Hmmm, some updates...

1) At work, we're wrapping up work on the new Popular Science website. It's not live yet, but it's almost ready for prime time. That's really exciting.

2) Spent Saturday doing errands (bank, comics, wash car, buy new front door, buy rug). Yes, a new front door. We're going to get rid of the crappy one that came with the house, and replace it with something that does a better job of keeping out cold air.

3) Had trouble sleeping Saturday night, so Sunday was a blur of recovering from weird sleep and world of warcraft. I got my priest from 17 to 19, and also helped my wife with some quests in the evening. Tammy hadn't been playing for a while because of wrist pain that we associated with the computer use, but she's feeling better now, thank goodness.

4) And Dad called me up to ask me questions about wireless networking, which I was almost totally unhelpful about. He's got Windows 98 SE, for one, which I don't know how well it works, and a lot of the specifics of wireless networking I honestly just don't know... because for us it's always worked fine. Hopefully what I told him will help.

And I'm still learning ruby on rails. Mostly using this new beta 'Ruby on rails for php dudes' book that's still under development, which is written for Rails 2.0 and so works well with the updated system.

She might have a minor case of carpal tunnel. If you find some good wrist strengthening exercises and perform them regularly, you'll have no problems.

I only say this cuz it sounded similar to something I had years back, and that was my diagnosis. Did the exercises, and 'm good now. :)

Carpal Tunnel is what we thought it might be. We bought a cheap wrist brace to help support her wrist better, and she laid off the computers for a while (except for work), and that seems to have fixed it. I'll suggest the wrist strengthening exercises, though.

Yeah, it beats having to wear a brace all the time too. :) (I had to sleep in mine... not fun)

So you actually play WoW?

What server and guild?

BTW, this is Chris :)

Big Chris, I'm guessing?

Yeah, I play it on a couple of servers, Fenris and ah... I never remember them is the problem.
