Lunar Eclipse

For those of you who missed it last night. I took these while standing in my driveway.

ER visit

I cut my hand opening a can of dog food today. I cleaned it threw a cloth on it and ran out the door. Rumples was a bit confused. It was during a snow storm so driving was interesting. I had my right hand over my head trying to keep pressure and at the same time trying not to get in an accident. I got to the ER and the triage nurse was like whats wrong... cut my hand... are you looking for sympathy? They saw me right away. I got two stitches. He started with two shots of lidocaine... He waited for a while for it to numb up... poking it every once in a while, but it never numbed up and I felt the stiches going in. He said it was odd because he put a lot in. He said that for some people it just doesn't work for.

Dog sitting

Rumples has been realy good. He has taken over the love seat and made a mess of the covers... He seems to have understood what was going on. Normally he expects to go home the second day, but at this point he has not even asked to go home.

He was perfertly fine and happy until Lisa started to get ready to leave. She had to make an unexpected trip to Va. Her dad was in the hospital. He is out of the hospital now, but we do not know how long she will need to stay down there or if she will have a job when she comes back.

Computer age?

So I was watching news, and there were going to have a photo competition of some sort and they tell everyone to upload the photos to there site. There was send it through the mail or... It was just upload it. Have we really gotten to that point where the majority of those who watch the news can and would rather send photos over the internet rather than snail mail?

Cerner Upgrade

There was an upgrade of one of our major programs at work this weekend. I had not been involved in the prep, but on Friday, I went through some things to make sure those at my site were ready, and set up a meeting place or command center for our site. I then got one of the application teams worried by asking them about something they had not tested with the upgrade up to that point. We were going to start upgrade devices, we had about 70 at the General, at 2:30 this morning and finish all the computers by 6:30. They were going to page us half an hour before we could start upgrading to give us time to get in. My pager went off at 1:30 and I was in and starting the upgrades at 2:00. I had assigned the three that needed to be done first to me, and two of them needed to be installed manually. There was a problem with the manual install, there was a rights issue on the server. I was able to get that resolved with the server team, and everything went ok after that. The go live time kept getting pushed back, and was finally up at about 8. At about 6:30 or so we were told that something was added to cerner and we had to run something on all the computers we already hit. I was able to run that remotely on most of them. After the go live I went back to the ER to make sure those devices came up like they should. The general was all set and I was out of there a little after 9. It sounds like the other sites are having some network issues a while longer to finish, even though those site had a lot fewer devices than the general. Now it is time for me to get some shut eye.
