Oh man Its been a while since I've been here. My kitty passed away a few weeks ago. The hard drive in my laptop did the same a few weeks before that. There have been way too many deaths this year. 2 pets and 3 friends and one device.

On another note Jan & Ginny will be going to tour Ireland for a Month come August 27th. Ginnys maiden name is McCarthy. And she want to go visit where her family immigrated from. This would be interesting to see. She has a New England accent. I can just see her and the locals trying to understand each other.

"I am the black sheep of a family of black sheep"
by Alea

"wherever mom went she always met someone she knew or someone new."
by Lance

"Shirley was always either learning something from someone or teaching them something"

It's been a long week and a half

Sunday Some friends took us out to roadhouse grill.

As a side note. It's always a wonderful prank to tell the waitress that its somebody's birthday behind their back. They get to be embarrassed by the waitstaff needlessly. And at some places you score a free dessert.


Monday, Bob's Mom died. Her funeral was on Thursday.

Sigh, what a week. It's seen friends go into and come out of The hospital and jail. Sorry, the was probably confusing. I mean one friend in each. Not several friends in both.

Well, Last night we shut down our main web server. It had been running for 8 years. In that time it ate 1 hard drive and one video card. It had moved to various locations and was on various connections. ISDN, sDSL, an ATM, and a couple different T1's. But, by and large it was on and serving data for the entire time. it was a lowly 450Mhs Powermac G4 server. We were horrendously busy this week transferring all the sites up to a new unmanaged server at a data center back east sitting on a pair of OC2's Thats like 48 T1's I think. The cost of the new server is just 10% of what we were paying for services to operate the old server on a single T1.
