Suz’s Ramblings…

Yesterday was the younger niece’s birthday party.  Surprisingly, it actually occurred to  us to put the camera battery on the charger the night before.
Plus, we’ve been acquiring larger compact flash cards when they’ve been on sale in anticipation of eventually upgrading, as well as insurance that we’d never run out of room on the memory [...]

If I search using the term “dragon” or “dragons” then the following results are acceptable:

Under NO circumstances are the following results acceptable:

Seriously folks.  The latter three results piss me off to no end.  Had I wanted these for results, I would have entered “dragonfly” or “dragon fly.”
That is all.

Yeah, I know it’s been awhile since my last post.  Things have been insane around here, and I’ve been wanting to leave the Team Phoenicia Beg-a-thon post at the top.  I probably should have linked to their CafePress.com store when Will mentioned it last week sometime, but I’ve been ridiculously busy.  If you haven’t donated, [...]

I only just found out today that my go donate link in the last post doesn’t work. Go me, and eff Paypal!
So, here’s a link that should work:

It looks like my gauntlet has been picked up. We’re officially on the hook for $251, which is on the border of making it uncomfortable for [...]

Keeping the sun smiling would make me all warm and fuzzy, [...]

I must be the only person on the planet that uses the drop down portion of the address bar to peruse my favorite websites.  Why else would this not be the way that Firefox 3.0 handles the address bar by default?  I tried installing the “oldbar” add on, but that didn’t fix my problem either.
This [...]

Well, we’ve been house sitting since last Thursday. As a result, we’ve been swimming 4 of the last 7 days. Which explains part of my absence. If I ever get motivated, I’ll post the pictures we took of the pool. There are no pictures of me that were taken as I [...]

Because some of my readers probably only check out what’s being said on my blog when it updates in their feed, I wanted to be sure that everyone knows that the husband left a comment on my last post taking responsibility for my misspelling vxworks as vxware.
Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The Husband is currently brain fried after his interview.  The interview included a tour of the facilities (including the production line), a review of his experience and qualifications, and a “programming test”.
There was much talk of linux porting and vxware use on custom boards as well as the existance of the possibility of (finally!) getting [...]
