Well, it has been 4 days, but it has finally stopped raining. The lawn looks like a jungle right now.
As you can see, I have been working on the website over the last few days. The colors on the side look pretty cool so far. It looks great in Firefox, Netscape, Konqueror, and Opera. Looks like crap in Internet Explorer and I really don’t care! So, if you want to enjoy my site properly, get a web browser that follows HTML 4.0 properly like any of those mentioned above.

Been sick for the last 4 days. My nose looks like it has been rubbed with sandpaper. I was sick for my Birthday, oh joy.
Hope I didn’t get my whole family sick. Got Tiffany sick as well, so she has more fun on top of her pregnancy.
I was able to work through it Friday, but today I just didn’t have the strength to go into work. My whole right side hurts like someone kicked me.
Added some new photos to the Images section. One of the U505 submarine, before it was moved, and one of a little coffee shop I spotted on the way home.
The baby is coming along well. He either kicks or tickles Tiffany from the inside, depending on his mood.
The Olympics are over, watched about 20 minutes of it total over the last 16 days. It is good to know that Americans are not the best at everything, just the best at marketing.
It is out of the news now, but I thought it was funny they found ricin in a roll of quarters in some Texas university. Funny how some new, undefined terrorist scare comes out every time the administration is feeling a lot of heat. One of those things that makes you go hmmmmmm.
In other world news, Iraq looks like it is spirally down towards something. I don’t know what. Either the Iraqis will stand up and form a new government, or it is just going to devolve into a civil war. I hope not, too many innocent lives have been lost already in this “liberation.”
I feel badly for the Iraqi people. Decades of dictatorship followed by a foreign occupation force. Neither seem all that wonderful.
But, my own life is going well. Did a lot of housework today. The results look good, just simple stuff around the house. In less than a week I am turning 32! Now I do feel old.
Finally found a proper carrying case for my beloved Zaurus SL-6000L. It is from a company called “ThePouch.” They custom make cases for ANY portable device. Just give them the dimensions and tell them a color, and they hand make a case for you in about 10 days + shipping. Not the cheapest cases in the world, but it is neoprene and custom made, each time. They are at The Pouch
It is the ONLY carrying case out there specifically for the SL-6000.
New Keyboard and Baby News
Went to the doctor and the baby is doing just fine so far. He is getting really big in there. Tiff is alreaqdy dialated 1 cm so far. After nextWednesday, he is full term and can come out at any time.
On the technology front, I bought a Targus Universal wireles keyboard for use with the Zaurus. I am typing this blog entry using it right now. The typing speed is just a tiny bit slower than a full size keyboard, but much faster than the integrated trhumb keyboard. The thumb keyboard is great for some data entry, but not what you want to type the great American novel on. I’ll post a picture later to show off my little tiny laptop.
Here is the picture:
