Garage Reclaimed

While doing our remodel we lost the use of our garage. We used it for storage and the contractors had a big dumpster in the driveway. For most of the summer there was also a small lumber yard in the driveway and a portable toilet. So we parked on the street all summer. Best time to do it but an inconvenience.

This last weekend we got the garage cleared back out and I was irrationally excited to park both cars in there again.

First Snow of 2011

First snow of the year just started falling. Really big flakes slowly floating down. First snow is always special. I hope it is still on the ground for Mazie in the morning.

The other day the coffee maker in the office was out of commission. From this note you can see the situation was dire.

With all the changes at Google Reader, it may be worth revisiting Fever again.

Want a Piwik extension that shows number of IPv4 versus IPv6 requests.

I have an IPv6 only website since Linode supports that. But none of my networks support IPv6. Can’t see my own toy.

Importing 300 CR2 files from Canon 5D Mark II with a POS USB card reader (vs. FireWire reader). This should be done in about 10 hours.
