Fiber to the Node!

I was excited to receive an email from the Mayor of Woods Cross concerning the Planning Commission. It stated the following,
"The Council also hear a report that Qwest Communications had proposed to bring "fiber to the node" to several areas of the City that currently do not have internet/cable tv services (Field Crest, Cahoon Meadows, parts of the Clover Dale subdivision) during their current 2008 build year. No final date had been determined but Qwest committed to provide the service this year."
I know that the city was in communications with Utopia. I would much rather have the Fiber run to my home from Utopia versus Qwest, but either way we will finally have High Speed Internet! And by the sounds of it we should have it by the end of this year!

Walkie Talkie...

249er-567...
You're trailing off and did I catch a nine'er in there? Were you calling from a walkie talkie?
No... It was a cordless!

Man do I miss Chris! RIP!

No! This is NOT a picture of you!

I'm sorry but this has been an issue the last few days and it makes me laugh!

There is a virus going around that will take 50 of your MSN Messenger contacts and IM them an IM with a link stating "Is this a picture of you?" or "Is that you in this picture?". When people click on the link it takes them to some site where it downloads a .dll and then overrides there MSN Messenger with a new one that uses the new .dll file. When this happens it then starts over and sends the link to the 50 new contacts from the newly infected machine!
I have hated MSN Messenger and never thought that it was very secure! I loved seeing this virus because so many people use the defaults of what they get! Honestly, How many people have msn as their homepage?

Now that you know the details behind the virus... here's a funny story to go with it!

I found out about this virus on Monday night at work. A lady clicked on it and was like "I clicked on it because it was from [so and so]". So I fixed her computer. Then in our weekly IT meeting I made mention to everyone to "NOT click on the link!" Well not more then 20 minutes later one of the IT members that sits across from me says, "Crap I just clicked on it!" as he ran around his computer to unplug his network cable. I asked him, "What?". He replied "I just clicked on the link! It was from my friend Dan." I flipped out! "What the hell! Were you not listening to me in the meeting!" Then all I could do was laugh at him because of how dumb it was! Needless to say it didn't harm his computer because we use <a title="Free operating system? Come on Microsoft! FREE!!!" Ubuntu.


So now that you have read this you have been warned! "No! This is NOT a picture of you!"

Israel 2006... (Catching up on the posts...)

This is the picture we used for our Christmas Cards last year.
I really love this picture.
I can't explain how great an experience it was for us to visit the Holy
Land!
It has changed our whole view on the scriptures!

Testing Email Blog!

This blog was made via an email address that I send my post to!  I think this is pretty slick!  Especially if I can send pictures to the address and format the email in HTML to have it post in WYSIWYG.
What about this LINK or the picture that is attached?  That is a link to my sisters blog!

Pumpkin Carving... (2007)

This years was a little different than the last one that I made. This years only took me four and a half hours to carve! We had a Halloween party Saturday night and Britt bought me the pumpkin Friday while I was at work.
So I got home and started carving! I finished about 10:30 that night. I will have to take another picture of this one because I have let it sit outside and it has wilted a little and the teeth have separated more and it looks more like a skull!

I can't help but to link to the site that inspired me to do this! www.pumpkingutter.com

Pumpkin Carving...(2005)

So a few years ago I received an email from one of my friends linking to a site that has gone away but was something like (pumpkingutter). This guy took pumpkin carving to the next level for me! It never even crossed my mind that pumpkins could be carved like this. So my first attempt was a pretty good success.
My first one (Scream) took me about 3 days to complete!
They are so fun to carve now because they are created by me and my hands! I don't use anything but my own imagination. No templates! I do however use a picture to look at just to make sure that it looks the same.
