Edith and 1 more on the way

Edith has 8 teeth now and she loves to crawl everywhere. Had to buy a little baby corral to keep her contained. Still no actual words, but she loves to talk.



About those nappies: I don't soak them anymore. We bought a little shower head attachment for the toilet and I use that to spray off the feces covered liners before I dump them in the bucket. Odor is not a huge problem as I diapers are done every second day and I clean the bucket when it's too nasty for storing soiled nappies. Arm and Hammer is the detergent I love. I also add a little Borax to the wash. Hooray!

New baby is healthy so far. Haven't got an ultra-sound done yet, but the doctor confirmed there is only one heart beat.

End of a Yahoo! Era

I've been doing nerdy things of late. I am hosting my own web site at http://www.redeemedalliance.com. It's a forum for my Warhammer Online guild alliance. Running it off an old Dell laptop (using ubuntu server with desktop installed for easy remote-desktop access). With the help of some forums I got the apache, php and MySQL servers running with little hassle. If I could just get my SSH server to work, I could upload directly to the laptop.

Anyway, in the middle of the setting up and all that, I put up a holding page. Well, Yahoo! doesn't let you delete a holding page. Ever. The only way to delete it is to upgrade to a service that charges more per month what I chould be paying per year.

Long story short, I have decided to boycott Yahoo! and friends. I'm serious about this. I have already opened a GMail account and I will eventually transfer all my photos onto Picasa (since Flikr is not owned by Yahoo!). The Picasa thing should work out well, since that's where Blogger stores my pictures anyway.

In other news, I've got a new webpage look. Having some problems with Edith's page and my writing page showing up (I blame Yahoo!).

Also, I'm going to a mini nerd con tomorrow down town. Should be fun. I will take some photos if I feel comfortable enough to do so. Hopefully they won't be mean nerds who chase me off because I don't know anything about Warhammer 40K.
