Posted on 2022-07-18 by Holly

After getting through my 0800 conference call and waiting on George to finish his, we went and picked up Dani’s car and dropped it off at the tire place. The guy there took one look at the old tire and … Continue reading →

It will be Sept

Posted on 2015-08-28 by Proseknitic

Did I mention that George and I are looking to relocate sometime in the not so distant future (next year? Year after?)? I realized as part of the move a requirement to shift from my German web host which I … Continue reading →

insanity or what?

Posted on 2015-08-26 by Proseknitic

It isn’t that there aren’t other things to do…. laundry (four loads), cleaning and that every so fun and necessary scrubbing out of the fridge. But I decided to go ahead and start setting up my blog et all on … Continue reading →

Recovered

Posted on 2015-08-05 by Proseknitic

It is a new day and my sense of humor is somewhat restored. Made better by my husband getting back safely from Switzerland last night and taking me out for dinner on the way home. I was getting pretty sick … Continue reading →

Backup try two

Posted on 2015-08-04 by Proseknitic

Sure enough, the nightmare which woke me was true. My lack of patience with iPhoto resulted in the program attempting to back up everything twice. And execute both at the same time. The end result wasn’t pretty. For one thing … Continue reading →

Backing Up

Posted on 2015-08-03 by Proseknitic

which, to no surprise is involving a lot of forward motion as well. I had planned on backing up photos and sorting as I went while in Tanzania. Didn’t happen as there was this small issue. Forgotten/misplaced external hard drive. … Continue reading →

Taking a break

Posted on 2014-08-02 by Proseknitic

Well, sort of. Maybe. Mostly managing three websites, sorting email, downloading files and spending the late afternoon at red*.  There were 8 of us, mostly regulars with a brand new person added. It was the usual conversation: Wollmiese vs Madelyn … Continue reading →

Madeira and email changes

Posted on 2013-05-02 by Proseknitic

Landed in Madeira today after seven days crossing the Atlantic. The seas were not high, but there were still at least the usual complaints – mostly from the people who put on their patches prior to boarding the ship in … Continue reading →

Not having fun here

Posted on 2013-02-11 by Proseknitic

Oh no, not all all. You see, WordPress has been nagging me for a while to update to the latest version. Since doing that involves FTPing a bunch of files (my other choice would be to reinstall and use subversions … Continue reading →

Audience of One

Posted on 2012-01-27 by Proseknitic

After emptying the SPAM folder once again, I have decided that the purpose of SPAM is not to provide comments on a website/blog for all to see. Rather, it is a plot to drive the owner of said site insane, … Continue reading →

Fancy Phones

Posted on 2011-07-13 by Proseknitic

As a child, we had a phone whose last four digits were 1101. Not a good thing as it was close in numbers to a couple of business resulting in more than one late night drunk getting us instead of … Continue reading →

How many pages

Posted on 2011-04-06 by Proseknitic

does it take to duplicate a medical record? Well, it is a lot. At least when accounting for 30 years in “one practice.” Since the military uses a consolidated, cumulative record that “goes where ever you go” (provided that the … Continue reading →

Cables and Cords

Posted on 2011-03-23 by Proseknitic

Even though retirement paperwork is on my mind, I am not going to talk about it. I want to stay sane and it is enough to start me screaming. I have my new passport. Perhaps I should claim that as … Continue reading →

Downloading Disgust

Posted on 2011-01-07 by Proseknitic

More than once I have mentioned the fact that I am an audiobook junkie. Some audiobooks come out as Podcasts (www.Podiobooks.com ) or iTunes are great ways to get those. Then there are downloads from various commercial enterprises which includes, again, iTunes but … Continue reading →

No Chinese here …

Posted on 2010-12-25 by Proseknitic

Or Indian either for that matter.   Instead, in the tradition of DFACs everywhere – the breakfast service was moved up by 30 to 60 minutes and stopped by 0730 in order to prepare for the main meal which is served … Continue reading →

what not to say

Posted on 2010-12-11 by Proseknitic

Site Down

Posted on 2010-11-26 by Proseknitic

It is the day after Thanksgiving. Since it is Friday morning, it is quiet anyway. Dinner last night at the Korean Hospital was great. Much better than the noon time meal, truth be told. It was late in the afternoon … Continue reading →

not allowed

Posted on 2010-11-12 by Proseknitic

No, I was not looking for thanks for me with what I wrote yesterday – I get lots of thanks both in person and warm emails. Rather, it was the idea of thinking of family history, of what those who … Continue reading →
