KLOL went to KRAP
I got upset when I was listening to a sister station on the AM dial “Talk Radio 950 KPRC” and the guy on there said that across the hall is where 101 is and now he has to hear music he does not understand. I switched over and found out the horrible truth. Ozzy, Metallica, …

Firefox is 1.0
I don’t know about you but I plan to start using it asap to see how the whole version number handles. I almost never use Internet Explorer now except for the Windows Update.

A day off
Looks like I get a day off tomorrow for a holiday. I do wish it was a day off on Friday but Thursday can work. Speaking of working, I am hoping to dig a trench along the whole fence line in the back yard and pour concrete in it. So far our three dogs have …

kiosking around
One of the many things on my plate is trying to get a Linux-based kiosk working for where I work. I have to get it stable then lock it down but make it still useable. I plan to use Firefox as the browser as it works rather well in Windows and Linux. I wanted to …

Over at First Community Bank we are opening up a third location in San Antonio. Right now I am using the internet connection in the hotel I am staying at. We plan to go back to Houston tomorrow afternoon but the time depends on when we finish. Anyway, I am going to watch some tv …

Birthday parties
This past weekend I went to a birthday party for my Great Niece, Marcie. It was at a gymnastics center kind of place. Normally I just BS with whoever is around but this party I got a chance to hit the springboard and go into a pit of cube-shaped foam type things. I found it …

I can be boring…but not always
I have noticed that when some of the people I know write blog entries they seem to have pages to say. I don’t think I have ever been able to put into words all of what I think, so mine tend to be a bit shorter if not redundant in nature. It has always been …

Guitars and all that rot?
You know, it has been a little while since I have brought out my guitar and attempted to learn it more. My problem is that I am left handed when it comes to playing a guitar and nobody I know, that plays, is left handed so learning how does not get easier. Maybe when I …

Authentication methods…
A question was presented to me today regarding authentication methods for Windows 2000 servers(and *nix ones) across the Internet so only one login is necessary. While I think there are a few fielded answers, finding one to implement that is secure is not necessarily easy. RADIUS was proposed but Windows 2000 I am not sure …

Easy to forget
It does seem easy for me to forget and update this blog. Oh well, I am doing it today. Right now I am still up at work fixing a database problem. OT here we come…heh. Anyway, I cannot wait until the weekend. I have been having trouble sleeping lately and so Saturday’s have been when …

Dogs…
To start off with, my wife has had a Black Lab dog since before we met and when we finally got a back yard when moving into a house, the dog came along for the ride. Recently my wife and I got two puppies. Needless to say the older dog kinda was upset about all …

She’s ALIVE…again
I finally got my Win2k Server running again. I got a storage repository again. w00t… I still have it sitting on the bench though making sure it works fine before I hold the heavy-assed thing in the air with one arm and screw it back into the rack(yes, the case is rack-mountable). Once this one …

Bowling results
My fingers still hurt from bowling 7+ games in 3 hours. I cannot say that I did bad last night as my highest score was 135. Not too bad for not being a regular bowler and not bowling since last year. Below are my scores not specifically in order: 135 135 121 105 106 99 …

Bowling….
Tonight my nephew Charlie and I are going bowling. We plan to go from about 11p to 2a or so. It will be rather fun I hope. I think I will hurt tomorrow though because we usually play the whole time without stopping.

Learning more and more…
Time has not been kind to me. I have to soon find time to get my Windows 2000 server going again and I plan to rebuild my Unix server that is running FreeBSD. I might wait until the 5.x series goes to stable if it has not already. It really depends on my mood of …

Birthday
I know of this annual thing called a birthday and imagine that mine seems to be today…or at least that is what my parents tell me… I could have a birthday on Feb. 29 and only age every 4 years…well, it would be nice if it worked that way but it does not seem to. …

Yes I know…
I know it has been a while since I updated this thing. Life has gotten in the way so very much since then. I will try to update this more often but that is something I cannot promise. Anyway, just so you all know, I still work at First Community Bank in Houston. I still …
