I set up my first subversion repository today. Very cool software! I highly recommend it over CVS. There are a couple of quirks about branching and tagging you have to get used to if you are a CVS junky, but well worth the powerful features. Read the Version Control with Subversion for more info on setting up and using subversion.
I'm using ImageMagick to scale down images for my photo archive. It looks like the "convert" command preserves the EXIF information stored in the JPEG. Cool!
What's the difference between a toddler and a tornado? You can catch a tornado.
That's what was running through my head as I was clearing a path through my living room today. This morning, before I got Emily up, the living room was clean and organized. After a mere couple of hours, Emily had "freed" her toys from their bondage and placed them in their "proper" locations all over the floor. I can't wait until she gets the hang of putting the toys away too.
I've been busy and gone for the last couple of weeks. Maybe you haven't noticed I haven't been blogging for a bit.
During the week of June 6th, I wrapped up all my major projects for the spring term. Lisa, Emily and I then took off to Santa Barbara where we saw my sister Karin graduate on Saturday, June 12. We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with Karin and then plowed backed to Corvallis on Monday with my sister Christina in tow.
Christina was with us from June 14-21. We had a great time hanging out, showing her the sights around Corvallis, the Oregon coast, and Northwest Oregon. Most of all, it was a time for everyone to just relax.
After giving Christina back to Southern California, we geared up to go away on our 4 year anniversary trip. We took off on Wed, June 23, and spent some time relaxing at the Bonneville Hot Springs Resort. Our friends, Don and Susan Hoffman kept an eye on Emily while we were relaxing. We then hung out at the Hoffman's house for a few days and then came back to Corvallis.
I've spent the better part of this week catching up with work, bills, and other artifacts of life. I think I'm finally in a "consistent" summer schedule now, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
