Paxton Net2 Time Issue

Your controllers get their time from the server, so if you setup a new server and don’t update the timezone from say Pacific to Central, all your controllers will be reporting behind by two hours.

The fix is to update the timezone on the server, then restart the Paxton services. Once those start back up you can then do a reinstate on the controllers and it will update their time.

Kyle Austin Norris Arrives

Our son Kyle Austin Norris arrived Tuesday morning.  He was seven pounds fourteen ounces and twenty one inches long.  Pauline did great again with the whole process and is recovering well.  Julie has given him a lot of kisses and everything is going well.

More Julie Pictures

For Pauline’s birthday we ended up going to Huber’s Orchard in Moonlight Indiana.  Dad and I took several pictures while we were there and it seems like Julie had a really good time.

Hey we got a car 2

P and I purchased a new car yesterday.  We got a Chevy Traverse from Havey Ellis Chevy  in Columbia.  They did a great job of getting the car for us and also for working around a problem with my GM card.  I don’t have any pictures right now, because it was raining all night last night, but I will get some soon.

Adventure LVL 5 The Lost Blade

lvl-5-the-lost-blade

This set of encounters went pretty well with our group.  There were a few hitches, but everyone made it through alive and only one of the group really had any chance of dying.  I have talked to a couple of them and they acted like it was pretty fun.

When I run the encounters I have a sheet that I have printed out that has all the monsters stat blocks on it.  I am not including that because I don’t want to get into any copyright issues with Wizards.

What I do though is pull up the compendum and pull up the monsters I am using, then hit CTRL+A on their stat block and copy it into OpenOffice.  It does the best job of pulling in all the images and everything.  Then I set the font to 8 and that really shrinks it to fit on as few pages as possible.

DnD 4e

For the last year or so I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition with some people around here. It started out as some of my friends just needing a person to fill in, but became an almost weekly thing. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it from when I played it as a kid. Continue reading

Easter 2009

Our spring break fell right before Easter this year, and I decided that I would take a few days off this year.  Julie and I hung out Thursday and then Pauline took Friday off as well and we all goofed around the house.  Sunday came and Pauline and I made a bunny cake for Easter.

Julie pictures from the Ice Storm

We had a pretty bad ice storm here a few weeks ago.  It didn’t really hurt us much in our part of the county, but in the northern part of the county it caused a lot of damage.  It ended up shutting school down for almost two weeks as the county tried to recover from the power outages and trees down.  It did give Pauline and I some time to be at home and just hang out with Julie so we got a few pictures of us outside.

This last picture here is just an example of how much water came down before it really got a chance to start freezing and everything.

Court Ruling on MMR and Autism

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/12/autism.vaccines/?iref=mpstoryview

Federal courts ruled today that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and Autism. Something that is easily proven if you look at the science on record for the vaccine and stop listening to people like Jenny McCarthy (even as hot as she is) who is not educated in chemistry enough to know the difference between anti-freeze and preservatives.
