Inspired by Andreas I took the OS personality test:
I like PalmOS, I have a Tungsten C although I was a PocketPC person between 2001 and 2003 (actually used both a PPC and a Palm between 1999 and 2001).
It is my fathers birthday today!
Morning all appreciated colleagues in the weblogging business!
Yesterday Jennifer told us that the ants we had on the porch were actually horse ants, the Nordic termite. Oh no, my house is going to fall to pieces. I sent an email to my insurance company and right after 8 this morning they called me up. Had a quick talk with them and they referred me to Anticimex, an the exterminator (Arnie is that you?) will come on Thursday afternoon. I just hope they won’t have to use strong chemicals that will prevent us from being there or even prevent us from not allowing Tovah to be outside. It is summer….
Breakfast time and after that we are heading down town. We are going to buy wick for J’s new oil lamp, go to the employment service, eat lunch (Waldorf perhaps?), buy some clothes for J and other things I cannot think of right now.
Here are misc images from March to May 2003. 109 images in total. Have fun looking through them.
I have gotten accustomed to reading other people’s blogs and it isn’t just random blogs but I follow about 15 blogs, mainly written by fellow Swedish bloggers. I feel like I get to know these bloggers very well. You know what they do, what they like, what they eat, what they hate etc. etc. I especially enjoy Andreas, Niklas, and Malin, but there ar emany more…
I have one question though, what do you call the writers? Friends? I have never really met them and friends is something mutual, right? I mean, I don’t know if they like my writing and I have definitively never met them (with one exception, Tina).
Anybody have any suggestions?
I have had a nice day together with J, T and Jennifer. We have eaten good food and had a water war in the garden. Tovah especially liked the latter and she was running around as mad chasing us. I must admit that I helped her a bit and the scary pants (:-) Jennifer hid behind my camera so I would throw water on her. Just wait until next time Jennifer 🙂
Lunch was a chili made from smoked falu-sausage, bacon, kidney beans and chick peas together with rice and for dessert we had American cheese cake.
After lunch J, T and Jennifer went for a bike ride, during which I got time to sort some digital photos. This had not been done since march 2003. Bad boy Peter. It is actually nice to wait a bit as memories have been lost and you get nice reminders from looking at all the photos. As I wrote earlier today, our trip to Orlando was really nice.
Jennifer left around 18.20 together with Rolf (after a short visit) for a dinner at Rickard’s place. Hey, Rikard you still owe me a dinner 🙂
For dinner I had Tom Yam soup, Johanna had sandwiches and Tovah had gruel. After dinner we quickly cleaned up the kitchen. It is nice to not have anything to clean up when you go to bed later. A nice clean kitchen in the morning is something I recommend to everybody.
Right now me and Johanna are sitting in the kitchen, J is sorting here stones and beads (to make necklaces from) and I have just finished sorting photos taken from March to Maj 2003. T is half asleep in the sofa watching Winnie the Pooh. It is nice to have the family home again. I have been very lucky, very lucky indeed!!!
And here are my photos from Orlando May 2003. 365 photos in total, primarily from Disney World.
Here are some misc photos from July 2003 (and the first days of August).
The rest of the photo album…
I am sitting here sorting pictures from my last trip to Orlando and Disney World and I cannot stop thinking that we had a great time there. It was so much to do all the time and we had many laughs. We have to go back there soon again.
Woke up around 06.30 from thunder and heavy rain. The thunder was really close and you could feel the massive sound from it in the bed. The power of nature…
Around 06.50 I picked up my Tungsten C and wanted to check my email but there wasn’t any network to the rest of the world. Oh, well. During thunder things usually break, but normally it is on the other end, at the university. That was not the case today. After we got up and showered I started looking for the error and found that the 16 port switch on the second floor had stopped working on the auto-uplink port. A quick switch to a 5-port brother solved that part, got a link light but still no conectivity to the rest of the world. Hmm, let us verify the 8-port hub downstairs. No link light to the switch upstairs. That port on the hub was broken as well and I moved the cable to another port on the hub and it all started working. Verified the 16-port switch and yes it was broken. Called Netgear and I am getting a new one, again. This is will be the second time it is replaced with a new one.
Everything felt OK and finally I could eat my breakfast. Half way through Johanna wonders where Jennifer is and she heds up to check her email. “Gubben, I have no net.” Hmm, I have net on the other computer but not on hers. Some detective work shows that the ethernet card on her computer is broken and after a quick swap her computer is up and running again. Update the DHCP server to give her the right IP-number. All great.
Hmm, perhaps I should fix Tina’s blog so the RSS-feed gives the full entry? Hmm, I cannot change anything on her blog. Log in as Tina. HUH, she doesn’t have any permissions at all on her blog besides posting new entries. That is strange. After 1 hour I give up. I cannot increase her rights and I cannot add myself as an admin to her blog. That blog is living on its own in cyberspace.
What a day. And it is only 11.10… I really hope nothing else got lost during the night.
