I've been meaning to post this for months (which you will notice, because it references April 25 as upcoming), but kept forgetting or losing it in my inbox. When I read this article (from Focus on the Family magazine) I kept thinking, "Wow, yep, uh-huh." I don't agree with every single thing FotF or its representatives say or do, but on this I think they are right on.

To be honest, when y'all post articles, I usually don't read them, so I certainly don't expect you to read this one. I just thought it was so good that a few of you may be interested.

All emphasis is mine.

I just realized that there was a theme song written just for us! It goes like this:

"What the world needs now is Doves, sweet Doves. They're the only thing that there's just too little of..."

I made a new recipe for dinner tonight; cauliflower soup. It was soooo yummy! And so easy!

( So I thought I'd share it for any other cauliflower lovers out there... )

I love how he entertains himself so well. It is so fun to watch him playing and doing different things on his own.

I love how he knows what praise is, and kept climbing on and off the chair because I was clapping my hands and exclaiming at how well he did.

I love how he listens for cars, trucks, planes and helicopters.

I love how he has to go find Daddy if Daddy leaves the room.

I love his snuggles and hugs.

I love how he comes over and pulls himself up by my pant legs and makes it so I can't hardly move.

I love how he sits and 'reads' to himself.

I love how he chases little girls (now).

I love how he comes and tells me when he wants a nap.

I love how he likes tight places and tries to get through the smallest way possible.

I love how he frustrated his Daddy with how much he liked Daddy's ice cream when he tried it for the first time today.

I love how he is mesmerized by the first 15 minutes of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I love how he laughs every time I pat my belly and say 'baby'.

I love how he unpegs clothes (in his reach) from the clothes horse because he thinks the clothes pegs are his.

I love how he rubs his feet together when he's eating something he enjoys.

I love how he makes an 'ehehehe' noise when he's tickling someone.

I love how he lies flat on the floor to look for something under the couch.

I love how he reaches up and plays the piano.

I love how he loves to play his drum and xylophone (and other things) and likes to experiment with different sounds.

I love how excited he gets when he's going outside.

Today I tried playing COH under Ubuntu.

I just cd'ed into my Program Files directory and cd'ed into City of Heroes and ran "wine CohUpdater.exe".

That's it. And to my shock and surprise it loaded and let me log in, select my server, then select my character.

But when the zone loaded I had a screen full of mess and couldn't see anything. :(

So close... so so very close.

Is there a Linux app that will list all shared directories/drives on all computers on my network, regardless of IP?

Is there a way to navigate to said directories, with a file manager or the like, without having to mount them myself? (I'm using xUbuntu.)

Messages sent from mail include the local box name "user@mybox.sub.domain.tld". Several sites are hosted on the box, including "myspecialdomain.net". Is it possible to configure mail to send the from address as "user@myspecialdomain.net"?

I've got an evolution question: When you compose an email in evolution you have the option to go to the top and select Format -> Page you can select a different page background color.

But you have to do this for every single message you create if you want to change the background color for the messages you compose.

How do I made this the default for all the emails I compose with Evolution? I know how to do it with Thunderbird... but not Evolution...

I have an old pentium II 300MHZ with 128M of memory that I beat the snot of occasionally. This week I'm kicking it in the teeth with Slackware 12.1. However, I've run into a problem that I can't seem to get around and hoping that the great minds in this community may be able to help me.

Lilo seems to hate me. Every time I try to boot I get : 'LILO - keytable read/checksum error' and that is all. I can boot from install disc 1 with the boot command 'huge.s root=/dev/hda2 rdinit= ro.' My boot is sitting in MBR and I've tried reinstalling several times and downloading the ISO's twice. I've googled the hell out of this problem and turned up nothing. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, I know that GRUB is better, but I would prefer to stick with lilo.

I was wondering what folks' favorite book is/was for learning/teaching undergraduate graph theory? In particular, I'm looking for a text that includes an examination of directed graphs.

I've set up a repository with svn for the first time. All appears to be working fine, but I seem to be missing an important step.

How are truck versions deployed to the web server? Do I check a copy out and manually copy files over, then check it back in? Or is there a better way?

I was just writing an email to a commutative algebraist, and the following came out:

Are any of you kind folks out there using RMAIL with SpamAssassin in Emacs?...

On my Windows XP hard drive, I've just set the directory with all my mp3s in it to "shared."

I'd like to go into my laptop, running xUbuntu, and tell it to mount the shared directory somewhere that I can point amaroK or some other mp3 player at, so I can listen to my tunes in my bedroom at night.

How would I go about doing that? I assume it involves mucking about with Samba somehow?

I've been using DevC++ for a long time, but I'm now moving on and looking for a cross-platform IDE and/or compiler. Any suggestions?
