Bye Bye Six We just found Six dead in her cage. Looks like she died on her way back from getting some water, earlier this morning. Probably a heart attack. I guess yesterday's procedure was too much for her. We will be going back to the vet so they can properly dispose (Don't you hate that word?) of her. As an homage to one little resilient hamster, here's my favorite picture of her:

Very aptly titled "PocketSix".

Six * 2

We just came back from the vet. She extracted another 12cc from Six, about twice as much as last time. At least this time she was able to get more of it out.

Six was not happy after the procedure. Pretty groggy too.

Hopefully we won't have to go back to the vet for another month or so.

The Magic Remote As I predicted the old remote has resurfaced, a day after we received the new one. Vik accidently kicked over some magazines that were laying on the floor, and it just popped out. The Home Theater Master MX-500 is a gem, and I'd highly recommend it. The layout make a lot more sense. Being able to map (and label) functions to the LCD screen buttons makes it so much easier to use. It is a breeze to program too. It took me less than hour to make it fully functional. Most of it was pointlessly spent looking for some our old equipment manuals. I was hoping to find the remote codes, but I didn't. I ended up trying the manufacturer suggested codes listed in the MX-500's manual which worked like a charm. A few macros and custom keys later and we were ready to click our heart's away. [@917]
CVS Upgrade I upgraded cvs.thauvin.net over the weekend. It is now running the latest version of ViewCVS, on its own subdomain. Old references will be automatically redirected. Albino Moose Frank sent me some pictures of a couple Albino Moose. Truly amazing. [@899]
Mobile Orgasm! I received a, hmmm… interesting MMS from Darla while in a meeting. Thanks, it really made my day.

GooglME 0.3 I've just released GooglME 0.3. This version allows you to search for Movie Showtimes. Thanks to Russ and Darla for helping with the testing. The updated source code will be on the public CVS server in a little bit.

A World of Fun, Indeed…

We had a blast at the Harlem Globetrotters Game yesterday. I knew we had good seats, but I didn't expect to be literally on the court. The seating chart they showed me when I bought the tickets was quite misleading. I snapped a few pictures on the phone. Some turned out pretty well. I have to remember to steady my hand when taking shots. Well… I was having way too much fun. In case you're wondering, the Globetrotters easily beat the Nationals. Big surprise. ;-)

Dude, Where's My Remote?

Late last week, I fell asleep on the couch. Nothing too unusual. It happens quite often when I watch TV before going to bed. I'll wake up a few hours later with the TV on/off and the remote laying on the floor nearby. But this time, the remote is nowhere to be found. We've looked everywhere we could think of, to no avail.

We've had our Home Theater Master SL-9000 for years, and it has never disappeared for this long. I had to dust off the TV, digital cable, VCR and DVD remotes just to get things going. What a pain.

I guess someone is trying to send me a message. Time to upgrade the old beat up remote. I just ordered a Home Theater Master MX-500 which should be here in a few days.

I'm pretty partial to the Home Theater Master remotes. We've used them for years and have always been satisfied. The MX-500 seems to be praised by everyone. I'm just not looking forward to have to reprogram everything.

Now that the new remote is on the way, I'm sure the old one is suddenly going to magically re-appear, right where I left it. I'm starting to get suspicious of the cats. They're looking at me funny…

Ordered! It's backordered, so we'll see when I actually get it. [@744]
Vote for Stephanie and Andre Martin's friends Stephanie and Andre are in the final of the Wedding Competition. I just voted for them. [@676]
Seattle Traffic Cams I created a Map for Seattle's Traffic Cams which is now included in Chris' Mobile TrafficCam application. Let me know if you have any suggestions for other cams to be included in the map. There are a lot of them and I just went for the basic ones.
