A bad fan crippled my linux box for a few days, and hence the site was down.  Sorry bout that.  How will I ever make my 5-nines SLA now?!?

Is the number of pairs of shoes my wife has.  That’s really all there is to say about that.

Using Albert Banks‘ cool plugin, I’m now able to display the movies I have checked out from Netflix. I had to play around with the CSS but it all went in OK I think.

I’m interested to get your feedback on the 3-across layout — Larger images on top of each other left too much whitespace. I think this works…let me know!

I’m in the minority here, but I like my celly to ring like a phone, not like MTV played through a tin can. I still think there’s a market for “phone” ringtones, but nobody’s biting. In the mean time, here are a couple links that contain a pretty decent collection of actual rings.

I’m using “Old Italian Phone” from the first link and it sounds pretty decent on my Nokia 6682. It’s got that old phone sound with a little electronic-ness in there which takes the edge off, and it’s unique enough so I know it’s my phone.

This is the very moment all you millions of blogsumers have been waiting for — the new breddy.net site! Thank you, thank you — settle down.

The new site is a WordPress blog with a customized version of Ian Main’s Green Marinee theme. I humbly extend my gratitude to Ian for making this excellent code available for public use.

It’s times like this that I realized how lucky and spoiled we are. The air conditioning in our house went south again for the 4th time in about a year. Luckily it isn’t super hot yet, but 85 degrees and at least as much humidity is no picnic to sleep in when you’re used to a nice dry 72 :)

Every now and then I mention a site that I think everyone knows about, only to be greeted with a blank stare. Being the internet junkie that I am, I have compiled a mental list of sites over the years that I revisit continuously.

Occaisonally a new URL makes the list, or one drops off, but for the most part the list stays the same. Someone recently asked me to catalog them, so I did. I humbly give you Breddy’s Links.

Marissa and I want to thank everyone for coming and making our first BBQ a fun time (for us and I hope everyone who came!) If you’re interested, take a look at the photo album. Sorry, I deleted all the X-rated ones (they were mostly of Josh anyway).
