Month: January 2010

  • dishwasher woes

    I noted on here that we bought a new dishwasher back in November of 2008.  It’s a great dishwasher; it has a built in food grinder so you can put all sorts of stuff in there and it makes quick work of it.  It worked fine for about 10 months, but about 2 months ago…

  • Toren update

    We’ve been a bit swamped here lately with school starting for both of us.  Ergo, no posts for a bit.  So, here’s the skinny. Toren started daycare on the 12th and hated it.  He cried all day, every day for the first week.  Debi didn’t take it very well and I, of course, was in…

  • Ubuntu: Securely Erase Hard Drive with “shred”

    On Windows, I used the free program Eraser to wipe hard drives when I was finished with them. I looked for a while for something similar for Ubuntu Linux but couldn’t find any programs like Eraser.  Turns out, however, that this functionality is built into the operating system, though it is command-line only.  Here’s an…

  • PEACE Alternative Break – days 3 and 4

    The remainder of our time in Fort Lauderdale passed relatively peacefully.  We worked at Horses and the Handicapped and were even treated to dinner on the third night by the former student’s parents (which gave me a chance to talk to non-students for the first time in a while; very nice!!!).  I think what we…
