Family Day

Yup, it's Family Day.

Ceri had to work.
Alex is at work.
Tori is skating.
I am cleaning the office.

Happy Family Day.

Ally's Comin' Home

Tori can't wait. Going to pick her up Thursday after work. Fighting traffic all the way. Good thing the Pacifica has a brand new shiny tie rod. Drives like a brand new old car.

Hope Alex likes her room!

Tori's Tug

Just another day in grade two.
The Challenge:

Build a boat that can carry 100 pennies

The answer, Tori's Tug. Yes, built as most sea faring vessels are today, with empty water bottles. Fashioned together with big green tie-wraps, and topped with a canvas sail made from canvas (who knew?) and pencils.

She did Good!

iTunes DJ

It is just so cool. Loved it earlier on V i n y l N i g h t, love it now on BtN

Virtualisation

Playing around with openvz on our home linux server. Even though the server is an ages old Pentium III with 386 MB RAM, openvz installs easily. It is along the lines of Free BSD comtainers, and Solaris Zones as opposed to VMware or XenServer. Will post more on this later, along with a mini 'how to' once I get WebVZ up an running. WebVZ is a ruby on rails GUI for openvz.

Smelly Paint

OK, Alex wil be home from Trent in a few weeks, so we thought we better decorate her new room. The new room being Victoria's old one. First thing s first, we have to cover up the stripes that we did for Victoria. A good thing since we never actually finished them. We picked up the paint, and tinted primer, that we were told we would need.

So, we are putting on the primer and I say to myself, 'This ain't red'. So I do some more. I say, 'Yep, this so ain't red'. Oh well, will paint red on it tomorrow. And, this 'Eco Paint' stinks. Really stinks.

Dinner Club

Had a wonderful dinner at Frankenbeths the other night (09.01.10). Just fantastic. Looks like the next dinner is set for 20.02.10. After that, holy crap, it's ours to host. Gotta think of a theme, something ... anything?
