Yesterday evening when I came home Michael had the whole lawn mowed. It looks great. Then he made dinner, chicken and veggie kabobs on the grill, yum! He also did laundry and said he would do any other cleaning that needed to be done today. Gosh I’m a lucky girl.

Debian reinstall, the lawn and we met a very small person!
Last night I reinstalled Debian. I really wish I had taken notes last time I installed the system, since I’m going nuts trying to remember all the packages required to install the real nvidia drivers. Why reinstall? I had two 80 gig drives in my system (Windows 40G, vfat 40G, Linux 80G), and we needed […]
The “race” to see my place
Michael and I moved into our house in January of 2004. His mother saw it the day we moved in, his father and brother finally saw it this summer. No one in my family has seen it. I’ve had a few aunts and uncles say they’d stop by while in the area. My mother drove […]
Cat collars and power outages
I’ve had better weekends. I got a lot of website work done, but I felt like a captive trapped in the upstairs Sunday. The heat was just as oppressive as Saturday, the only thing we did downstairs all day Sunday was make and eat dinner, after which I was all sweaty and had to go […]
Just another entry complaining about the heat
This is now officially the hottest summer I’ve ever lived through. Maine certainly never got this hot. I don’t do well in the heat, but over the past few years I’ve gotten better. Yesterday was a bad one though. Most of the day I did ok, was doing work on some things, hiding in the […]
DVDs in Linux on a Friday Night
Our plans for Friday evening were ruined by the heat, so instead we ate some DiGiorno Pizza and chilled out with our computers upstairs in the A/C. I needed a project. I’ve had this DVD-ROM sitting on my desk for over a month. and gave it to us last month (thanks!) because we didn’t have […]
Cellphonebook
I was adding ‘s cellphone number to my phone (just in case we decide to go clubbing in Philly sometime) when I realized that out of the 14 “Friends” listed in my phone I used IRC nicks for 9 of them. To be fair, 2 of them use their “real names” in IRC, so perhaps […]
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
Dear 4th heat wave of the summer, I hate you. – Lyz
Mellow
My printer has been very crankie today, keeps getting paper jams. This happens about once a month, it’ll have a day where it jams with every 5th sheet. It’s a good thing I’m in a mellow mood today. I’ve been in a mellow mood all week. I think it’s just contentment. I felt great after […]
Site Launch and the rest of my weekend
I had a productive weekend. Michael was gone friday evening and most of the day Saturday, so I had a lot of computer alone time. I spent it working on 13thHour.net. My idea was to get wordpress up and running as a “blog/news” front page of the site, and then using that same theme to […]
