November 2007

So we’re back from another trip.  This was a rare one - The Wife, The Boy and I all traveled together this time.  Other than The Boy  awake and bouncing about his seat for 4 straight hours and The Wife dealing with a jerkwad who insisted on laying his seat in her lap the trip was pretty un-eventful.  However this trip was the first time that my exiting from an aircraft was delayed because of “problems with the jetway.”

Other than that - I’ve been working on trying to install a Windows 2003 Small Business Server for the business.  I’ve installed countless servers in a classroom environment without much trouble, but for some reason when I try and do it for real I always manage to screw up some detail…  This time is no exception and after screwing up the domain naming - I’m restarting the process again.  It wouldn’t have been an issue except that there is an Exchange Server in the mix as part of the Small Business Server.  That Exchange Server is part of the reason why I’m trying to get a server up for the business.  Of course I also know next to nothing about Exchange Servers and that’s probably a large part of my current problem.

Once, again I’m sure the few who actually subscribe to the site were wondering if I had abandoned it.

I haven’t.

Actually, I’ve had three of four things I’ve wanted to post about over the last few days, but for a variety of reasons just haven’t.

First, the problem child I’ve now posted two rants about here still works for me.  While the incidents are “documented” I’ve been told it will take at least two more incidents before she goes away.

Some of what has been occupying my time has been figuring out how to re-design the photogallery over on the Cruise Planners site.  Neither one of us were really happy with how it looked (the wife hated it more than I did though) and I really was unhappy with how everything was organized.  Well after a weekend of work, the gallery there looks much better.

Well, after dealing with the CP site, and having TONs of photos from Paris to deal with I started on the Photo Gallery here.  I think there may still be some work to do, but the Paris photos are up - not all captioned though, and the Photo Gallery looks much better.
