  • Take 2 – Month 5 Photos

    Tonight was a little bit better, but David was still a little bit tired.

    The rest are here.

  • Month 5 Photos!

    But not tonight.  Pre-empted by an extremely tired baby.

    We’ll try again, earlier tomorrow night.

     

  • The Dirt is Now a Garden

    And the dirt has made it into the garden!

    More photos as usual.

  • Dirt

    Today we should be getting some dirt delivered to our house for the garden.  Shame on me for taking the advice/experience of the person on the phone when ordering, I was being lazy but finally did the calculations myself and will be ending up with right around 50% more dirt than I’m going to need.  Greaaat.

    I know I have a few other places in the yard I could use some of the extra, but there will surely be a decent amount left.

    So, anyone in Springfield want some topsoil?  If not I may just tell them to keep some of what I’ve paid for – an idiot tax of sorts.

  • Chef 1.3.20

    I just released the latest version, 1.3.20, tonight.  A few new things include: recipe rating; cooking times; preparation times; better search capability; ingredient preparations; bug fixes; and more bug fixes.

    If you’re a user, go upgrade!  If you aren’t a user, give it a try!

    And now it’s midnight, time for bed.

  • Tired of Sitting

  • SJ-R.com

    Did someone forget to renew the domain? Bueller? Bueller?

    www.sj-r.com seems to be parked!

  • Garage Sale

    Our neighborhood is having a big garage sale this weekend, and for the first time in 4 years we have decided to try and sell some of the stuff we want to get out of the house.

    Nobody wants our stuff.  They just stare at the stack of $3 computer books and continue on 😦  Ana think we should market them as booster seats instead.

    Come on people, come get some C++ learnin’!

  • A question for the digital photographers out there

    As anyone who has done any decent amount of photo editing on their computer knows, getting the colors and brightness just right can be a difficult task.  Speaking for myself, I find it very frustrating to get the image looking good on my main monitor, but when I slide it to one of the others, it loses its appeal. 

     So I’m wondering if any of you have ever used one of those monitor calibration pieces of hardware, such as the Spyder and others like it.  Do they work?  Is it worth it?  Any other recommendations?  I’m using 4 LCDs, no CRTs.

    I have tried software based ones (like Adobe Gamma) but often feel that it ends up being sooo subjective that my eyes want to pop out of my head. 

    Looking for some advice…

  • Some Dog Pictures?!

    It’s my parents’ dog Abbey, but since we usually post cat pictures I thought I’d toss these up.

    Awww
