So we got a Pool table today. Here is a time lapse video of the installation.

Tina and I made a few pies over the Thanksgiving break. Two Pumpkin, One Apple and One Toll house. The apple pie turned out much better than expected. Tasty and Pretty.

We finished painting the basement and put in new carpet.

Spent today building a new Open Solaris server which will be used as a storage device for Tina new Lab. The Dell T3500 presented a few problems. The installation was problematic from the start, first the dvd drive had to be removed to install the 4 -- 1.5tb drives.

I started by trying to install the 2009-06 version of Open Solaris. The livecd booted, but crashed before I could run the installer.

After spending the whole day trying to fix 2009-06 and find the right incantation to start the live cd, I finally reverted to 2008-11 (Thanks Lucas).

Here are some of the favorite application I have been using on my new Macbook Pro.

MacPorts – Project to convert/port linux/GNU tools to OSX: http://www.macports.org/

Virtual Box – Sun version of VMWare/Parallels: http://www.virtualbox.org/ -- FREE

I just started using Handbrake, on a friends’s recommendation works very nicely.

This is a video of Audrey and Archie. These two love to play keep away with a stick.

It starts will the stick being thrown, Archie goes to get, Audrey waits.

Once Archie get close, Audrey begins the chase, and steals the stick.

What do you know, we have a street! Who would a thunk it.
