No not ‘adult’ I mean grown up. These kinds of cereal are easy to recognize in the store. They are on the top shelf well away from where the kids can yell, YUCK! They are typically boring – no shapes, no colors, no blatant sugar coating. I say blatant because like so many guilty adult…
Walmart Continues Conquest
There is a Walmart in Idaho Falls where I grew up. A few years ago my dad told me that it is the only Walmart that has a fishing pro shop. I was never a fisherman but there are some world class fishing areas around that area and so a local small business market was…
The Master Simulator Made Me do it
Robots evolve good and evil attributes. Interesting.
I Love Our Facebook Application
While our house plans application on Facebook is not anywhere near as popular as Superpoke nor will it ever be it is a great application for me because the Facebook users find house plans that I have never noticed before. With the family being the size it is we need a larger home, but if…
Framework Problems Will Ruin Your Day
I created a code generator that writes all the of the code that connects ThePlanCollection.com website with its database. It is kind of like ActiveRecord that makes Rails so useful but not nearly as elegant. Someday I will release it as open source, but I am probably to late given all the other code generators…
A Gazillion House Plans on ThePlanCollection.com
I updated ThePlanCollection.com last night. I must admit that updating when you are tired is not always the best idea, but I figure everyone else is probably asleep so there isn’t really a better time. We don’t really have a gazillion house plans, but sometime it feels like it and being able to manage all…
The Flower Shop In Logan
My brother and sister in law bought the flower shop in Logan (Utah). It is always scary to start up a new business even when you are buying an existing one. My brother is even learning how to build web pages (he is the ‘webmaster’). After all these years of me trying to convince him…
The Roomba Ends Christmas
Christmas is frequently heralded at our home by the purchase of poinsettias. They are beautiful flowers that originated in Mexico and which really have no business hanging out in the snow and cold of Utah. We buy new ones every year to help support the local economy and because we can’t keep them alive for…
Maddox
We went out to eat on our way back from running errands in Ogden. Finding a restaurant on a Saturday night in an unfamiliar area that you can take four kids to is not a trivial task. In spite of having made this journey so many times before we still haven’t figured it out. Tonight…
Use Mac Ports on Leopard to get Ruby on Rails Running
I am stealing this from Dave South, Logan Ruby User Group Illuminati. If I don’t extract it from my email I’ll never find it again. So I’ll ask for Dave’s forgiveness for the blatant plagiarism. Install MacPorts, first: http://www.macports.org Be sure to put /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin in your path. PORT programs to install: sudo port…
