bookcases and his toy box in his room, so now that's officially his toy room, but he still has some of his bigger stuff in the den. It really looks like a big-boy's room now... Next step is converting his bad into a toddler bed - we haven't done it yet since he's really showed no interest in climbing out of the crib at all. We missed small group - I think I was busy being passed out from benadryl. I'm at work today with no benadryl , and really no signs of the bites getting less bad, but I don't think they've increased in number either... So, if I get where the benadryl creme doesn't do the job anymore, I might just go home. Tags: geek, health, ryan

Yesterday I finally went back to the doc for my June '08 followup on my blood pressure. I was a bit late in doing that... Invited Clifford to yell at me, so he spoke sternly to me about my health and that I need to not die for the sake of Katie and Ryan. Though, I've lost about 20lbs since he weighed me last May, so he gave me some encouragement on that front. My BP is still a little high, so he wants me to try to lose 10 more lbs in the next 3 months. For some of that, we wants me on a very small dose of BP meds that we're going to experiment with for the next few weeks. Donnie called. said the car was done, so we went and picked that up. It sounds good as new - so that seems like money/credit well spent for now. Hopefully will get my money back from the stupid Amazon UK people so I can replenish the emergency fund (which didn't cover this particular expense completely, but helped significantly to avoid using the CC) - so Dave Ramsay's system DOES work, if you follow it... Hung out with Brian and Amanda last night - they made us burgers and wieners, got Brewsters, and then drove around Acworth looking at houses in a new neighborhood. It's always fun going over there and just hanging out. Ryan likes playing with Brian and Amanda, too - so it's a good time for everyone. My 4-port RAID card came in on Thursday with the Hot-Swap drive bays, so I set that up on Thursday night. The 8-port came in on Friday - same card, more ports. I was excited to find out that changing the card didn't break the array so I would have to rebuild it. It acted like nothing happened. Cool. I accidently won 2 cards on e-bay, a 4 and an 8 port. I really wanted the 8, so the 4-port's back on eBay now. Spec: 3ware 9550SX-8LP RAID controller with an iStarUSA BPU-350SATA 5x3.5" hot-swap drive cage. 4x750GB Seagate Drives in RAID5, totaling out at just over 2TB. Windows 2008 server So now I should be able to retire an assortment of 80 and 100G drives... Tags: fix it, geek, health

Not a lot going on this week. Ryan's on antibiotics for his strep and ear infection for a few more days. Katie went to the doc on Thursday, and got a negative strep screening, despite a sore throat. Now I'm getting the sore throat, but only at night and early in the morning. Lots of juice and Emergen'C for me to try and knock out whatever's in there. Work was kinda crazy this week, our facilities director was down cleaning up the call center building and preparing it to be closed down and start showing to sublease tenants. The amount of crap that was in there was amazing. Looks like we're going to give away a lot of old computers to employees, and (thank goodness) she's going to have professional movers come pack up and move the 60 some odd other computers that are going up to the corporate office. Now begins the process of documenting all of the stuff that I'm going to have trashed/destroyed, and the stuff to be donated so we can write it all off the books. There should be some cool stuff that I might be able to get from there. I'm feeling tense at work - I hate not knowing what the future is of my office. People have made comments that they don't expect my office to stay open past the end of the year, but at the same time, they've filled up every cube, corner, and office with bodies. There's even a closet that's now an office... Either way, I've got my resume out there a small handful of places, but I'm just not comfortable with the resume itself. I need to get Katie or someone to make it pretty and stuff; I've never been good at making a resume. Of course, the other possibility is that I DO find another job, and then they lay people off... I guess you can't really live for what 'might' happen, eh? Live for today? ... I've finally decided to build my RAID 5 server, since I realize that I pretty much have everything I need already, just missing a couple of things. So, I'll be rounding that stuff up soon, and I'll have to reformat my hodgepodge server from XP to 2003, and then move the data off the various drives in it over to the new array. Also decided to take another shot at using Linux. I've setup Ubuntu 8.10 on my personal laptop, and everything including wireless works out of the box. I've been using that for a couple of days now, and am liking it a lot - it's giving me a chance to brush up on my Linux skill (which was limited to CLI only, and very limited at that before anyway). Thought about using that as my RAID server platform, but I'm not thinking I'll be comfortable enough for that by the time I'm ready to build. Movie off The List: Underworld - I guess I never get tired of Vampire movies; looking forward to watching the sequel, but - the third one? We'll see. Tags: family, geek, the list, work

Ryan's having fevers off and on for the last few days, and being grumpy in the night -- we think its that his canines coming in... Stupid teething. Both my mom and my mother-in-law's computers putzed out last week, so I spent parts of my 5-day weekend fixing/replacing stuff in those - but I think I finally have both back in working order. Now I just need to get them back to their respective homes. We went and saw the Shopahilic movie on Sunday for Valentine's (Yes, a day late - we didn't want to hassle with the crowds on Saturday)... It was cute, and I actually found it funny at times too. Work's been increasingly busy, which is good. We had a scare (self inflicted) when we heard that some SVP's were coming to Atlanta Weds and Thursday. Seems like the last few times they've come down they left behind a few pink slips. So -- I got panic'd last night, and started looking for a job again. Made my Monster profile, and a few others. Sent in a few resumes... Makes me nervous - I have never really had to look for a job in my field before. I had a foot in at my current workplace, and all my growth/promotion has been internal - so I just haven't been put through that ringer yet. I got a cold call this morning from a recruiter that found my Monster profile. I didn't have time to call him back from work today, and then forgot later. Not good, I guess. I think I know what job he's calling about, and it's neither up my alley, nor is it even paying what I've even making now. So, I'll try to give that dude a call tomorrow. I think as a manager that's always getting cold calls from recruiters pushing to get people hired, I have a personal annoyance with them. I guess I need to get past that. Anyway, sidetracked... It was a false alarm, they were in town for a big sales meeting with our whole sales force. Guess flying 3 down here was cheaper than sending 7 up there. The job hunting ball is rolling now - it's probably time anyway. I'm getting tired of not knowing if they're going to close my office. I realize another company is just as risky, so I figure at this point in time I can afford to be picky, and hold out for something that's worth the risk to take. Started reading The Stand on Wednesday or Thursday or something last week. I'm back in an old school Stephen King trend. Got The Green Mile queued up after that, but it will probably take me a while to finish the 1200 whatever page tome. Though, it's quickly sucking me in, so maybe it won't be too long...

Happy Birthday! To my mom. Katie and Ryan are sick right now though, so we didn't venture out to see her today, but hopefully we can next weekend. The weekend's been kinda long -- with the family sick, we didn't really do anything. I have been around trying to hold up the fort while trying to let Katie rest. I think I've dodged the bug sofar, whatever it is... Katie's hoarse and has a sore throat and a slight fever, lots of coughing. The Boy is coughing a bit (not as much today as yesterday) and has a snot fountain going most of the time. We have not observed a fever in him yet, but we're keeping an eye out. A week or so ago, Katie gave Ryan a Hot Wheels car of mine that she found on my desk or something -- he's fallen in love with the little metal cars now, and now somewhat snobs his chunkier baby-safe Tonka cars... He's since convinced us to buy him another Hot Wheels car (He picked out a pretty Red '84 Ferrari) earlier this week. While they're Age 3+ toys, he really plays well with them, doesn't try to eat them, etc - so we just keep a closer eye on him when he's playing with them... He likes to take a toy to bed with him nowadays, and it's usually a fight not to let him take the metal chunks to bed, we have to trade them out for something a little more baby-friendly. Today, I needed to go pick up a few groceries, so Ryan and I went down to Walmart. After picking up our needed supplies and a new headlight bulb for the Camry - It's been one-eyed for a week now - we went over to hang out in the Toy Section. I love the toy section... Ryan's a car fiend, and there's an aisle basically dedicated to cars - how convenient. He went nutso! He was reaching for everything, chanting "Car! Car! Car!" and shreiking a little in I think just sheer overload. I love watching him get excited, it's so much fun. He immediatly adopted 3 new Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. I let him pick out a few, and I have to say I liked his choices, given that evidently at some point in time hotwheels decided making normal cars was boring, and they needed to make them "pimped out" or just cartooney with giant wheels, or painted with bizarre prints. He pickout a blue Aston Marton, a Blue Evo X, and a Black Porsche GT3. He also wanted a big noisey police car that he managed to snag off the shelves, but fortunately it was broken enough that it wasn't too hard to get away from him without a scene. I really want some breed of big remote control car now... One of the VP's in my office sold me a Logitech G25 Racing steering wheel for $100, brand new in the sealed box. He bought one for him and one for his brother for Christmas., Bro sold his PS3 before opening it on Christmas, so he couldn't use it. He got his brother something else, and was stuck with an extra G25 that he "just wanted to get rid of". I'll take that. I wanted one of these for a while, but wasn't about to pay $300-400 for it. They're down to about $250 now, but I think Logitech's about to disco it. It's really freaking nice, leather wheel, 6-speed H-pattern stickshift, gas/brake/clutch pedals. Tried playing GTR Evolution (anyone know any good driving simulators out there currently) since it seemed to be a pretty realistic sim. Even with the wheel, it's dang hard. Played some NFS Undercover with it too, but I'm getting bored with that game at this point. I also hope I can use the pedals with my flight yoke. Who says I can't have a cockpit with a wheel, yoke, and a 6-speed? Got the first DLC pack for Fallout 3, need to find time to play that. Darn it all!  Yesterday I went to open it just like I always do, and it snapped right off... Now there's miniscule piece that I can use to open the door. Evidently, after reading around on the interweb, this seems to be not too uncommon a problem for the 97-01 Camrys, so replacement door handles are not hard to find, even pre-painted, for about $30 shipped. I got mine ordered, hope it ships tomorrow. Looks like a reasonabe effort to replace, but should only take a couple of hours I think. Katie and I watched Slumdog Millionaire this weekend - me for the second time. I still like it a lot, but it's just not Earth shattering to me. I do really hope it takes some Oscars, but is it Best picture worthy? We'll see. Moveis off the list: Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 and 3 - I like Eddie Murphy. I think they could have skipped making the 3rd one, but the first two were fun 80's movies. Bolt - Meh. It was cute, and well done, and pretty, but the story just didn't really have enough 'adult' stuff to it. Other Pixar movies have a little something for the whole family which make them enjoyable to watch with everyone. Ryan loved watching "Puppy, Kitty!", but there just wasn't enough to hold my attention. Tags: fix it, geek, ryan, the list

This is only for the geeks like me... Did you ever forget specific information about your PC? CPU (model, core, speed, etc), Motherboard (model, version, BIOS info, etc) RAM (speed, Manufacturer, CAS, etc). This is a handy tool: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.phpIt's a prog called CPU-Z -- it in a matter of seconds checks all of this stuff, and tell you a lot of detail. helpful when you're looking at adding RAM, and can't remember what speed you installed last...
