"OW" is not its name

24864|360
Phoebe has a bad habit of taking her delicate, sweet hands and doing horrible damage. She will grab at your face or neck, but mostly the neck, and squeeze, twist, or pull at your skin. For anyone who this has happened to (mostly me) then you would know it hurts--really, really bad. Typically she will grab my neck and of course my immediate response, and pretty much only response is, "Ow!" and then repeated multiple times until I can unhinge her hands from my poor skin. I am also in the process of teaching Phoebe various body parts, like mouth, nose, hands, feet, etc. However, without any prompting from me she grabs her neck and says "ow." I have told her 'neck' many times, but for now it is still "ow." For the sake of my neck I hope not.....

    That is so funny!! When Yoroko was learning to talk we'd ask her if she wanted her "cup cup cup" (don't ask why we repeated it, it was a weird parental thing) and eventually she would ask for her "puck" because she'd picked up on the p-c sound instead of the c-p sound. How funny that Phoebe calls it 'ow'!

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...
