Sophia sure is a sweetheart

27431
Last night Heather had a meeting with some people from church. They convened at our house so it was my duty to distract the kids enough to allow them to have their meeting with as little interruption as possible. At first we just played with toys, but obviously an almost 2 year old is going to want to show off as much as possible when any visitors are around. So our old stand-by came out. Since the living room was used and the TV off limits, this left with using the laptop to watch either Finding Nemo, Cars, or Kikis Delivery Service, possibly Toy Story. After starting the movie we went to her bedroom and I brought her foam princess chair (a tiny pink chair with disney princesses on it). She chose cars.

We started the movie and I found it a convenient time to take a nap. She was completely enthralled, so I didn't think anything of it. Apparently while I was falling asleep she I had bumped up against her princess chair. I felt a pat on my shoulder and heard her say, "shhhh, Love you daddy." Which when we're putting her to bed seems to be our ritual. When she's making noise we'll say, "shhh, night night, love you Sophia." When I roused after a few minutes I looked and Sophia had moved her chair over to give me room. She smiled at me and gave me a hug then went back to mimicking storyline elements from cars.

    Oh, that is sweet! Coherant speech adds so much to a relationship.

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
