Same but bigger

I went over to Childrens Hospital today to help them get ready for a program that is going live in the ER on Sunday. Guess who I ran into. I heard someone say Dr Welliver and so I went and introduced myself. He said I look the same, but Bigger. He said he remembers all of us and and that he did a bunch of test on us. He asked about everyone and said to tell everyone Hi.

Stampede!

When I got into work this morning there was an herd of COWs(computers on wheels) waiting for me in my office. That is just one of the many things that was waiting for me today. I was only out of the office one day. Someone administration was having an issue with a program, yesterday IST security put through a policy that left the ER unable to get into a few computers, I had a delivery of 84 boxes on Monday afternoon that had not been sorted yet, and I had a bad card in the phone system that was affecting patient phones. There are a few more little things. Oh well, back to work.

HP Personal Systems Group Client Technology Days

I went to this meeting with my Manager, a team lead and another tech. This was held in Rochester, so I had to get up early to meet them and drive up there together. It was ok. It was free breakfast and lunch while a few presenters show us what HP was working on and the new products coming in the next year. Basicly they were trying to sell us on the new products. It was interesting to hear what is coming out and they keep repeating that they have to disclosed some of this to the public yet and that we were not allow to disclose details to any one. Dom, my manager won a laptop.

Cooking Review - Meatloaf

I made meatloaf in the slow cooker today, and Mom and Dad brought over potato salad and green beens. It turned out ok. It was a tiny bit dry but not too bad. I did not get the camera out until I was going for seconds.

dryer problems

I have a problem with my dryer. It will spin and blow, but it does not heat up. Dad came over to look at it with me, and as it turns out I also have a bad multimeter. Dad was able to use a circuit tester, that I had, to follow the power down to a bad fuse. He bypassed the fuse and tested the dryer and it worked, so tomorrow I will try to find a replacement fuse.

Cooking review - Cherry Cobbler

I made cherry cobbler today. It turned out good. It was not hard to make either. This worked out well in the smaller crock pot that I have. Crockpots are great.

I am guessing thaat the 7 not set is Adam... When I view it by country, I get 6 in United Arab Emirates and one not set. It seems like there were a lot more hits this month then previous months. I am thinking that posting food has something to do with that. Everyone loves food...

Project Playlist

You may have noticed a new link on the blog(music). Click on the link and it plays a bunch of music that i have selected. This Started by a short lived post on Kay's blog. I looked at her code and tried to make sense of it, and sent her some more code to play with. Then I took a look at the site that was referenced, and it is kind of cool, and I started making a playlist of my own. I am about up to an hour and an half of music right now.

One Payne, any Payne

I got an email from my manager today looking to get something looked at. So I started looking at it, and them when I asked for more detail to get it working right, Dom realized he email the wrong Payne. Since I was already working on it he gave me the info and had me finish up. I guess they do not care who takes care of things as long as they get done.

Hat racks

My hat racks came today. I put one up in my bedroom and the other in the mud room.

Puzzle's done

This on took longer than normal. I was only working on it during breakfast. Then I got bored with it and finished it one evening last week.

Cooking Review - Peach Cobbler

It turned out good. The recipe would have worked out better in a smaller slow cooker. It did not last very long. One trip to Mom and Dad's house and it was gone.

YSA FHE

The young single adults had Family home evening over at my house today. They wanted dinner and a movie. They were planning to have hamburgers and chips and what not. I decided to make the sloppy Joe and bake bread again. They did not bring much meat so it was a good idea to have the stuff I made. The sloppy joe turned out better this time, but the bread came out a little bit darker. It was still good though.

Opps

So, when I went to the new blogger, I did not update the template to send info to google anaytics. When I looked at the report for July, it was empty. I realized right away what had happened and it is now resovled.

Bad dog or just spoiled?
