Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentHere’s a board game called c-jump using snowboarding as a metaphor for programming and teaches programming logic through the game. Based on a real program. Bet I could find errors in the program!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentIt’s true! Our beloved Mahnamahna song from Sesame Street that has recently been repopularized in a Dr. Pepper commercial was originally written for a porn movie. Wikipedia tells the whole story!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentThis Windows XP Theme looks great but I can’t see spending $8.95 for a theme! Perhaps if I wasn’t stimatized into thinking the theme would mess up the OS.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentAct IV - Sec Master HDD Error
Turns out this referred to the 10GB IDE harddrive that had been removed from the system but was still listed in the BIOS. Correcting the boot order to make sure that SCSI was a boot device and redecting the harddrives to remove the reference to the 10GB HD corrected the error. Once the IDE harddrive was returned to the system it would not boot. Moving the ide harddrive to the slave position with one of the CDROMs as master allowed the system to boot. I’ve had my friend’s computer for 4 weeks and feel terribly guilty. I am thankful that it will be returned tonight.
Next Act - Quality Time with Noah

I opened the front door the other morning to see a St. Andrews Cross hanging in front of me. This guy to the tips of his legs is about the size of a silver dollar!
We also have some Orb-Weaving Spiders about.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentToday is going to be a bizarrely stressful day of balancing work, cleaning, and attention to the kids. I could easily spend all day simply cleaning. I could easily spend all day trying to clear some backed issues off my plate. The stress my wife will take upon herself at the thought of a surprise visit from my folks and their friends will undoubtedly bring us both to the breaking point multiple times today.
I begin today’s show with the kitchen floors…
