Hello World

Wow. November 3rd. That’s the last time I posted to my blog. Largely, that’s been due to my work load “harshing my mellow” when it comes to recreational writing. Also, I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but the theme I was using in WordPress was very slow to load. I changed themes (although I’ll be tweaking it for a bit), and it seems to go much faster. This pleases me.

Let’s see, what’s new… Well, after my laptop died, I didn’t restart on NaNoWriMo. That’s a little depressing, but really I didn’t have time anyway. I also didn’t have time to go without a laptop for the better part of a week, but I survived.

Cheap Xanax From Mexico I’m also leaving on Tuesday, bound for Texas. It should be a fun trip. I’ll be at Supercomputing ’08 in Austin, and then back in Houston for a day or so at the Linux Journal corporate office. I’ll be sure to post lots of photos and video. 🙂

https://oevenezolano.org/2024/08/j42savn3m0n Holidays are coming! This year, Donna and I are trying really hard to figure out how to handle Internet access for our children. I can’t go into too much detail, what with Christmas just around the corner, but suffice to say it will be an issue pretty soon. I’m not a big fan of blocking all the potential naughty sites, because it really seems to be starting with an attitude of mistrust. Also, I’d rather our girls approach Internet creepiness with their eyes wide open. It seems that education and trust trump electronic countermeasures any day. Since I see the worst of the worst at work (a school), it’s difficult for me to separate that reality from our own. And yes, it https://www.clawscustomboxes.com/hfa0ig8nnw is different when parents actually care and talk to their children.

  1. Alprazolam Borderline Your old one wasn’t slow for me, but this works too. A theme is a theme, but we need your mug with Tux up there 🙂

    https://merangue.com/9tkhove02 Both of our kids (5 and 8) have their own computers. They are on the internet. Jamie was allowed to move his into his room over the Summer. We don’t monitor it heavily. We have icons on the desktop that go to sites he wants to visit. His home page is Yahoo Kids! He know show to search for stuff. He knows that if he sees anything, he has to tell us. Cassie’s is in my office/kitchen area and we keep an eye on her. Mainly because she can’t really read or type.

  2. https://transculturalexchange.org/dp2tnlucb Well, thanks.

    https://inteligencialimite.org/2024/08/07/0uqg3zjsh Work is a bit dicey, but I’m still employed, so I’ll take it.

  3. https://mandikaye.com/blog/dpc8glsiapt I love this new look, but agree that your mug needs to show up somewhere prominent. Also, stop by that other place for a private comment.

    https://nedediciones.com/uncategorized/uslh7zsm6z And now I’m just gonna type random stuff until I see if I have Candy’s problem with the box not scrolling so we’ll know if it’s just her problem or yours and yada yada yada, not there yet, but looking like I will be in about two more lines…………………..ooops, make that at least three more lines, but getting close and ooooooooooh I’m so almost there just another line and…yup…blind.

  4. You’re back! Yay!

    I kinds liked the old design, but this one might grow on me.

    I have a project assigned by an arm of the state government that is doomed to failure because it’s a poorly thought out idea. But, what the heck, it’s job security.

    https://www.psicologialaboral.net/2024/08/07/ud4j7od Making up a Thanksgiving menu for John, and getting baked good orders from the family. Hey, I’m getting a weird scrolling thing in IE when I type a long enough comment. Odd.

    https://foster2forever.com/2024/08/f3mxyo2hi.html Sounds like you and Donna are on the right track. If you make too big of deal out of the nasty stuff, they’re going to look for it to find out why you find it so objectionable. Go you guys! ::waves at Donna::

  5. Xanax 2Mg Bars Online Wow, nifty. I figured nobody would stop by this dusty ol’ place. 😉

    And now, I’m going to type something rather lengthy, mainly to see if it helps with the scrolling issue. See, I think I fixed it, but there’s really no way to tell until I type and type and type. So, that’s what I’m doing. And apparently the font size is rather small, because it seems as though I’ve been typing silliness for a while, and still haven’t gotten to the bottom. Perhaps the person that designed the theme only has terse commenting friends.

    https://nedediciones.com/uncategorized/p7nt5108316 Oh look! It scrolled! The scrolling bar is a bit on the “I don’t match” side, but that’s ok. It scrolls. Life is good. 🙂

    https://polyploid.net/blog/?p=s2le94u2kn7 And yes, the tux photo will be back, I just ran out of time last night. I think the butterfly graphic might be gone too, as they bother me for some reason.

    Oh, and the (what I assume is) Chinese text as well. I have no idea what it says, but my luck it’s something like “I pick my nose and eat the findings.”

  6. https://www.clawscustomboxes.com/thipo2af6a I missed you. I noticed it was all different here and thought I went to the wrong place but then enough stuff was the same to make identification possible. The other place was warm and friendly, this is like a new home, and you gotta live there a while before it feels like home. I like to see your face here. The butterflies and Chinese don’t make it feel like it’s your place, so good if they go, good you know how to make these things happen. Oh, by the way, our chickens are laying eggs now, could you use some? And now I’m to the scroll and typing on darker green but yep it’s working. Love ya

  7. Hey Shawn, welcome back. I don’t envy your internet decision. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about that for a few years. The only site Logan goes on is the Fisher Price animal zoo game thingie. That’s too bad about your NaNoWriMo work, better luck next year.

  8. Hey, Shawn, good to hear from you and see your theme update! You can probably sepia-filter Tux a little so that he blends with your new theme a bit better – or maybe you don’t want to. 😉

    I like the theme – but you and I are both suckers for clean three column themes.

  9. Shawn,
    I would strongly recommend ignoring the web filtering software, and simply placing the computer in a very public room, like the kitchen or living room, with the monitor facing out.

    Even good kids can get caught up in something they don’t understand. This way, if they see something, you all can talk about it, as opposed to them accidentally finding things and learning all *kinds* of wrong information.
