Well I have finally gone and done it. I am moving things over to a new "home" server that will host the families email, blogs and file sharing. Stay tuned for more info and details.

Wow, it has been forever and a day since I last posted something on the site here. Well things have been busy, yet pretty boring. I messed up my knee, got it fixed and Yuko is expecting again.... Well the last part I am excitted about....

Well, I have finally done it. I have upgraded the backend system that make Japanish.org possible. I have moved from MovebleType 1.6 to MovableType 3.2. Now I know you are wondering if this will be an improvement or not for you, the reader. I am sure it will as this new system will allow Yuko and I to do more and better things. Stay Tuned!

It has been pretty quite around here this weekend. I am also "oncall" for my employer, but I have been lucky and there hasn't been any calls as of yet. I guess I got another 30 minutes or so to go, so it could still hit the fan.

In other new, I set up a new firewall, Smoothwall. It is a really cool firewall application that allows me to do some things that I couldn't do before. It runs on very old hardware also. I wish I could find a p75 or something similar, but with the pace of technology, I could olny get a PIII 866Mhz, what a waste of CPU power.

I hope I can find a way to cram the guts out of the tower and into something more reasonable and then I am going to deploy this beast into the depths of the basement along with the other networking equipment.

Not a lot is going on tonight. I have added a new album to the gallery. Click here to check it out.

I have added the first album of many to the gallery page. These pictures are from our Japan vaction we took in Feburay 2005 in Osaka. Check it out.

Here is a sample. Click for a larger version.

Check it out! I got a Mobile Blog or moblog. You can find it in the right had side of the page. Now that I finally got a camera phone (2 years late) I can post some pics from my life.... The crappy thing is that Qwest managed to mess up the way it sends pictures, they are not e-mail attachments, but are embeded in a buch of useless ads and crap.... So it is still kind of a manual thing.....

I have been working on recovering my lost entries after a failed attempt at upgrading my MT to the new 3.12 version. it is a long and slow process that has to be done manually, so it is going to be awhile until Japanish is whole again. Here are some new Daichi pics.....
