It’s so strange using face detection in my pictures. I can pick a person, then sort the photos by date and suddenly I can see years of change on them. With my kids, it’s really significant. I’d like to keep this feature going, it will be interesting in a few years.

So I weigh 245lbs and I’m 6’2″ tall. I’d like to be about 200 or so.
We have an elliptical machine that collects laundry, so maybe I need to change that.
First run:
30 min
155 cal
Fat burn profile
In the stable part of the program I was at 180 pulse for the entire time I was moving.
I am covered in sweat.
As I was getting Ava’s bed ready for the night I found this drawing. She says it’s a ladybug. I think it’s great.
Powershell Cornify

I have been writing a lot of automation in Microsoft Powershell lately. As a little break from the grind, I decided to implement a console cornify.
The original web browser version of course has more sparkles and shimmer, but this one makes me happy too.

Server upgrade

A couple months ago I came across a new server, and switched my web server VM over to it. (Yay, ESX!)
The problem is that my database server was still on the old virtualization infrastructure (BOO, Windows Virtual Server!). When I tried removing the last traces of the Virtual Server, it inexplicably disabled the network adapters.
I got my data off the server and replaced a big disk array with low capacity with some tiny disks of high capacity, and haven’t looked back.
Oh yeah, the old DB/file server was 1.4 TB of data on slow disks, 4GB of ram and one HT processor. The new DB server is 2 processors, 8 procs per core, 16 GB of ram, and a decent amount of storage on 15k rpm disks.
Pretty good hardware for the price I got it for I might add.

We went to the falls today after eating breakfast at the raging river cafe. Cold and misty, also they removed the lookout.

Lowes had closet kits on sale so I bought one. Cheaper than ikea but a lot more work.

We had a quick tour of the San Juan islands, and on the way back we stopped by Deception Pass and visited the beach. Audrey got to push her toes in the sand, Ava dug holes, and Amanda was looking great in her new purple coat.
I also took a panorama photo, and I think it turned out pretty well. Click through to get a bigger version.

We escaped the kids for the evening (thanks Stacey!)
First we went to the library and checked out grown up books, then we crossed the street to a local bar where I am having drinks with my lovely wife.
