Thanks to boingboing.net , found this link to a pretty cool online comic, in Flash.

I came across a fairly new browser, very cool, and extremely skinnable. Check out the screenshot below.


It’s called Phaseout and can be downloaded (for free) at phaseout.net

Stephanie uploaded some new pictures last night and today, links are posted to the left.
Apparently if your resolution is set to less than 1024×768 or possibly 800×600, the links all show up at the bottom of the page. I will attempt to do something about it over the weekend. With my job change this month, it has left me very little free time for computer stuff.

Finally got around to start looking at the video, and the few pictures I took with the kodak. I uploaded around 25, from the most recent gathering, as well as a few from previous ones. Not sure about the dates, so if I am wrong, send me an email and I will get it corrected.
You can tell the different between the scans, and ones that I took with my kodak, and the stills from the Sony camcorder. The sony shots are VERY low quality, and you can tell. Will have to see what I can do about that.
Anyhow, I will be posting more in the days to come. If you do NOT want your photo posted, email Stephanie or myself.

Finally got around to finding a decent ASP template for my photo gallery. You can still find the links to the right, or here.
Unfortunately, I have to reupload most of the photos. If you have any that you would like included, it should let you upload them, for approval. If they do not show up within 24-36 hours, email me, and I will take a look.

Ignore me .
Just testing out a blog posting tool so that I will not have to log into my server via the web to post stuff.
UPDATED. hmmm, will have to do a little testing. I is ignorning my grin comment that should have shown up before the period in my first sentence. Guess it posts anything inside the brackets as html code instead of text.

Just got back home from vacation, albeit 24 hours later than I expected. The drive itself was pretty hairy but being there was great. I’ve only had the chance to see everyone once every couple of years, so it was pretty nice being there. Terra Christa was as beautiful as I remember, perhaps more so because of all the rain we have been having in the southeast this year. The kids had a great time with each other, and it is pretty cool to see how much the other children have grown over the last couple of years.
I am pretty tired, so will not be posting any photos or videos until tomorrow at some point. I have a couple hundred stills to go through, as well as about an hour of video to cut. Probably have the best photos in there.
The drive there and back sucked eggs, as seems to be the case the last few years. With the addition of Ruth Helen to the family, we decided that the cars were becoming somewhat cramped for roadtrips, so we bought a used van last week. First time I drove it was the day that we left for Virginia. We left after 5pm on Friday, traffic through Atlanta was a bear, and we had to drive through a downpour all through South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. By the time I actually got into the mountains, around Sparta, it was rainging, foggy, and I was doing around 25mph. Finally arrived at around 4am.
The drive home was no better. We pulled out of Terra Christa at some point after Noon, made it all the way up Highway 58 to 77 south, gassed up, and pulled onto the expressway. A couple miles later, the transmission in the van started to act up. I made it all the way to Fancy Gap, VA, about 8 miles north of the NC state line. Spent the night at the Days Inn in Fancy Gap, had the Van towed 400 miles home, and had to rent a car. All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Stephanie taught Summer School this year. Took her paycheck to finance the trip. Still going to have to get the transmission rebuilt, but my neighbor will probably take the price (as well as my other expenses), off of what I owe him for the van, which will almost pay it off.
Well, got that out. As I said above, I will try to get the pics and videos posted tommorow.
Oh. btw, if you ever shop at Amazon for books or gifts, use the link over to the right, it seems I could use the cash right now

Chris decided to get a new haircut, posted the pictures.

I have started to add links to the videos, just underneath the picture links.
BE AWARE, these will take quite awhile to load if you are dial-up, they are generally 8-12 megs in size. It may take awhile to download even on a high speed pipe due to the fact that my downstream speed is much slower than my incoming.

Second day of vacation and I am still up at 4am. Oh well.
I will be out of town for a couple of days starting 6/27. It is entirely possible that the site might be down part of that time.
