Mighty steed
Following up on yesterday's Great Art, here's a fearsome steed from the Los Gatos caroussel. In fact, this was my Personal, Private Horse. He tried to throw me several times, but I showed him who was boss.
I'm enjoying having the comments on the main page. It makes it feel much more like a conversation than before. Keep making those comments, Loyal Readers!
Loyal Reader Number Four spent a lot of time today getting some of the details of the new house lined up - insurance, power, water, sewer, garbage, phone, internet, television, and . . . and . . . maybe that's it. Still, that's a lot, and she did great work on it. It looks like the combination of phone/DSL/satellite is somewhat cheaper and probably better than phone/cable modem/cable TV. The big kicker is that the Comcast people don't include TCM with their basic service here, and the DirecTV people do include BYU TV. Who can argue with that? DSL is a little cheaper than cable internet, but I'm really worried about the speed. Still, it might be worth it to give them a chance. Besides, I'm really sick of Comcast's brand of service.
Loyal Reader Number One got a book called Applied Cryptography at the library today. I enjoy the topic and hope he does too. Maybe we'll see some new crypto programs coming from Gardenville Software soon.
Early finish tonight. Hasta manana.

By the way, we're excited about LRN5, LRN3, and their respective spouses and/or babies coming to the SUL in December too. If your plans have to change, just send the baby.
And I'll keep my eye out for surplus digital cameras for you. I absolutely love mine, and so does LRN4. I'm not afraid to take a lot of pictures, and it's great to have them immediately on my computer.
Perhaps. But not until my study of cryptography is almost complete - otherwise it will turn up just being less secure than something that already exists. I'm excited to begin, though!
I have DSL and DirecTV, and so far so good. The good thing about it, of course, is that you have a dedicated line instead of a party line with cable, so I'm never competing with anyone else for bandwidth. I have the lowest kind available here, and I think it's fine, but they also have bigger options for speed that probably aren't all that much more expensive. Mine is through Qwest, by the way. And the satellite is only about $25/month since it's bundled. Just thought I'd give my 2-cents on DSL - I haven't had any real problems yet. Well, except for today when I was trying to read an online book that I had to access through the UA library's website so that it could establish my identity as affiliated with an institution. I was also running my webmail and a couple of MS Word documents, and at one point, I just decided to restart the computer because I think the book site was draining all available memory.
So, does the offer stand to just send the baby anytime? How about for the first two years?
And about your horse - I can't help but notice that you rode him bareback, which is always something of a risk. He looks pretty vicious with his mouth open like that. Or maybe just demented.
Correction for LRN5 - he may not have had a bridle, but he definitely had a saddle. I'm no barbarian, you know.
We'll be happy to take the baby any time. Maybe not quite for two years, though...
