I made a few changes to the webspace. I decided we could use some new pictures on the site.

Could I find something even more mundane than reorganizing the closet? Why, yes I can. I decided to caulk the shower. The original caulking was wearing away and getting rather nasty. A quick trip to Target, $4.00, and 45 minutes of labor, the shower looks much better.
Four Questions for Chris:
1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year? Our first wedding anniversary.
2. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions? Nope, not a one.
3. Where do you wish you were celebrating? Groundhog Day. It is only 32 days away.
4. What do you plan to do for New Year's Eve? I'm not sure yet. We have a few options and are waiting to see if some of our friends have plans. If not, we are going to Dave & Busters.
04:18 PM EST
In mundane activities, we reorganized our closet. It just needed to be done. Neale mailed Debbie her Christmas gift so we are almost caught up on gift giving.

Things to do online in 2002:
1. Remember to check CIAC or Break the Chain before believing suspicious email and postings on websites.
2. Quickly pass unknown attachments to the recycle bin especially executables.
3. Continue to use a web-based email program like Hotmail for virus scanning or copious amounts of commerical email.
4. Update virus definitions weekly and scan entire system twice a week.
5. Continue to work on the webspace (try your own at Tripod).
6. Check Windows Update regularly.
7. Stop passing email forwards and encourage others to do the same.
Great utilities to use in 2002:
1. Window Washer at Webroot.
2. Cacheman available at Outertech.
3. CookieWall, Capture, and MaxMem available at Analog X.
4. PopUpKiller available at xFX Jumpstart.
5. Ad-aware available at Lavasoft USA.

Neale and I had a good Christmas Day. We called family and friends. Later, we saw Harry Potter and as far as children’s movies go, it was good. We were curious what the hype was all about surrounding the film. We had dinner (homemade pizza) and made our first attempt at homemade Thin Mints. We will have to try a few before we believe they are worth sharing.
What the heck *is* emo anyway?

Merry Christmas.
12.24.01
Neale and I made about 3-dozen Christmas sugar cookies, which included three shapes: gingerbread man, bell, and tree. We also made a few creative shapes with the leftover dough. I believe we started a tradition for Christmas celebrations in our home. We watched "The Ref" and "A Christmas Carol" during the baking. Oddly, the two films compliment each other.

I spent some time sweeping out the dead links on the web pages. Those other links/pages come and go but this webspace will prevail. I am proud of the current state of the pages and cringe at how crude the original page looked. If I only had a screen grab of that first page. Maybe I should check The Internet Archive.
I have been using PopUpKiller for a day and am very pleased. No more annoying ads for spy cams and credit cards (we have enough already...trust me).
I went to Chipotle for dinner. We are both disappointed that they changed their chips. The present ones are baked (and chewy...but not is a good way) and the old ones (the good ones) were fried we believed.
There is a rumor online that IE 6 has a service pak coming out. Check Microsoft for details to see when it will be released.

We are switching over to Direct TV with Tivo. We found a deal for $50 installation and free gear. New dish should be installed by Jan. 5th, 2002.

It is year end and I will add to the obligatory list of past personal events. Today, I paused and flipped through my planner/date book. Why? Just sentimental, I guess so bear with me.
January: Dish Network installed (a good decision), sent a paper to ASA (it was accepted), sent a paper to OAS, furniture shopping (finally paid off), Knicks on MSG, TV Funhouse, got a Passport (didn't use), a Fed Ex delivery (no idea), started my final class at UA, went to Gateway to repair Mega, had lunch with Wendy W.
February: Groundhog Day (invented the "hairy woodchuck"), had sexual harassment training, saw "Hannibal", Cleveland Art Museum, Neale's new tires.
March: Mega still at Gateway, Corgi Rescue, OAS meeting.
April: Louisville NCSA, rash, teaching, *61 on HBO, AKD Banquet.
May: U2, Survivor, vote, Mets on PIX, Grades due, Good Eats, Museum, Leave for NYC, Anniversary, Noel's grad.
June: Screensavers, Akron Aeros, Start comp. Study, Take Neale to airport, got CSU job.
July: Lights in the sky, walking, Six Feet Under, Autorama, Evals, State Park, St. Louis, Chipotle, Blood.
August: Remy Zero on HBO, Data, ASA, order book, Ring.
September: Blood, Band of Brothers on HBO, wax, e-check, 9/11, Blood, Cedar Point.
October: Travis, Tenacious D, walk, Comp.
November: Mom and Dad Sut, vote, Neale flight, our first Turkey Day.
December: Class over, exam, switch to DirectTV, insurance, Neale flight.
Needless to say, I probably left a few things out.
12.19.01
We did our Christmas cards last night. They are in the mail. I will be at the Post Office this morning to mail a few boxes. Hopefully, the lines are tolerable.
Neale and I have been enjoying 24.
I added some reviews to the film page.
We heard a new deal on local radio concerning satellite TV. It was about this time last year that we added Dish Network to our home. However, we heard a deal that involved Direct TV and Tivo for just $50. Since our Dish Network contract is almost expired we are heading to Twinsburg, OH to investigate this deal further and see find the truth in the fine print.
Neale leaves for St. Louis tomorrow.
Strongsville Snow Watch: No snow.
12.17.01
I am done with CSU for 2001. The grades are finalized. Looking forward to next year.
12.15.01
We did our Christmas shopping today. Yes, in one day.
Neale is on vacation. She watched "Traffic" today while I graded exams. I am almost done with the grades for my classes. It was a fun semester at CSU.
I like to update my software on a regular basis. I checked Microsoft Technet today and found a few helpful things. I have been busy d/l patches for IE lately. But, I digress. There was a patch for Dial-Up Networking recommended for Win98 so I installed it. In short, it was a headache. The install instructions mislead me but luckily I could still use Mega. However, I found help online within minutes and solved the problem. My advice is to avoid this "patch".

I had a dream involving fly dogs, a castle, and staircases. If there would have been a dwarf, David Lynch would have pleased.
12.13.01
Neale had one election but two sessions this week. They both went fine. She will not have any elections for quite sometime as she has shifted teams for 2002. Same place, same people but a different focus for 2002.
Since it is the end of the semester, I am busy finishing work at CSU. It is final exam week and there is grading to do.
Neale is on vacation next week. I am done for 2001 after next Tuesday.

Did You Know?
Legend has it that Thomas Jefferson returned from a trip to France with America’s first waffle iron.
A century later, street vendors were selling hot waffles slathered with molasses or maple syrup.
12.08.01
We liked "Fargo". It was a good film. Yet, this is taking the plot too far: Hunting for Fargo.
Gotta love good sauce.
I reach for serious comfort food this time of the year... kraut and pierogi.
12.07.01
It was the last day of fall classes at CSU for me. It was a fun semester. I learned alot and several students told me they enjoyed the class (yes even the ones that didn't get A's or B's). I will change a few things for next semester and will try to get a summer gig teaching something besides Intro. I love Intro. but would like to try a new prep.
Speaking of fun...check out Bob and David's Run Ronnie Run.

I have finished editing the code and am happy to annouce that 2002 will bring a revised journal to these pages. Expect a new journal page on January 1st and the present journal page to be archived.

I spent the weekend grading and Neale enjoyed some quality relaxing.
I have switched over to Cacheman 5 and it has been working fine. It has more features than Cacheman 4.1 and includes a memory recovery option. However, I still find MaxMem from Analog X a more efficient memory recovery program.
Once again Tripod has been slow. Not exactly sure what the problem is on their end. Please excuse the slowdowns.

Our first tree.
We saw Spy Game (2001) last night and we both recommend it. If you see it, what was the subtle reference to the The X-Files?

Neale and I caught True Colors (1991) which we both feel was an underappreciated film. Yes, the opening theme is nauseous but many of the scenes between Spader/Cusack and Cusack/Widmark are insightful and gripping. In all certainly more remarkable than Primary Colors, yet not as fascinating as Bob Roberts.
08:34 PM EST
I enjoyed our last mild fall weekend here in northeastern Ohio. This morning I saw some snow.
In a curious programming change, WMVX 106.5 FM, a local radio station that Neale and I both enjoy decided to shift to an all Holiday music format until Christmas. All I ask is please take it easy on the chipmunks.
A few days ago, I mentioned a cookie security problem in IE. MS released a patch if you were curious or use IE. If you would like to read more about this, then check this CNET article.

This journal is a collection of thoughts, ideas, links, pictures, and general nonsense. Some of this stuff is informative and helpful, some random and irreverent. Dare I say banal? (Dare, dare). Isn't there a fine line? Ok, this isn't Jabberwocky but I can keep trying. Yet, as I may seem to be focused on my own personal tasks, lost in my thoughts, and perfecting that contemplative look on face, I do overhear many conversations on an everyday basis. Today, I overheard two people discussing how the Internet started and how it works. However, they like Al Gore were ill informed about how the Internet started and how it works. I want to turn to them and say "You should check this site out: Howstuffworks and read how the Internet really started" but I could not. Why? Well, lets face it I'm shy. Yet, I can tell you and not spend all my time talking to AliceBot.

I have been checking on how to run Java scripts in IE 6 and in my Inbox appears a helpful email from TechTV. There seems to be a small problem in IE 5.5 and 6.0 with enabling the running of scripts. The advice is to disable scripts but if you do that and then go to Microsoft Windows Update to see if there is a patch or fix, their site does not run properly. I had to 'ok' 40 messages to run scripts in order to have the updater run properly. That makes this look normal: Race Car.
By the way, you have something in your teeth. Goodnight.

I once again sleep late, get up, turn on the TV, and there is smoke and flames.
In better news, Alton Brown has a great site. He will be releasing his book next year and plans to do a signing tour. The fifth season of his show Good Eats is much better than previous seasons (better writing, better locations) and that probably is due the change in production companies.

I upgraded our browser to IE 6.0. We had been using IE 5.5 for about two months. I prefer updated programs as long as their bug free and IE 6.0 hasn't had any major problems that I have heard about. Likewise, it is not that much of an upgrade from IE 5.5, which I suspected. The move from IE 5.0 to 5.5 showed real improvements in speed on our system but the IE 5.5 to IE 6.0 hasn't shown marked improvement yet. The most noticeable change is the lack of Java support. I am trying to figure out how to get Java applets to run in IE 6.0. I downloaded the most recent version of Microsoft VM and several Java updates from their site, both of which hasn't fixed the minor flaw yet.
While updating our browser, I checked Intel's site and they released a program that helps programs run faster and their chips/motherboards. Well, who doesn't like alittle more speed on their system? So, I decided to give it a try. However, a small problem. My family of motherboards (800 series) is not supported by the program. I guess I can't miss what I didn't have. But, if you do have a motherboard that is 810 series or later, I would recommend giving the program a look, check it out here: Intel

We had fun this weekend. My parents visited and we saw many sites around Cleveland. On Saturday, we visited the West Side Market, Tower City, CSU, downtown Cleveland, and saw "Don't Say A Word". On Sunday, we visited Ashtabula County for the covered bridges and had dinner at Ferrante Winery. The food was very good and if you're a first time visitor, we recommend the "Wine Sampler" for a good variety of Ferrante's many wines. Check back in a few weeks for photos.
Did I mention it was my birthday weekend? Well, it is now "Chris' Birthday Week". Celebrate accordingly. Want to guess what I want for my birthday?

November already? Where did the year go? Ah, memories.
Besides stocking up on Swiss Miss, there have been a few changes around the home. The Halloween lights were hung and blazed for about 2 weeks. I will take those down soon and place Christmas lights on the porch. We are buying a small tree this year after Thanksgiving and we have some white 'candles' for the windows. Where did I leave those? Hmmm, maybe the closet.
We should have a fire soon. Yes, even in the fireplace. It has been quite toasty in here but my parents are bringing some firewood when they visit. An apple tree in their yard met an unfortunate end.
I once again chose Thursday to do 'car stuff' and accomplished finding the source of a 'tapping' beneath the car, getting an oil change, cleaning the interior, and touching up some dings in the side panels. I actually bought gas for under $1.00 and I wasn't filing up a modified DeLorean off to meet Doc Brown. Ah, 'car stuff'...essential but not exciting. But, remember your mileage may vary.

Neale was ill yesterday morning. She worked at home in the afternoon and evening.
Since my exams are done and my course plans are caught up, I actually had free time last night. I watched TV and enjoyed doing next to nothing. I will be taking some time off from doing too much until I know the results of my exams. I will have some grading coming up and my parents are coming this weekend.
Speaking of teaching, I have had some great class meetings lately. Yesterday, we discussed gender and there were many good examples from the students' lives. It is a good feeling when the students take an idea and discuss it as a class. This is difficult when a class has 100 plus students but when it does work it really is beautiful.
Are you tired of your memory being overused by Windows? Give this a try Max Mem. Plus, it is free.
Sunday dinner is a special dinner in our household. As some of you may know, Neale and I don't cook too many meals together. We eat together but we don't cook together too much. Sunday dinner is the exception. We usually try to make something that we both can enjoy. This Sunday it was Spanakopita and it turned out well.
Much to my surprise, ESPN Classic decided to run the '86 NLCS and last two games of the World Series yesterday afternoon. It was fun to watch again.

We had fun with Dolores and Joe at Akron's "The Haunted Laboratory" on Saturday.
Classic gaming lives on in our household thanks to MAME. Neale is a much better Galaga player than I am. However, I have her playing Zaxon.
Our Halloween fieldtrip plans have changed slightly, I believe we are headed for Akron tonight.
If you live the Cleveland area, Chipotle restaurants are doing a promotion on Halloween. If you dress up like a burrito, you receive a free burrito this Wednesday. Break out the tinfoil.
Don't forget to set your clocks back.
Exams are over!
Neale has been very busy at work lately. So many cases, so little time.
We have a Halloween fieldtrip lined up again this year. We're hoping this one is much more successful than our previous trip to North Ridgeville. In short, we want more scare and less breaking of child labor laws.
I am almost finished with my comprehensive exams. The process is emotionally draining and physically tiring but, in the end, satisfying and exciting. I feel sad before the exam starts and grateful towards the finish. Generally, I am glad I prepared and am given a chance to do my best.
Good night!
