No more upload problem

Well it seems that the blogbot and 'Hello' are once again talking to each other. I posted up a picture of Laura's tattoo on the family site so you can have a look there. Maybe now I can actually post a couple of the pictures of the snow we had a couple of weeks ago.

Last night was pretty uneventful. Laura went out to eat at the Olive Garden with a friend of hers and then went to Target. I stayed home with the kids and we had mac and cheese for supper. Laura and the kids had spent the day cleaning the basement so I vacuumed down there. It looks pretty good now. I also spent some time updating virus software and ripping some of our CDs to MP3.

We got a new gadget just before Christmas called a Roku SoundBridge. It's an MP3 streaming server that has a wireless connection. You simply run an MP3 server like SlimServer and you can play your MP3s through your stereo. Very cool gadget. Check it out at Roku Labs.

Picture Upload Problems

Well it's Friday morning and I am trying to upload a new closeup of Laura's tattoo onto our family blog site, but the 'Hello' program and 'BlogBot' don't seem to be cooperating at the moment. I've searched the 'Hello' forums to see if I could find info on any current problems, but I came up empty handed. Hopefully the service will be restored shortly. Until then you'll just have to wait to see the closeup.

Time to get started here at work.

Monday

Well it's monday morning and time to get back to work. Weekend was relatively uneventful. Braden's hockey team (which I help coach) won their game saturday morning. My team, the Blazers, lost 6-3 Sunday night to the top team in our division. We only had 10 guys on the bench and played a great first 2 periods. We were leading 3-2 for quite a while. But when the 3rd period rolled around we were simply out of gas and ended up losing. Not too bad really for not having half of our team out. It snowed a bit over the weekend and I'll be posting some pictures on the family site this evening. I was supposed to be on jury duty today and tomorrow, but when I called for my instructions they said there were no cases going to jury trial for the next two days so I'm excused. Hope you all had a good weekend. More later...

Laura's Tattoo

Well my wife Laura is off to get her first tattoo with her friend Marian in North Carolina. Seems she has already changed her mind a couple of times about what exactly she wants to get which caused the tattoo guy to say she's an indecisive Irish. Hopefully in a few hours we'll have some pictures of the new art to publish here.
