Lest you think Anna is the only Watkins who’s climbed back onto the Chuck Wagon, I’ve also resumed my weight watching. I’ve also started working out at the gym in my office building. Summer is coming, and I haven’t forgotten my stated goal of weighing 160 lbs on the first day of summer. In addition … Anna’s Not Alone
We went shopping in Danvers on Wednesday. The Sentillion office was closed because of a coolant leak from the roof — ethylene glycol was pouring down into our electrical closet. So, I figured we’d take the opportunity to do some shopping. We’ve been looking for furniture for our new apartment, and just haven’t been having … Fine Dining for your Final Meal
The other day, We wanted to watch a DVD on my Dell laptop. Instead of popping the DVD in the drive and enjoying the cinematic horror that is Van Helsing, I had to download the latest Windows Media Player. We ultimately watched the DVD on Anna’s PowerBook, because the Dell was taking so long to … Another DVD Experience on Windows
Until we finish moving, we’re reduced to watching movies on our laptops. Because the Dell I’ve been issued from work has a large, wide screen, I thought we’d watch that cinematic marvel, Van Helsing, on it. One of my first acts when getting any Windows computer is to uninstall lots of stuff and install other … Watching DVDs on Windows

Of course, had good old Norman been here, he’d have managed to capture everything without cars zooming through the photo. But then he had the option of … View from the Bedroom
Well, I signed the lease for our new apartment this morning. So it’s official. I also dropped off our air mattress and my sleeping bag. No more hotels for me! Of course, this also means that I’ll not have a phone until Comcast can set up our combined cable internet and phone connection. Oddly enough, … Signed the Lease
Within hours, mere hours, of turning comments back on we have SPAM. That does it. No more comments on our Web site. I know this comes as crushing news to, er, almost no one, but that’s how it has to be.
Well, I’m willing to give it a try… comments have been turned back on. Now don’t all rush to comment on your favourite post. Truly, we only get one or two comments a month; so I’m not certain why we bother. To prevent further spam, I’ve changed the name of the program that processes the … Comments Back
Returning from vacation, I noticed an enormous amount of spam comments trying to entice visitors into clicking on advertisements for “cheap” pharmaceuticals. Until I decide what to do about this, I’ve disabled comments on all posts. Unfortunately, the pages still have the comment forms at the bottom (I goofed when building them), but submitting comments … Comments Disabled
I don’t think drivers pay any attention to the posted speed limit any more. I’ve noticed in my travels that when the speed limit changes, from say 65 MPH to 55 MPH, most drivers don’t bother to slow down at all. This would be a trifling issue if these drivers were obeying the speed limit, … Speed Limits, Anyone?
