I can take it or leave it Wonderful phrase this morning which sums up so much of life. Posso is a hard word for me. It means “I can” but for some reason the fact that it sounds like “possible” meant that often I would use it that way when in Italy. I know the …
I have converted two laptops over to Ubuntu. The first is the one the kids use. It was trivial to get this working; popped in the CD and it installed without issue. I wound up blowing the initial install away while trying to re-partition the drive. Otherwise things were fine, I got Edgy Eft installed. …
My sister is having a baby Hm…. I don’t think that one works out literally. Incinta is pregnant, so my sister is pregnant seems like a better translation.
Like many people I used Google’s search engine and a few other services. Some of the services are wonderful (GMail), some are pretty sad (Froogle). Some are just downright terrible.

The toughest part of course was taking the time to go to Zurich;excitement was high, I thought I had a 90% chance …
Small update today to fix up the permalinks. Mike was chiding me about the ugly /?p=123 style links. Here is the challenge though — apparently you need to run with an .htaccess file. But this only works on Apache and not with Windows IIS. I don’t have a solution to make the URL completely pretty …
Don’t forget your umbrella Good advice indeed. After setting a record high temperature yesterday today it is grey and rainy. Spring weather that is. Thankfully I got in a nice long ride yesterday. I rode almost 75 miles, most of it with Dave. If that doesn’t count as a great day then I don’t know …
