To my Hacker

Congratulations! You are much better at Linux security than I am. I bow to your superior knowledge of server security. Now that you have shown you are better than me, please move onto someone else's site and leave mine alone. This is a family site that only gets a few hits a day, and those hits are usually from dial-up modems, so this site will not help you in terms of world conquest. Again, I admit that you are better than me, please move on.

Somebody added some code to my web pages that is downloading a virus. I have cleaned the front page, but do not click any links to personal web pages until I get this cleared up.

Off to Manti

We are travelling to Manti today to go to the Pageant. I went to it a few years ago, but this year will be much more fun since we we have Taylor and Shaylie with us.

I forgot to mention that my laptop is back and is working well. I was very happy to get it back.

Taylor won the best-looking car in last night's powder-puff derby. While her car was not the fastest, it was cool that three auto mechanics thought that her car looked best. She also won all the backward car races, which just goes to show that sometimes the best laid plans sometimes backfire :D

I had a blowout on my bike. The back tire just gave out and popped, or exploded is the better term. Fortunately, the bike trails were closed that day, so I was on the roads. If I had been on the trails, I might have had to walk a few miles before Tonya could pick me up. We still had to hurry, as we had a baseball game at 5.

I went to the bike shop the next morning and it took them about five minutes to put a new tube and tire on.

A new Calling

I am the new Elder's Quorum Secretary. That means I have all the work, but none of the power :D It also means that I will be teaching one week a month in church. And I thought the number of people that went to Elder's Quorum was low before ;) Tonight, I have a training on how to be secretary. It is amazing that I had decided not to have baseball practice last week so that I didn't have to call all my kids and cancel.

We have our second to last game tomorrow night. It has been a fun season. We could have a problem however, the photographers want to take pictures of the team tomorrow night, but all the parents have decided (along with me pushing them) to not take pictures, could be interesting.

I then have an Elder's Quorum meeting. I hope my laptop gets back soon :( I could really use it to take notes.

What a morning

We had a blackout during our baseball game last night. Driving home we had 4-way stops at each of the intersections (not fun). The power came back on just as we were walking into the house. BTW, the game was ok, and we got some good hits and outs.

After the power came back on, I went to the EC. That was my only good building, all the UPS's worked right and none of the servers had even turned off. At my building, however, the UPS on the phones failed and the phones took a while to reboot. The UPS on my server completely failed and could no even handle things being plugged into it, so now my server is plugged into the wall. (Pray for no power failures) Once I finally got that server running, it said that it could not see my health server, but I have no keys to that building, so I had to wait until morning.

This morning I rode my bike on the bike trail as the health building is near one of the trails. When I got there, the server was on (sortof), but the WAN connection was down. After an hour on the phone, that finally came back up and I was able to fix the server problems. Then I biked to my office and fixed a couple of people's computers.

I am getting my exercise today.

Taylor and Shaylie have tube day at their swimming lessons. I wonder what Shaylie is going to think of riding in a hydrotube :)

GRRRRRRR

I called everybody on my team on Munday night reminding them of practice and that we were going to take the team picture. I didn't have a single parent tell me that they were not coming. However, three kids did not show up for practice! What's up with that?

We also got our soccer pictures. Finally. For $10, you get one sheet with a wallet size and a 4x6 team photo?! :crazy: I am so glad we are doing pictures ourselves.
