So Jenna is still two – almost three, but her brain has parts that must be more like 20. Callie was taking Aubrey and Alyssa to preschool the other day. Jenna goes too since you can’t just leave a two year old home alone. On the way a bunch of cows had gotten out and…
More riding and I feel like crap
I had the chance to ride Smithfield canyon after work. Riding in the fall is interesting. The weather is warm and then cold so dressing correctly is difficult. The canyon is beautiful and a fun ride. As the leaves turn it should only get better. The bad news is that I now feel like crap…
Everything you didn’t want to know
Lists are as web 2.0 as social networking sites. Here’s my contribution. An interesting list about death. Something fun for Labor Day weekend. Enjoy.
Tired… again
Last week I rode around Bear Lake – 52 miles. The next day it was up BlackSmith Fork canyon – 27 miles. Stupid wasp hit me in the lip on the way back and stung me. My mouth swoll to the size of a small apricot in a matter of minutes. Stupid wasps. This time…
asp.net url rewrites and IIS
Here’s something I am posting so I remember it. I want pretty urls for my latest ASP.Net application – The Plan Collection (2.0, reloaded, you can pick your favorite internet term). Url rewrites work fine using the web server built into Visual Studio 2005. Howerver, IIS is smart about what it lets pass through for…
ASP.net tips and tricks
Scott Guthrie is the man when it comes to ASP.Net – he is in charge of it and it is basically his brain child. Those around the world that write code for the web using a Microsoft platform owe him big kudos. Anyway, when he speaks it is wise to listen. He has a list…
PPH – Profanity per Hour
I have been working on getting some CSS to work for a new design for The Plan Collection. The payoff is terribly small. I am really starting to hate CSS and the new “tableless” world of web design. I have spent and enourmous amount of time working around bugs in browsers and find new ways…
Setting up new Macbook pro
I am trying to set a new Macbook pro to boot Mac OSX and Windows with a third partition for data. It is a pain, but here is a good resource to help you get started. I managed to mess up the partitions. If you do that you will need to boot off the install…
Interesting DRAC 4 problem
I keep track of a couple of servers that we use for The Plan Collection. We have three Dell servers and each one of them has a DRAC 4 card which is usually a very helpful piece of hardware that let’s me manage the machine remotely. All of a sudden one of the cards quit…
Ruby made me fatter so I had to do something
For years I have relied soley on typing to keep me in shape. Most of the frameworks I have used managed to help me keep the pounds off. They required plenty of code and my fingers were left in great condition. Then I found Ruby on Rails and the pounds started to come on. I…
