I am basically beating my head against the wall trying to figure out how to convert my origianl berkley database to SQL when all I have are the db files and a fresh install of MT 5.

 

hell took me almost two weeks just to get sql working...

why yesterday sucked so badly

| No Comments

So yesterday there was a horrible snow storm here in the Chicago area. There was also an appointment at Lutheran Advocate Hospital in Park Ridge for Amelia. We ended up driving for over two and a half hours through the snow storm (a trip that should only have taken thirty minutes) in order to make sure we could be there in time. Because of Amelia's age her UTI made the Pediatrician recomment getting an ultrasound on her kidneys and another test called a Voiding CystoUrethroGram.

Well the end result is that she does have bilateral urinary reflux (ie pee goes back into the kidney's) so that just kind of sucks. We have to go see another specialist next week to see what they recommend. Do we operate or just wait and see if she grows out of it. The whole thing just sucks and theres nothing you can do but sit and wait. Drives me crazy.

She's just so small and pudgy and cute I can't imagine anything really wrong with her.

Jen and I have been talking about our beer consumption lately and how we need to cut back. As such I've agreed to only have one glass of beer a night which I think is fair compromise.

This is why I have back problems

Honeywell is soooo frustrating

Why do I seem to be the only one that can see how obvious it is that the black pit marks shouldn't be there in the original solenoid??

Must have something to do with our "magic brass eating" water here. I can't believe that Honeywell is fighting me so hard on this....there's no way a product like this should only last 4 years....and it was probably broken the whole time!

We had a great Xmas this year. Connor decided that he was in charge of unwrapping all of the gifts, while Amelia just had fun playing with the new toys, especially her doll stroller. Dennis & I received Ninja masks, aka fleece hoods, which are surprisingly warm and have been already worn by both of us numerous times when taking Bailey out for a walk or to play fetch in the back yard.
First, our tree:

This first set of pictures are from Terri's house where we celebrated on Xmas Eve:


Now, for Xmas at home:
First, they got the blankets I made them:

Then they checked out the tree after Santa came to visit:


The obligatory picture in front of the tree:

And opening gifts:




We hope everyone had a wonderful day, as we had lots of fun watching Xmas through our children's eyes!

E tu Microsoft???

A while back Jen picked up an Xbox 360 arcade for us to keep on hand as a backup console incase our main box ever RRoD's again.

Anyways I've been trying to get this thing hooked up to a computer monitor that had a spare DVI input on it but the XBOX only has a HDMI output on it. No big deal really since monoprice sells cables/adaptors for only like 5 bucks....but there is one small snag. No audio.

See the A/V cable the xbox comes with is huge...like swing around above your head to fend of wild animals huge. And when it's plugged in (for example to get audio) it blocks the HDMI port so you can't have both plugged in. Turns out I'm not the first one to run into this problem and the solution is pretty simple. The AV connector is chock full of emptieness...nothing, nada, zip, zilch...it was just built like this on purpose to eat up space for no reason.

See what I mean:

You could smuggle drugs in that much space

So solution is to pop the case, leave it off and you can have HDMI to your DVI and then use the audio off the composite AV connector it comes with. Works like a charm. Whoever designed this was an evil evil little man.
