Seeker’s Peektures yet again…

Jessica wanted to be notified every time someone left a comment. It took me a little while to find the hack for it as I was unable to find a legit way to get it working. Below is the code that needed to be inserted into the add_comment.php file. It had to be added right …

Seeker’s Peektures

I have created another gallery site. It is not for me of course but for my Niece, Jessica. Here is the link: http://seeker.smock.com/ It is on my smock.com domain until we get theuncle.com moved over to a host that allows Gallery. She has of course taken full advantage of the gallery and has loads of …

Marriage…

Well, according to my calculations it is a little over three months until I get married. I would say that it is a weird thing about me getting married but my woman might be reading…err, whoops…heh. Anyway, I cannot wait until it is all said and done. I am not meaning that in a bad …

Too much to do…not enough time…

I have noticed that my time has gotten horribly limited these past few years. Between work and a personal life, which I am glad to have both, I don’t often have time to tinker or even be lazy. Oh well, I guess it just happens and according to my Dad, builds character. heh…

Birthdays all around

Well, my father had one on the 8th of this month. My Niece had one this past Saturday on the 20th. Mine is on the 23rd. I think I have a couple of other relatives that have it during September. I will be 25 this year. Time does go by rather fast. Oh well, it …

Spirit investigations

I am thinking of trying to get in touch with the people of lonestarspirits.org and see if they maybe need any help. Paranormal activity is an interest of mine and has been for a while. Anyway, time to get ready to go home. Later…

Busy, So busy…

I have been a bit busy as of late or I would have posted more this week. I did add a few pictures to http://jacob.smock.com/ but mostly I have been hard at work and fixing computers for people. This weekend I have to bring a computer back to the Church that I do side work …

Marriage and the like…

Well, the invite list is almost finalized. That is a sigh of relief as it has been a pain to get all of the names/address together for the list. I assume this wedding thing will be an interesting and fun(scary) step in my life. One thing I do know is that many people seem surprised …

Tired…but ready to do battle

Man am I tired. Today just dragged on with no sign of ending. I have been playing more with FreeBSD on one of my servers. Not much mind you but enough to get used to it a bit. I may know Linux a lot and that does migrate over rather well but things tend to …

Army of Darkness

I have to say when it comes to movies with good one-liners, ‘Army of Darkness’ starring Bruce Campbell, is one of the best there is. I doubt any movie will ever replace my favorite, which is Ghostbusters, but AoD might be up there in the ranks. I paused it a few minutes so I could …

Computer habit I curse thee!

Seems that every time I look around I see another computer part or electronic gadget that I want. Too bad the money situation is not healthy or I would be gathering them all to my fold. I am getting restless so I might end up reinstalling Linux on Floyd(my Linux box) and Windows 2000 Server …

Of shows and seasons

I cannot say I watch a lot of TV shows but the few I do watch are hopefully going to be showing new episodes again soon. As I do not have anything more than regular TV stations I am not graced with the expense of cable or satellite programming. That is not necessarily a bad …

Travis’ Graduation

Well, it was interesting to go and watch him walk across the stage. Not used to being on the watching side of this ritual. I do know that the Texas Representative that did the commencement speech was boring to listen to. Afterward we all went to a Church that he goes to over in Huntsville, …

Visiting family

What a night. I went to visit my Grandpa so I could wish him a Happy Birthday and ended up talking politics with one of my aunts and a cousin until around midnight. It was fun though. Needless to say I got to sleep late.

Grandpa’s Birthday

Well, my Grandfather will be 80 on August 8th, 2003. I plan to go over there today and visit for a little while.

Little Mikey

Here is a picture of one of my nephews at 2 months. All I know is that I need to visit him more before he goes off to college. 😉 View image

Ready for the weekend

Wow, I finally got Movable Type going and it is getting time for the weekend. On Saturday afternoon or so I plan to go with my gf to my sister’s house to fix her computer. I know I am a softie sometimes. Unless something comes up, which usually happens, I plan to tear down one …
