Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

Claire had a sleepover away, while Abby had a friend over here. Once again following the Bilik household 'Conservation of Children' theory. 06:23am

I'm hoping that the old iMac's flakey CD drive has cooled enough overnight to finish the OS installation. (related link) 06:39am

Posting from the freshly OS'd but 6 yr old iMac. Going to create user accts for both iMacs so that the kids don't mess the OS up so easily. 11:06am

It finished downloading its final updates to OS X Tiger 10.4.11 while I was taking a fitness class at the local Golds. 11:08am

Who-hoo! Warner Music joins EMI and Universal in offering DRM-free music. Hopefully 2008 will be the year of DRM free music! 12:35pm

Just had lunch. Sitting by the fire working on photos from Christmas on my trusty iBook. The boys are relaxing to a little Curious George. 12:37pm

Finishing up w/the Christmas photo album. (related link) Even though my copy is old, Photoshop Elements 2 still serves me well. 01:52pm

We took the kids candlepin bowling and then out for dinner at Milano's. Now having the kids put on jammies before we watch "Underdog". 05:57pm

"Underdog" notes: Underdog's voice is Dave from "Alvin & the Chipmunk". Polly's voice is Giselle from "Enchanted". Major Disney recycling. 07:38pm

The whole family enjoyed Disney's "Underdog" on DVD. It's a fun, "popcorn" movie that brought laughs across the age spectrum. (4 to 40) 08:13pm

Just heard that this area of NH has moved to the 4th snowiest December on record. We're 1/2 inch from 3rd snowiest. There's still time. ;-) 08:18pm

Scott, William wanted you to know that he named his Webkinz Scott- it is a panda bear. Also, he wants to know if all of the stuffed animals are Webkinz in the picture of Abby with her new organizer.
Glad you got to enjoy your cookies.

Hi Lyss,
Thank William for naming his panda bear after me. As far as I know, that shoe organizer of Abby's is all filled with WebKinz. Hope William enjoys his package when it arrives in a couple of days.

Hi Lyss,
It could be two things.
1) The browser could have possibly been showing an old cache'd version of the page. In that case a simple 'Refresh' click would fix it.
2) I *was* having trouble posting yesterday and did get a warning message on that one comment. It was a weird one though.
I'm starting to get annoyed at how the web hosting server for this site is prone to getting swamped. Sometimes I think I'd rather move this all to just a simple .Mac (pronounced dot-mac) account. http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
It wouldn't have the simple bilikfamily.com address though...
