Sheep Guarding Llama

Today is Emily and Craig’s daughter Ellie’s first birthday party. So Min and I headed on over to Perry for the party. We hung out there for a couple of hours and Craig took the Mazda 6 out for a test drive.

After the party, we went straight over to Arti and Danielle’s house in Wadsworth for dinner. After dinner, Arti and I playing three games of AoE2 while the girls went out and did some shopping and then watched Drop Dead Fred on DVD. After the movie was over, they both fell asleep on the floor and the couch while Arti and I continued to wage war late into the night. It was a good time and I think it may be the first time that I have managed to play three games of AoE2 in one day!

I have tried and tried to think of what I did this day but I just can’t come up with anything at all. This day has officially been lost into the annals of time.

And the countdown has officially begun.

Well, Niagara Telecom, Inc. joined the Livingston County Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Hopefully that will help us generate some business here in the local area. We are going to be joining the Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce in January when they take submissions again.

Min got in at her usual 9:30 in the morning and was pretty exhausted. Andy took the day off of work. He is having a hard time dealing with the amount of stress that this job has associated with it. I talked to Jonathan Stagno this morning. He is going to be coming up for the wedding in October.

Well, all the teachers are back to work today. Fun fun fun. I worked from home today and Min worked on wedding stuff before she had to go to work at the hotel this evening. I decided that in celebration of the beginning of the school year, I would add something cute to the site. So (I think that Min and Francesca will get the biggest kicks out of this) here is my official Smurf Meter.

Brainy Smurf

You can click on the image of Brainy Smurf to go and find out what kind of a Smurf you are. I thought that that was very entertaining. I need more sleep, I guess.

I have been working on getting an Internet Radio server up and running for forever and finally got that taken care of this evening. What a pain that has been. I have been working on this server for a month trying to get the latest and greatest radio server technology running and it turns out that the latest version of the software is buggy and you HAVE to use the old one. What a pain. So once I switched back to trying to use the old software, everything worked in no time. Well, it is a big relief to have that taken care of anyway. If you want to check it out (I even have this one working with Window’s Media Player AND Zinf, then you should be able to just head on over to Steve’s Internet Radio Station and check it out. If that doesn’t work, then just try typing http://66.95.91.71:8000 into the URL field of any stream player. And yes, that means that this works fine on your way cool Sharp Zaurus as well.

Not a lot of news to report to day so I will keep the update short and sweet. I am going to bed early knowing that I have accomplished much. Take care everyone.

Min and I didn’t get to bed until very late because we were up printing and cutting papers. We finished up around 4:00 am. We woke up this morning around 9:30, shortly before Danielle arrived to work on all of those papers. The three of us spent the morning working on all of the papers for the York PTA. Michael was very excited to be able to play Nintendo Game Cube for a good portion of the day. He played Wave Racer, Simpsons Road Rage and Star Wars Rogue Squandron 2.

I got a lot of work done here at the house today. I spent a lot of the day on the phone. I am working on repairing a computer that was shipped here from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. It was apparently infected by a virus or worm but no documentation of such was given to me so I don’t have a really good indicator of what is going on with the computer. I have updated tons of files on the computer and have been running a number of different anti-virus packages trying to determine what is wrong with the computer.

I did some additional work on ScottAndDominica.com today and now the online RSVP is available so that you can just send the confirmation right from there. For those of you who have been concerned that you have not yet received an invitation, don’t despair… Dominica is just getting many of the invites out tomorrow and there are plenty (especially of my friends whose addresses I don’t have) whom are not ready to be sent out at all.

Andy and Nolan finally talked to each other tonight for a couple of minutes but not much was accomplished. School starts tomorrow. But Nate, Bob and Zach had to be at school today to get ready.
