I was asked the other day if I’m still using the Cr-48 that I’ve now had for over a month. I sure am, it’s been interesting seeing where it’s landing in my mobile computing environment. Since it’s just a web browser + basic shell for ssh I’ve been primarily using it for writing blog entries […]

Caligula teeth, Buena Vista, Streetcars, V-Day, Interview and Puerto Rico
February 16th, 2011 by pleia2
On Saturday morning we finally dropped Caligula off at the vet for his teeth cleaning. The bad news: His teeth were very bad, worse than the vet had anticipated. 3 of his 4 canines had to be removed and he’d already lost 3 of his lower incisors! Poor guy! The good news: Dental disease like […]
Misc computers, books, television and travel

It’s been a few more days with the new Cr-48 and I’ve really developed quite a fondness for it, but there are a few nagging issues. I switched back to regular mode when I noticed that in developer mode it wasn’t sleeping properly and I had done most of the poking around that I wanted […]
Linux kernel on my TV and Nook, earthquake, Caligula and Ubuntu-Debian meetup
January 18th, 2011 by pleia2
It’s hard to believe January is over half over already, it feels like just yesterday that MJ and I were walking home from the NYE fireworks! Work has been busy, but I’ve learned a lot in the past couple weeks about debugging problems with multihoming in Linux and how the packets move around with IPSec. […]
2010
January 6th, 2011 by pleia2
Philadelphia (from Camden) 2010 began with New Years in Philadelphia with MJ, on his final visit before my move, and our friend Nita. I then had my final weeks in the Philadelphia area. This final Philadelphia winter turned out to be the snowiest winter in recorded history. What a send off! In February my apartment […]
Under the sink organization
January 4th, 2011 by pleia2
I have to admit, going out and doing things all the time hasn’t left us a lot of time to get down to getting the condo done, we still have boxes around and there are a few major tasks we need to complete before we can call it “done” (as “done” as any home ever […]

Christmas at the Zoo and Oakland Museum Pixar Exhibit
December 27th, 2010 by pleia2
Thanks to holidays both MJ and I had Friday off from work. We took a leisurely start to the day and headed over to the Metreon to grab some lunch to enjoy overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens. For a park that is just a block from where we live we don’t go nearly enough. We came […]
Since Thanksgiving I have…
December 12th, 2010 by pleia2
Upon returning from New England, where I spent Thanksgiving, I fell victim to a horrible cold that left me feeling pretty awful for about 3 days (thank goodness I work from home, I took some naps but didn’t need to call out entirely), and had a long tail that stretched on for 10 days. It […]

Pizza, Oakland Museum and the rest of my week
October 7th, 2010 by pleia2
On Saturday morning I had the sad task of dropping MJ off at the airport so he could fly off to a conference this week. This week has gone painfully slow as a result, but Saturday we’ll be meeting at the Philadelphia airport to take a flight together to Dublin, I’m so excited! Late Saturday […]

Birthday zoo visit and waffle
October 4th, 2010 by pleia2
As mentioned in my last post, I took the opportunity on my birthday to take the afternoon off from work and head down to the San Francisco Zoo for a delightful afternoon of animal watching (and even got a Happy Birthday wish from the zoo!). My first stop was to see the meerkats, since I […]
