Inspiration

Todd Sierer inspired me today. We met somewhat unexpectedly at the LabVIEW Developer Day at the Hilton in Salt Lake. He told me to check out Katie's blog and I told him I wanted to get our family website up again. He asked me why I didn't just create a blog. When I started thinking about what I'd write, it kept flowing, so I decided to try it. Thanks Todd!

Emily has her monthly book club tonight, so after getting the kids down I finished watching the Jazz lose in solitude. We (meaning the Jazz, because I'm on the team) actually played pretty well but San Antonio is simply too good a team for us. My only hope is that we'll fare better at home and gain some momentum going back to Texas.

I then started playing around with iFolder. It's a really useful application that synchronizes folders on different computers. It's developed by Novell and is open source. They have some great directions on getting it working on Windows. I had to build and run the server for the clients to work, however, so it's pretty involved but is still pretty slick.

We're still getting settled into our new home. We love it out here in Syracuse! My parents and Rebecca and her kids came up to check out our progress.

We didn't realize when we moved in that we already had a tenant. This robin's nest is right on our front porch. We saw the three little baby birds stretching their little necks out for food for the first time on Sunday.
