My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
There's a new version of the iPod software available for download today. It adds some new features to all of the iPod models, including my old G2 model. On the G3 and above, it adds a new “Import Photos” option that is supposed to be used with a new camera accessory that will be coming out in the next few months. This could be a great thing for photographers. I've always wanted the ability to store photos on my iPod.
Lately, I’ve been busy doing things other than playing online, such as taking care of a sick Ana and getting some rest myself, as I seem to have caught a bit of what she had. This Sunday, I leave once more for some Oracle training. This is the last time I have to go, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to miss my family but I love to learn.
I just finished getting settled into my hotel room and I went for a walk around the outside mall which is located right outside the back door of the hotel . The hotel is really nice. I have three wireless Internet access in my room so I can sit on The chair or on the bed and do my e-mail or write an entry in my blog. Have a look at my pictures that I posted on the site.
The Windows Server service allows a computer to share printers and files with other computers. It’s a resource hog that you may want to shut down and disable if you don’t plan to share files or printers with others. However, you may want to enable this service temporarily to share some files. Here’s a quick script I wrote to let you do just that. @echo off sc.exe config lanmanserver start= auto sc.
Here I am, writing an entry in the blog when I should be finishing up all of the things that I have to do before I go away for one full week of Oracle training. This is week one of three, and this one should be relatively easy since I already know my way around SQL pretty well. I’m still interested in this class because half of the material will be completely new to me.
Today is Ana’s 5th Birthday. She was born on January 4th, 2000, so it’s always easy to remember how old she is!
I hope everyone had a good holiday season. I know I did. I took two weeks off of work and have been having a great time with my wife. Ana’s been gone these last two weeks and I really missed her, but she’ll be home tomorrow and then I can give her the presents I got her for Christmas. She’s going to get some more presents on Tuesday when she turns five.

I got a call from Mom tonight. She had to get new platelets today but her white blood cell count doubled. She told me that if everything goes well, they may let her come home on Monday! Since she received her new stem cells, they consider her to be “born again” so that means that she is a whopping eight days old today. We had a good talk tonight and she sounds like she’s doing better.
I’m not doing so well. It seems that every day-some home from work, I have a killer headache and a desire to just fall asleep. I’m starting to think there is something wrong with me. Maybe there’s too much Stress in my life, or maybe I’m just getting Sick. I just wish it would be over.It’s getting nard to get work done. The tablet does make it easier though; I can stretch out on the couch and get some work done.
