Ms. Piggy

Another dog showed up at our house this month. Her name is Ms. Piggy and like Gunston, she is a Jack Russell Terrier and, also like Gunston, was homeless. She is about two years old and full of energy.

Gunston

He’s a dog…

Got a dog. He’s a Jack Russell Terrier about three year old. He was homeless and living at the Northern Virginia SPCA. His name is Gunston, or Gunny for short.

Isabel

Made a big mess…

Guess its been a while since I made an entry. Nothing much new happened around here since the last entry…except a visit from Hurricane Isabel! Isabel made a mess of the local power infrastructure. Guess I was lucky. We only lost power for 24 hours…some people had outages of a week or more.

Doofus the Linux box is still chugging along. He now hosts HR’s Industrial Strength Portal using an Open Source software package called PHP-Nuke.

Doofus also got pretty beat up as a result of Isabel.. The initial power hits played havoc with his file systems. It took a while, but we managed to get him up and running again in a couple of hours once the power was restored.

Thats all for now…see you next time.

Parrot Heads and Rednecks

Are really not that much different…

Went to see Jimmy Buffett last Saturday at the Nissan Pavilion near Manassas, VA. The show was great…he sang a lot of his classics and a good time was had by all.

Going next week to the Jamboree in the Hills in Morristown, OH…just west of Wheeling, WV along Interstate 70.
