Who needs a title?

I finally got around to uploading pictures on Flickr.  I really should do it more often, T’s changing so fast!

He has been eating “solid” (is milky rice really solid?) food occasionally and seems to be liking it.  Also, he has developed a hollow leg and keeps trying to fill it.

Today he has his six month check up (two weeks early).  We’ll find out how much he’s grown since the last time!

Lounging Around on Saturday Morning

Well, most of them are on my computer. But some are here: http://www.zooomr.com/photos/umbrau44 and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/umbrau44.

And some can be found on Facebook. I put them wherever seems to be convenient, although I have hit the 200 picture limit on flickr. I think that means I should pay! Either that or delete some of the older ones…

I do surveys regularly for TechSay and some others.  This time, there was two odd questions asking how does this advertising make you feel about Microsoft Linux?  I believe it was a mistake by the survey writers, but who knows?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Well, compared to yesterday, my experience has been much better. At least until overtime. It has gotten much slower, but thankfully, most of the audio is still there. However, it’s getting worse as the overtime continues. And now we’re shorthanded, with 5:32 left.

Update: Perhaps other people here were also trying to watch it at the same time, saturating the connection.  So it didn’t work for anyone here.

I’m currently attempting to watch the quarter final game between Sweden and the Czech Republic on TSN’s website. It’s really more of a slideshow and about half of the audio feed. My connection is fast enough, I can only assume that there is not enough bandwidth for all the hockey mad Canadians stuck at work (like me). And why aren’t they showing the other quarter final (United States vs. Finland) since that will be Canada’s opponent in the next round?

I watched the replay of Canada and Slovakia and that worked okay, mostly. There were a few hiccups, but nothing major. It was definitely watchable, even if the screen is a little small in a big window.

I would probably be better off with a Slingbox, so I can watch the semifinal from home. Or maybe I could try Orb, since it’s free and I have a tv tuner (that is not supported, unfortunately). I really like the idea of tv on the internet, but I don’t think it’s ready for prime time yet.

I switched computers again, so I had to transfer my Drupal installation again. This time, I followed the instructions at joshdick.net as they are well written and more complete than mine. (Mostly. I didn’t really need the FTP server or the domain name.) And of course, I installed the newest version of each program.

After installation, I started making sure everything was working correctly. The biggest problem I had was with Drupal. I was running 4.7.3 and there is an authentication issue with PHP 5.2. I could log in but as soon as I clicked on anything, I was logged out and got plenty of denied messages. It seemed like Drupal had amnesia.

Fortunately, I found the problem and solution on drupal.org about it. There were a few things I could do to fix it. I could downgrade PHP, I could patch the current version of Drupal, or I could upgrade Drupal.

I chose to upgrade Drupal to 5.0 RC1. I followed the upgrade instructions but they didn’t work quite as described. I logged in as user 1 but when I tried to access drupal/update.php on my installation, I got a message that said Access Denied. They also listed a quick fix. There is a line near the start of the update.php, $access_check = TRUE;. All I had to do was change this to FALSE and access drupal/update.php again. Everything seemed to work, with no error messages and a reminder to change access_check back to TRUE.
