On Tuesday it was pretty nice outside, although I hadn’t realized it until Abby came in my office to ask me to take the training wheels off of her bike.
The question was phrased something like, “We need the things to take the wheels off my bike.” “A wrench?” I asked. We went for the toolbox.
Someone on the PANMA list recently asked about running a web server on his FiOS line. I have some thoughts.
Verizon definitely blocks incoming port 80. The only way around that is to get a business account that allows servers (opens port 80) and provides a dedicated IP address.
While the girls went out last weekend to attend a show, Riley and I stopped at the farm store on route 113 to have a look around. Inside, they had ducks and chickens and various rodents, but we were most interested in the garden seeds.
We bought many packs of seeds. Tomatoes, squash, carrots, lettuce, radishes… All kinds of tasty veggies. In addition to the seed, we got a little 72-spot starter planter and some starter soil. Buying the seeds and soil was basically a jumpstart for an idea that Berta had earlier.
I can’t take the credit for this one. One of my co-workers, Greg, ordered something like this when we were out for lunch one day, and I ordered one too.
It’s a pretty simple construction, and I’ve made a couple of slight changes to the original wrap due to the materials available and the calorie content. Anyway, it starts with a whole wheat and cheddar wrap shell. I put a bit of horseradish dijon mustard on the shell, then laid a single piece of green leaf lettuce on top. For meat, today I used turkey and ham, but I’d consider all turkey like yesterday’s. I’m not a ham fan.
I’ve lately had the inclination to rebuild my blog’s relevancy from the last year of once-per-month posting. Maybe you’ve noticed the last few days. By integrating blogging into my daily schedule, I think I can churn out blog posts with regular enough frequency to get “back in the game.” As with most things, it would probably be easier to have someone to do this with rather than doing it alone.
So I was thinking about Inksmith lately. We’ve seen ideas like this come and go, but I think the idea of a new blogging fraternity is a good one. A membership system would simply relate all of the bloggers to the others, maybe aggregate posts, and provide a topic support system.
