From the monthly archives: September 2004
I have worked for a few companies in the past — I’m not limited to Roma ISD as a previous employer — and those companies DO NOT like negative word-of-mouth advertising. In fact, one company even flat out told me as an employee to make the guests say positive words in reference to their quality [...]
After much discussion, via forums of various sites, we have decided to invest in DiskWarrior to repair our B-tree, but we will be waiting on my pay day. In the meantime, the iMac will continue to need two start-ups each time to get it running from the LaCie disk which actually still [...]
This is the iMac the day it died. It had been sitting there for about an hour when I finally got impatient enough to manually turn the thing off. Before I pressed and held the power button, I snapped that picture. No spinning thingy under the apple. At least it was a pretty screen [...]
Okay, here’s what I know about the iMac and its woes.
The first time the iMac had troubles, I thought that it was related to my having recently repaired the permissions on the internal hard drive. Upon using the disk utility software that comes with OS X Panther, I discovered that my “B-tree” was corrupted [...]
Yes, the iMac is sick. Very sick. It might be dying. We think it is dying. A very slow and painful death process it has been for all three of us. The iMac. David. Me. There are few things we know for certain, but we will be setting up a new category for the costs [...]
Sunday afternoons are usually uneventful for the two of us. We always go to church where we are each involved in a ministry. David plays trombone in the Worship Team and I work the first service in the Resource Center. The Resource Center is pretty cool. We sell all kinds of books and sermon series [...]
Last night, David took me to the monthly CapMac meeting with an iBook in tow and some burrito in our bellies. Their meetings are held in the new Pharmacy Building on the UT campus, so we had the time of our lives parking at UT [...]
I just did a quick email check on the ‘ol gmail account and I’ve got a few invitations I’m holding onto until they come in handy (No, this is not one of those Everybody Beg For Gmail posts) and at the bottom of the gmail window, Gmail had included a link: “Invite Humana to Gmail” [...]
Today is the birthday of two of our parents!
My mom… she’s always been there for me, even when I didn’t know it. She is fast becoming one of my best friends. I wouldn’t say we were all that close while I was growing up, but now that time has passed and I’m here with [...]
I keep getting that stupid time of the month that shows up when God says, “Wait.” Â I feel like a little kid in a store… when the mom and dad say something like that and the kid gets all upset and his face turns red and then there are tears. Â Oh, the tears. Â Falling, like [...]
My complextion has cleared almost in a matter of minutes. I am now almost sure that this month is another No from God. I wasn’t really sure until I washed my face just now, but it is 75% less bumpy and broken out than it was this morning, just like every day I’ve ever gotten [...]
Pictures of all three baby girls born to our friends and family in August are up in the gallery. I visited Nicole for a brief time, enough only to capture the 7 pictures of Hailey and hear the latest “poo” stories. David and I are praying actively for all three girls: Kambry (our [...]
