    • Non-Alcoholic Hangover Ugh. Unpleasant. I'm just hoping that it wears through by this afternoon so I can flake out for a nap at some point. Failing that...well, I can be _damn_ sure that I'm going to pass right out tonight. ➡

    • Twice an Uncle Paul Fain Hanscom was born at 5:58PM AST (6:58PM in Oregon). Emily and Paul are doing fine. They had not recorded height and weight when Kevin called. ➡
    • Another Valentine’s Day Present Valentine's Day morning, as I was puttering about the house and getting ready for the day while Prairie slept in, there was a knock at the door. When I answered, I was handed a package from Amazon by one of our landlords. This was a little confusing, as I didn't remember ordering anything, but it was definitely addressed to me ➡

    • Just move it to the streets Nice rant on Metroblogging Seattle yesterday regarding the ongoing, neverending mess of a fight between Greg 'Big Dig Seattle' Nickels, Christine 'Viaduct? Vhy _not_ a duck?' Gregoire, and the people of Seattle who just want this all over with... ➡

    • First Confirmed OS X Malware Key points: this is _not_ a virus, rather, it's a trojan horse; it's buggy (doesn't perform all the intended actions); and for most people, activating the payload involves entering their password, which should tip most people off that something's not right. ➡

    • Comment Spam Update This is so nice to see. Since Feb. 8th (the last time I reset the logfile), the only entries in MT-Blacklist's log for Eclecticism are automatic updates of the master blacklist. ➡
    • Newsflash: Psychics as accurate as ever I'm running behind in my online reading, between concentrating on my server and then feeling ill last weekend — I'm currently reading items from Feb. 13th in NetNewsWire, and I've got 2000 unread items to go — but sometimes there are advantages to being a bit behind the times. ➡
    • Too many movies! Apparently the most movies you can have in your Netflix queue is 500. I had no idea. Of course, I'm not sure I expected to end up with a queue this big when I started this whole Netflix thing, either. ➡
    • Hitchiker’s Trailer Amazon has the full trailer for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on their home page right now. It's Flash-based and kind of small, but at least it's there. So far, things look promising. ➡
    • Cuff ’em on! Eat ’em off! Oh, so you think the fuzzy handcuffs your sweetie gave you for Valentine's Day are cool, huh? Kind of funny, maybe something to add a little 'spice' to your sex life if you get the nerve? That's nothin'. Check out what I got from Prairie for Valentine's Day this year… ➡

    • Congratulations! One last post before I stop monopolizing Em's family's computer…a wedding picture of Kevin and Emily! ➡
    • Wanted: advice concerning Wikis I've got a project running around in my head that I believe a Wiki would be a good solution for, but I've not done much to play with/experiment with Wikis in the past. I'd like to start playing around with this project soon after I get home, so if there's anyone out there who might be able to give some advice or recommendations, I'd appreciate some 'expert assistance'… ➡
    • Preparing to head home Well, the deed is done — there are now three sets of 'Mr. and Mrs. Hanscom' in our branch of the Hanscom family. ➡

    • Just a quick test of Lynx Kind of amusing how a Mac-junkie like me still loves being able to do things through a command line and a text-based terminal from time to time…guess I'm showing my age as a 'net old-timer or something. ➡
