Online RSS Aggregators

Since I am not just journaling from home anymore, I decided I want to try out some of the online RSS aggregator sites out there, so I can access them from anywhere. I browsed through the newsgator site, and signed up for bloglines (haven’t played with it much though). What do other people use?

Bed & Breakfast plans

Last week we finally recieved our coupons for the Stash Tea Bed & Breakfast Offer. We learned about the offer last year when we went on vacation and stayed at a B&B that was part of the promotion. You buy 3 boxes of Stash Tea, send them in with $3.95, and they send you a […]

One year of Caligula, Ubuntu mplayer, and MST3K

Caligula is feeling better. And today marks our one year anniversary with him! We brought him home from Pharo’s Best Cattery on March 13th, 2004. Then Now He’s such a great cat %) Last night we went out with , , Barry and Rae for dinner and to see Robots. Robots was decent, if I […]

Caligula and Ubuntu

Last night Caligula seemed to be feeling better, when friends came over for movie night he came out and slept in the livingroom to be with everyone instead of hiding in the closet. Then he spent the night on the couch in front of the fireplace. This morning he was still very tired, but he […]

Caligula’s vet visit

Last night we took Caligula to the vet. They wanted a relatively fresh stool sample, so I cleaned out his litter box on Tuesday evening, assuming he’d go again before Thursday night. Nope! As disgusting as it is, I ended up grabbing old Tuesday litter bag out of the trash and getting an older “sample” […]

Veggie burgers and installing Ubuntu

For years Michael and I just ate the same veggie burgers, Flame Grilled Boca Burgers. Boca tries to be like real beef, complete with “grill marks” on some. They fall short of this (meat eaters tend to run away screaming), but I like them. But after eating the same ones every week I was starting […]

Weather

Yesterday it got up to 65 degrees F. When I left work I said: “Haha! And it’ll probably snow tomorrow!” I shouldn’t joke like that. IT’S SNOWING.

R2Q5 and MythTV

My salad was definitely not enough for lunch, I’m still hungry, it’s going to be a long afternoon. At least this time I carried the dressing separate so it didn’t get all soggy. I got quite a bit of computer time this weekend, so much that I had to consult my “To Do” list to […]

Gimp 2.2, schwenksville, and the failed quiche

Lots of things have changed since gimp went 2.0 and beyond. At first I said “oh neat” and then when I started using 2.0, then 2.2 a few things jumped out at me that were really good or really annoying. I thought I’d use it for a couple weeks and see if it’s just my […]

Sisters

I called Annette last night, since it was her 16th birthday. She wanted to go out and get mexican food at her favorite restaurant with a friend, but I guess it was too far away and my mother didn’t want to drive there. They went to McDonalds instead, poor thing. That’s worse than my 16th […]
