Hearst Elementary - San Diego - Save Our Sycamore Tree - The Webshots Slideshow Hearst Elementary is having some expansion work done that may be crowding out this 50 year old Sycamore tree. Some teachers, students, and parents have rallied to see if there's something that can be done to save it. And I guess it received somewhat of a reprieve this weekend. I don't have the full story on this, maybe someone else reads this, does, and can post some more information in the Comment [] section below. Here are some pictures I took of the tree and student messages after posting boy's on the fence with the others. Click the picture or link above to see the rest...
There's a Comment [] link below if you've got something to share about this tree, that tree, or any ol' tree you know. |

San Carlos Little League On-Line Registration A Qualified Success On-Line registrants for the San Carlos Little League (http://SanCarlosLittleLeague.com) have gone over the 50 player mark and continue to come in, even as the first of two consecutive in-person sign-ups has been completed. The on-line goal this first year was 50, so we're past that. Now it will be interesting to see what the effects of on-line registration are on the rest of the pre-season activities...folks registering on-line need to bring proof of residency for validation at their first event...something that has in the past been done at in-person registration. Let's hope it doesn't create more headaches than it helps, what with having to do this paper work at skill evaluations and try-outs. Note to self: email all of the on-line registrants with instructions like those on our Registration page. 11:06:56 PM  comment [] Google It!

80 GB Looking Like 8, A Drama In Real Life. A Computer Slower Than Molasses. The sole computer in this house, a 1997 Dell, has been steadily on the downhill road due to a exhausted hard drive with minimal disc space available for it to do it's necessary virtual memory swapping thing it does and thus it runs slowly. Oooohhhh soooooo sloooooowwwwwly. So I'm in the middle of surgery to augment with Gigs galore to store pictures, video, and more...and to free the system hard drive up for system stuff. Like actually running. Here's the current situation. Dell Dimensions XPS D233. BIOS A04. New Western Digital 80GB Hard Drive installed on existig EIDE as new Slave to existing hard drive Master. BIOS recognizes drive as slave, but only 8400 MB (8.4 GB, I believe). Win 2K is yet to see it. The 8.4 GB Barrier doesn't seem to be a new problem and they've got some answers. Looks like I could use a BIOS upgrade to recognize the size, and a Data Lifeguard which must be run to format / ready the hard drive for use (I guess). Just need to create a couple of floppy boot disks to get both of those installed and runing, oh MY FLOPPY IS NOT WORKING! Now I'm totally hosed because none of the vendors mentions how you do this if you boot from your CD-ROM drive. Can I create a bootable CD? What files to I need on it for the BIOS Upgrade? What files do I need on it for the new drive formatting / readying / whatever? Ugh. Help!
I guess this isn't going to happen tonight, or anytime soon based on my current freetime during the week. Let's see if this very necessary surgery can be completed piece meal. It only gets harder, pushing this old horse further. OK. Closing shop for the night. |
