Freaks and Geeks

September 06, 2005 By: bio Category: General

The long weekend was good!

Saturday and Sunday were dedicated to hooking up with the family. My mother came by on Saturday for a visit (she was in town for a wedding). On Sunday, my wife and I went to my cousin Debbie’s place for a family get-together BBQ.

Those are always interesting.

Monday was geek day. My friend Dan and his wife Kim came by because they wanted a blog and needed help setting it up. I installed wordpress for them, configured it, and walked them through how to use it. Of course, my damn server puked out in the middle of the config, so I had to drop the database and re-run the install.

After installing a custom template, they were up and running.

I also helped my friend Mike (of mrmoth fame) build a PC this weekend. Unfortunately, he lives in Kansas, so it was all over the phone. He got the hardware set up with very few problems (this was his first ever build) but we had massive headaches getting his OS to work. Thankfully, Mike is a very bright guy and is fairly technically savvy (and can listen and follow directions when we get into things he doesn’t know), so it wasn’t too bad.

And finally: today is the first day of school (so watch your damn speed in the school zones!). My kids played like they didn’t really care, but they were up early this morning to get ready.
