Anyone out there with a child having a hard time learning to ride a bike?
Our son spent almost a year and a half bouncing from one training wheel to the next. He just never could keep the bike up. We tried all kinds of things, but nothing seemed to work. Then we found out about balance bikes. Some research later and I had narrowed it down to either the Trek Float or the GlideBikes GoGlider. The main reason I settled on the [...]
First day back from work after our family’s Easter Campout. We had a great time out at Cedar Hill State Park.
Three of us, my two brother in laws and myself, set out early on Thursday to get things set up. However, we didn’t make it to camp until mid afternoon. We got the tents set up, and then sprayed them down with some water sealer since the forecast called for rain on Friday. (Only some minor leaks, two on [...]
For the last year and a half or so Joshua has been trying to learn how to ride a bike.
We got a starter bike for him from Walmart with training wheels and set off. After several months of that not working we tried this balance bar thing. It attaches like training wheels, but comes up and looks kind of like a huge sissy bar. The parent’s are supposed to be able to hold on while the kid learns his balance.
Six months later still [...]
For the last week we have had the fun of staying at a Hotel in Irving. My father-in-law and Christa have been hosting their 2010 event in Irving.
I took the week off of work to help out. We have the new baby, and most of the time I was running Joshua back and forth to school, and holding Aidan up in the hotel room.
The week started off with me hauling Joshua back and forth to school. He would get to the [...]
Over the last few days I started digging into how to optimize my VPS and WP Blog for speed.
I am normally a MS guy, I have been supporting MS Windows and IIS at work for more then 10 years. Optimizing the OS and IIS for speed comes pretty easily, on Windows. I don’t have a lot of experience with Linux. So I started out by trying to map the different components.
OS – Linux Kernel
Apache
PHP
WP
MySQL
For the OS I am running the hosting providers default [...]
Ok… So I downloaded a new app on my Pre that should let me update my Blog.
So far so good. It can log in, and pull down my entries. Now lets see if it can submit entries.
And with pictures too.. Just some random pictures of Joshua’s soccer cone spiders that he made after a practice:
BTW, it is called Poster. It is in the App Catalog, and here is their site.
Ok, so I have plenty of Ryobi’s 18v One+ Tools, and I recently saw this at Home Depot while browsing through the new Tek4 display. I bought this camera not for me, but for my 5 year old son. You see he loves taking pictures.
For his fourth birthday I bought him the cheapest digital camera I could find at Best Buy. It was a little black and green 4.0mp (I think) camera. He likes to be able to look at the back of [...]
Well, the first non site update related post, but it is still an update post.
On 12/31/2009 at 10:10am CST we had a new addition the family. Little Aidan Wayne Trantham was born. 7.3lbs and 19.5″ long:
He is doing great and all ready gowing like a weed; on 1/4/2010 (just 4 days old) and the Dr’s office measured him at 21″ a gain of 1.5″. This kid is growing…
Long, tall, and skinny. His older brother is going to have cut him off at the [...]
Imagine that… I am actually updating again.
Well, I think the other project, cooptree.com is dead for now.
I have not heard from the developer since before Thanksgiving, it is like he fell off the face of the planet. Looking over the forums at TNG it looks like the Joomla plugin developers have made some headway. It almost has all of the issues resolved that I wanted to have working. If they keep going I may just implement it here and [...]
Few steps forward… few steps back.
Let’s review, list from a while back \ and updates:
1.) Get a decent theme for WP.
Done. I thought. I found a cool theme. Installed it… tweaked the mess out of it… and I like it… but… according to here it sucks. So, I may be looking for a new one soon. I think I am going to live with this one for now, and move on. I will re-visit this after the rest is done.
2.) Customize the theme [...]
