Netflix trouble

I saw the Netflix site was down most of yesterday, for close to 12 hours. The official line is that it was "due to a glitch in its scheduled weekly maintenance system." Interesting, it must have been a pretty comprehensive problem. Instead of being punished, Wall Street pushed their stock to all time high though, go figure.

And even more pics

Since we are in a picture mood, here are a couple more: one in my orange clothes (orange hat and orange vest), plus aviators, and another one out with Nicole over the weekend.





Both recent, and both taken with my Blackberry.

Yvonne and the kids

Some very nice kids Yvonne sent out recently of her out with the kids. May have to plan a trip to Seattle to visit her and Karsten, it's been a while. Maybe in the Fall.

media silo

I created a media silo over the weekend. Uses a simple interface to search my media library across the network, which lives on a 1 Tb NAS. Went with a simple yet effective solution to index and cache the files. Seems to work pretty well. Getting decent download speeds, in the 70 Kb range. Not bad.

Requires authentication, obvi. No desire to become the next Napster .

Lightbulbs

I have now 2 dead light bulbs, one in the restroom upstairs for the vanity mirror, and the one from my computer desk which just died. Geez, I guess I do have to take a trip to Home Depot this weekend.

I think the New York Auto Show just started this past weekend, planning on going with Hans, maybe Saturday.

Typical Monday at work, just got home a few moments ago. Time to eat something.
