Furniture
This past weekend Michael and I did some furniture shopping. With my new job I’ll be telecommuting 80-90% of the time, which meant that we had to re-arrange the house a bit. Right now Michael and I share an office, he telecommutes 60% of the time and I work in an office, which is fine, […]
R4
I drive a 2003 Toyota Rav4, as seen here: It’s a good truck, doesn’t get bad gas mileage for what it is, and with the good tires on it (and the appropriate amount of caution and experience) I don’t have trouble in adverse weather conditions. But it was a lease, set to expire next month. […]
Pizza and Fondue
Last night Michael made pizzas. As I’ve said before, it’s tough to get good pizza here in PA. There are a few decent places to go, but none of them are close to my house. I’ve tolerated the local pizza but complained often. I was all supportive when Michael began to test his own dough […]
Another entry about Simcoe and Caligula
OK, you’re probably getting sick of these entries now ;) But I just have one more before getting back to regularly scheduled blogging. Caligula and Simcoe are starting to get along, last night they even sat near each other on the couch and fell asleep while we had some friends over. Yesterday Michael updated the […]
The Vet
I just got home from the vet with Simcoe. She did not enjoy the visit, I heard her meows from the back as they were taking blood – ouch! She tested negative for FIV, but is suffering from an upper respiratory infection. OH NO AN UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION!!! Actually it’s just a cold, quite common […]
Simcoe is home!
Last night I drove up to Allentown to pick up Simcoe. The woman who breeds them was very nice and lived in a nice house. She breeds the Siamese “for fun” (they don’t have papers) and Cairn Terriers as show dogs, she introduced me to her grand champion male Cairn Terrier – he was a […]
Kitten Day!
As I mentioned about a month ago we’re getting a female Siamese kitten. Well, the day has finally arrived! Tonight Michael and I are making the trek up to Allentown to pick up the newest addition to our family. I’m so excited. I’ll be sure to take a zillion pictures.
New job!
I got a new job! Goodbye Corporate Accounts Payable, hello Debian systems administration, bookkeeping and working with clients. Yay! For the uninitiated, I got out of working with computers full time as a job about 2.5 years ago because the local economy became less than friendly to web developers and people without direct professional experience […]
Women in FOSS, WnG podcast, sore neck and TV
I’ve been busy and not reallly in the mood for writing. First, to follow up with the previous post about the Ubuntu-Women meeting. We had the meeting and I’d say it was a fantastic success. spearheaded organizing these meetings and really took the reins when it came to directing the meetings. She’s a wonderful asset […]
