flickr Gallery

July 4th, 2008

thanks to the interweb, flickrViewer and a little help from some friends, i found a nifty little photo gallery application that incorporates my newly established flickr account and photosets. i will be updating that on a regular basis you can go to the flickr account or you can view the photo galleries on my website at: www.tdotcom.net/about/gallery/

baby appointment v T minus 4weeks

June 16th, 2008

Katie, budha, at 30 weeksjust a quick update, had another appointment this morning and things are progressing wonderfully. katie has one more week before she goes on maternity leave from work (at which time i’m sure she’ll continue her ‘nesting’)… exciting times at the Tarasewicz household.

update:
i’ve gotten a couple requests for photos… and well, this is what i’ve got so far (katie’ll probably not appreciate it too much), that’s what’s been goin on here and now it’s time for me to go put momma to bed!

a stumbling gem

June 16th, 2008

i came across this post at just the right time, i used this in a web application that i’ve been working on for PF and am really enjoying the simplicity of the concept. i say thanks Janko!

how can you not be excited?

June 12th, 2008

maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I’m excited about the first full release of firefox 3! and i might just be a part of history… if you feel like you’re the kind of person who might be world record material, read more at the Spread FireFox web site.

I’ve been using the beta and RC1-3s of FireFox 3 (FF3), but a lot of the very useful add-ons that i use haven’t been upgraded for FF3 yet, so i’m very excited for this release, so that the developers can update the add-ons for FF3, especially the theme designers (i miss Noia, it feels so weird with another theme, when it’s my computer).

for those completely lost, firefox is a web browser. a far superior web browser than IE. it’s faster, standards compliant, safer, open source and has the backing of millions if not billions of geeks around the world. the add-ons are extremely useful (especially for a computer geek like myself) and greatly reduces the time it takes to find issues in a website (for the early stages in design and for tweakings towards the end). if there weren’t a handful of stupid websites that actually require IE, i’d completely ditch it. however, i am not so lucky. sign up for the download and prepare to surf like you’ve never surfed before…

baby appointment v37.0

June 10th, 2008

just a quick note to everyone… we had another appointment today and we will be having them weekly (cuz that’s what you do when you reach this point, apparently). i’ll try to post more often, although i’ve noticed that the majority of the postings - had i posted every visit - would be similar to this one:

everything is normal, good and progressing wonderfully! i took photos of katie the other night, i’ll have to post them… (she’s gotta big ole belly now)

it was actually quite humorous, after i took the photos of her we looked back at some of the previous photos we’d taken of her when she was about 20 or 25 weeks… and she thought she had a big belly then, my how things change :)

p.s. if you’ve checked out the latest found web comic and started reading from strip one, you might understand why i’ve suddenly obtained a newfound want to play quake…

stumbling is an art form

June 9th, 2008

i came across this lil gem from a not-so-new web comic… it’s a techy, geeky lil bit of web comicing that just happens to be a favorite of mine… anyway, this comic was originally posted January 1, 1998… i think Nostradamus himself had a hand in this one…

…accurate indeed!
