			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a mix up with our pieces being combined with the boys personal creations which made playing <a href="http://george.lego.com/en-us?icmp=COFranchiseUSGeorge">Life of George</a> difficult.</p>
<p>So I went to <a href="http://lego.com">lego.com</a> hoping to find a published parts list for the set.  Unfortunately, LEGO does not publish a parts list with quantities.  They do have a list of <a href="http://us.service.lego.com/en-US/replacementparts/default.aspx">replacement parts</a> though.  You&#8217;ll have to put your age in and then use set 21200 to see them.</p>
<p>So with the above list of pieces, Guy and I figured out the quantities to put our set back in order.</p>
<ul>
<li>Quantity 8 &#8211; Brick 1&#215;2 (3004)
<ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After upgrading my brides iPhone 3GS to iOS 4 and getting my new iPhone 4, I noticed that Google Calendar was now only syncing our primary calendars.  After several attempts at trying to get all the calendars to sync, I&#8217;ve finally found a solution.</p>
<p>YMMV, but this is what has worked for me.</p>
<ol>
<li>Starting with no accounts on the phone.</li>
<li>Add a new Gmail account (this is for your email, I don&#8217;t sync contacts)</li>
<li>Add a new Exchange account (this is for your calendar).</li>
<li>Open Calendar and validate that it is pulling down your primary calendar.  Close calendar.</li>
<li>Follow these <a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&#038;answer=139206">instructions</a> from Google.
<ol>
<li>I had multiple &#8220;devices&#8221; listed, and chose the device that had the most current &#8220;Last sync&#8221; date/time.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Close Safari</li>
<li>Open Settings</li>
<li>Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars
<ol>
<li>Open Fetch New Data</li>
<ol>
<li>Turn Push On</li>
<li>Open Advanced
<ol>
<li>Set your Calendars to Push</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<li>Close Settings</li>
<li>Open Calendar and wait for it to sync
<ol>
<li>I had to force quit calendar from the &#8220;running&#8221; programs dock and then re-open calendar before it would start to sync with the new settings.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am still getting used to the new iPhone but overall I am pleased. the ability to let the boys watch a movie has already come in handy. downloading applications could get me in trouble with amy so I will have to pace myself. </p>
<p>one thing that so far has surprised me is at&#038;t&#8217;s cellular coverage. I was not expecting it to be so good. what shocked me was that I am getting better coverage now than I was with sprint. granted I have only stayed in the city, but for my day-to-day usage this is a big positive. data speed has been okay and I only hope that it gets better once Omaha goes 3g. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>after being a sprint customer for ~10 years, i am leaving them to give at&#038;t a shot.  i&#8217;m doing this for a few reasons.</p>
<ul>
<li>i do not travel for work anymore, so coverage is not as big an issue as it was</li>
<li>my sprint contract is up, and i can keep my number</li>
<li>i no longer call anyone that is on sprint, other than amy</li>
<li>i have had &#8220;issues&#8221; with sprint customer support</li>
<li>at&#038;t and verizon have better coverage at the in-laws</li>
<li>iphone 3g is at at&#038;t</li>
</ul>
<p>at&#038;t has said they are upgrading omaha to 3g before the end of the year, which &#8220;should&#8221; help with their coverage around here.</p>
<p>so today, i stopped by the at&#038;t store and &#8220;reserved&#8221; my iphone and did all the preliminary &#8220;paperwork&#8221;.  i will get everything switched over on friday.</p>
<p>i am not converting the family completely over, amy&#8217;s and the &#8220;home&#8221; phone contracts are not over until february.  if all goes well with my conversion, we will move both of them at that time.  if not i guess she can be a guinea pig with verizon.</p>

<p>i have aspirations of sharing our printer through it as well as picking up a raid 1 array for the household backups, but will need to get the home network &#8220;ironed&#8221; out first.  if you have do&#8217;s/don&#8217;t around this please clue me in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i have finally taken the time to get <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software)">subversion</a> installed and running on my <a href="http://www.bluehost.com/">bluehost</a> account.  what follows are the steps i took.  these steps assume that you have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell">ssh</a> access and your account is on a 64-bit server.</p>
<p>ssh into your account and create a directory to store all of the sources:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >mkdir src<br />
cd src</div>
<p>next download the sources for subversion:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2<br />
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2</div>
<p>untar and extract the sources:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >tar -xjvf subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2<br />
tar -xjvf subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2</div>
<p>lets start with getting the dependencies configured, built and then installed:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >cd subversion-1.5.2<br />
cd apr<br />
./configure &#8211;enable-shared &#8211;prefix=$HOME<br />
make<br />
make install</p>
<p>cd ../apr-util<br />
./configure &#8211;enable-shared &#8211;prefix=$HOME &#8211;with-expat=builtin &#8211;with-apr=$HOME &#8211;without-berkeley-db<br />
make<br />
make install</p>
<p>cd ../neon<br />
export EXTRA_CFLAGS=&#8221;-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC&#8221;<br />
export CFLAGS=&#8221;-L/usr/lib64 -fPIC&#8221;<br />
./configure &#8211;enable-shared &#8211;prefix=$HOME &#8211;with-libs=$HOME<br />
make<br />
make install</p></div>
<p>now configure, build and install subversion:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >cd ..<br />
./configure &#8211;prefix=$HOME &#8211;with-apr=$HOME &#8211;with-apr-util=$HOME &#8211;with-neon=$HOME \<br />
&#8211;without-berkeley-db &#8211;without-apxs &#8211;without-apache &#8211;without-serf<br />
make<br />
make install</div>
<p>now edit your .bash_profile in the $HOME directory and replace:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >PATH=$PATH</div>
<p>with:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin</div>
<p>and save the file.  now either &#8220;<a href="http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5165/source-1?a=view">source</a> .bash_profile&#8221; or logout and then back in.</p>
<p>verify subversion is working:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >svn &#8211;version</div>
<p>and should see something similar to:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >svn, version 1.5.2 (r32768)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i&#8217;ve casually looked at the game of <a href="http://usgo.org/">go</a> for a couple years, never getting further than saying &#8220;i&#8217;d like to learn that.&#8221;  well, i&#8217;ve taken the leap and have started learning.  i am by no means good, and i am very much a beginner.  i am having fun though.  i&#8217;ve found a few books to help with my learning.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://www.usgo.org/usa/waytogo/">the way to go</a><br />
- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Go-Basics-Concepts-Strategies-Players/dp/0804836884/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1218757928&#038;sr=1-10">go basics</a><br />
- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Go-Charles-Matthews/dp/0071429778/ref=pd_sim_b_47">teach yourself go</a><br />
- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Way-Moving-Horse-Learn-Play/dp/0964479621/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1218757928&#038;sr=1-1">learn to play go</a><br />
- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Go-Beginners-Kaoru-Iwamoto/dp/0394733312/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1218757928&#038;sr=1-2">go for beginners</a></p>
<p>i hope that one or all of these will start me on the right path learning this game.  i&#8217;ve also played a couple games on <a href="http://www.gokgs.com/">kgs</a> and was very humbled.  if you see me on kgs, ask me (legobuff) to play, but please realize i am new to this so do not expect a challenge.</p>
