3 Months today

Kylie is 3 months old today! I know I have a ton of pictures I need to get off of the digital and into the gallery (sorry Mom), but it just seems like I don’t have the time lately, mainly because I try to catch up on sleep whenever I can.

Well let’s see what has happened in the last month… She has out grown her bassinet (and a number of clothes) as she is now weighing in at over 14 pounds and has moved to her crib in her own room. She handled the transition very well and we are very happy with that. In addition to this she has started to attempt to roll over, although she is not quit there yet.

We have decided to try and start to teach her a few words in American Sign Language as studies have shown that Babies who learn to sign not only learn to communicate faster non-verbally but also tend to learn to speak sooner as well. We have start off with a few words such as “Mommy”, “Daddy”, “Milk”, and “Change”. We chose these words because they are words that we can easily work into a normal conversation with her. The book says that babies will start to attempt to communicate using sign at around 5 to 6 months but that the sooner we can introduce them the better.

In addition to this Kylie has already been introduced to classical music through Baby Einstein‘s Baby Beethoven: Symphony of Fun and she really seems to enjoy it. I am hoping to get more of the Baby Einstein videos and recommend them highly.

Kylie continues to enjoy the pool and bath time and I have a feeling that, like her Daddy, she will be swimming before she is walking. Along the lines of locomotion, however, she has learned that while lying on her back she can stretch her legs out and push herself backwards along the floor, although she doesn’t do this often.

Princess has also finally come to terms with the fact that Kylie is here to stay, as she no longer runs away when Kylie is brought near her and will even allow Kylie to pet her. In fact the other day I was sitting with Kylie in my lap in my recliner and Princess jumped up and sat with us for a little while after nuzzling Kylie’s foot in way of greeting. This was a first for Princess mainly because the chair is much smaller than the couch and Princess was ok with Kylie being up there with her.

Normality restored

Well a few days after the sub-domain issue and I think everything is back up and running now. Thanks to my Mother I was informed that part of the gallery was not functioning (thanks Mom) and as such was able to fix that. So once again I think everything on the site is functioning normally.

Michigan renaissance Festival

Today I finally made it to the Michigan Renaissance Festival out in lovely Holly Michigan for the first time ever. I have to admit it was rather enjoyable, not that I didn’t think it would be.

I so many things I wanted to purchase, mainly revolving around weapons, but also some other items as well. Included in that wish list of items was an awesome hand crafted, fully functional 57 pound war hammer for a mere $850 from Custom Swords. As far as I am concerned they had not only the best quality weapons (Axes, Swords, War Hammers, Maces) at the festival, but the best I have seen anywhere in a very long time! I was talking to the lovely lady behind the counter and found out that not only are they hand made, the material is of excellent quality. For instance, the war hammer was 5150 Spring Steel, and the aluminum wrapping on one of the Staves was airplane grade. Once there site comes back up (I was informed it was down being redesigned) I fully intend to look around and try not to spend all my money.

In addition to the weapons the costumes were great. There were so many people there in costumes that you almost felt out of place without one. I think it would be pretty cool to go back next year in character, I am sure the experience is completely different. Of course this is also probably the best place to get said costume, as they sold just about all the items you would need. I guess the hard part would be deciding on the character.

Seeing the joust was rather cool as well. I have some pictures of that that I hope come out well. I will have to see when I get the film developed. After I get that developed I will be sure to add pictures to the gallery, I believe these will get filed under the “event” album. Assuming I ever get around to scanning all the pictures I still have to scan that is.

All in all it was a good day and one that I think I would like very much to repeat next year.

I have to admit that I think it is kind of funny that I scored higher on communism than I did on Republican. heh.

Domain name investigations…

Well, I think I have determined why eking.isfat.info no longer seems to work… I decided to look into the domain isfat.info (the domain I sub domain off of) and found some interesting information the first place I looked. And where was the first place I looked you ask? Well I decided to do a WHOIS lookup over at dnsstuff, a nice place I discovered when I still worked for VIA. Here is what I found:

Domain ID:D6370443-LRMS

Now this WHOIS look up tells us a lot of information, mainly who the registrant (owner of the domain) is and all sorts of neat things about him in relation to the domain. The part that is actually relevant here the following lines:

Expiration Date:13-Sep-2005 03:55:28 UTC
Status:HOLD
Sponsoring Registrar:R124-LRMS
Status:PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE

What this tells us is that the owner of this domain (Tyler Morgan) only has the rights to it through September 13, 2005 and that whomever the registrar (company the site is registered through) is has placed the the domain on hold pending deletion. So, what this means is that any data sent to or from the domain isfat.info (and all subdomains like mine) is not actually being processed through. Instead we get errors.

This just tends to me more towards the idea that maybe I need to get my own domain name. I am just not sure if I have the the few extra dollars a year lying around.

Sub-domain name lost?

Well it appears that something odd is going on. I am not sure why, but it appears that my original sub-domain name of eking.isfat.info is no longer working. I have attempted to log into my free dns provider to check into it, but I can not seem to remember my log in information. So in the mean time I have created a new account with them and am now running off of eking.afraid.org. Perhaps it is time to seriously look into getting my own domain name? I know they are not all that exspensive any more, and there are plenty of places out their that will register a domain name. The hard part is really just coming up with a name that is not already taken. Perhaps i will start looking into possible domain names. Until then the new sub-domain name will have to do.

Me as a D&D character

Chaotic Evil Human Fighter Thief
Follower Of Talos

Alignment:
Chaotic Evil characters are the most ‘evil’ people out there. They are willing to do anything to get ahead, and will kill anyone who stands in their way. A chaotic evil person sees no value in order and governments, and believes to the utmost in the tenant that ‘Might Makes Right’.

Race:
Humans are the ‘average’ race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live ‘for the moment’.

Primary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn’t to say that they aren’t intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.

Secondary Class:
Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.

Deity:
Talos is the Chaotic Evil god of storms, forest fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, and destruction in general. He is also known as the Destroyer. His followers fear him more than worship him, and they revel in the destructive fury of nature – while praying to be spared from its wrath. Talos’s symbol is three lightning bolts, of different colors, coming from a central point.
