Glenn is really learning how to crawl now.  Unfortunately, he has been waking up every night as well.  He does not like to eat much before going to bed, so he ends up hungry between 3 and 4 A.M. 
But, it is cool to watch him figure out how to get from point A to point B without mommy or daddy.
We took a long video last night of him in the early stages of crawling.  I am sure by the time I get home today, he will be even better at it.

Adobe finally released Flash Player 9 for Linux.

Flash Player 9 For Linux Released | Linuxlookup

Now I am completely free of any Windows software.  The only software I was using was Flash 9 for Windows using Crossover/Wine.  It worked OK, but the performance was only all right, and integration was not perfect.  The performance is much better with the native player and everything works perfectly.

Glad the week is over.  Today we had to move a bunch of HEAVY panels at work.  They are putting in a new clean room, so the old ‘temporary’ clean room had to go.  The ‘temporary’ clean room was made from welded steel.  Each panel was about 6 or 7 feet by 15 feet!  It took about 8 to 12 guys to lift a panel.  One was so large, we had to cut it in half, or it would of not fit through the doors.  In case you were wondering, it came in through some windows using a crane originally.   Then I also had to figure out why my testers were not testing a new part correctly for customers visiting from Sweden.  Figured it out eventually, it was a head scratcher until I saw the schematics for the part, and it made sense though.  I have to say one thing about my degree, I do ocassionally use what I learn in college in the real world.  In this case it was a resistor network that was being formed.

If you into listening to streaming radio over the internet, check out this site:
Dandelion Radio – Home Page
It is a very nice, eclectic mix.  Only 20 listeners max to the MP3 stream, but is it streaming at 128kbps and sounds better than most.

Glenn is doing well, had his 6 month checkup.  Have to go back next week to get some shots.  Never heard of a hospital running out of vaccine before, but I guess it can happen.  I know some of them require chicken eggs to be made, so supply is limited.

Tiffany is doing well, all things considered.  She keeps the cleanest house I have seen with a child.  Most houses I have seen with kids are filthy messes.  I get to help over the weekend, poopies, yeah!

Photos for:
Week 24

Week 26
Are all up now.

Been getting a lot of use out of photography and Linux book. I never really knew much about the technicalities of photography, it is good to get a theoretical basis of how it works.

The 50 degree January weather lets me get in some walks at lunch. I snapped this interesting photo yesterday:

Deleted the Bush speech, too long and depressing.

Went out without little Glenn for the first time last night, our fourth anniversary.  It was weird, but fun at the same time.  He is such a big part of our lives now, it is hard to forget about him, even for a few hours. 
A big thank you to Ron and Evelyn for letting us get out of the house for a few hours.

Christmas went very well.  We got exactly what we wanted and Glenn got tons of cool toys to play with.  Enough, I hope, to keep him happy till his birthday. A new year is approaching, and I am sure it will be an interesting one.
