Administrivia: known problems with the site

Just a heads up that the photos link is broken, though if you go directly to a given gallery/album/photo via tags on the main home page or some other mechanism then that works fine.  I'm looking into how to fix it (it's seems to be a site/SQL problem) but no luck yet.  Related to that, things in general seem a bit slower and I'm trying to figure out if something has changed or a possible source of this...  I'll post when these have been addressed but it'll probably be a bit :(

Hmmm, maybe the DB clean-ups that I did last night just took a while to work through the system.  Things seem fairly responsive and the photos main page are working now.

they clean things up for the radio (and other random comments)

Random updates for a Sunday night...

We went to see the live version of A Prarie Home Companion on Friday at Marymoor...  I must say I was a bit suprised at how many of the jokes were sex related.  Apparently once they're not on radio you don't have to clean the act up as much...  That said, very good times all around - what a great way to spend a nice summer evening.

Holy crap am I not able for heat anymore.  10 years ago 90 degrees was nothing.  Well, it was warm, but you had AC.  These days it's killing me - maybe I need to rethink the move to Hawaii :)

Gardening and lawn care.  Apparently once the grass goes dormant you don't really have to cut it anymore.  Great news for us :).  But the plants that can pull through without water?  Those are better known as "weeds"...  We finally got around to pulling and cutting a bunch of weeds in the backyard and now I'm just timing how long it will take for them to re-grow.  I say give it two weeks and we'll be back out there :(.

Football season is back (kind of) and I'm splitting tickets again - hadn't bothered in the last year (two?).   I went to the game on Saturday and it turns out it's a lot more hassle to get to the game when you can't just hop a 20 minute bus from Eastlake...  In other news, I'm pretty sure there were almost no starters playing, but our back-ups are looking pretty ready. 

I'll fully admit that at times I'm a weather geek (I think I got it from my Mom who loves knowing about the weather).  I like to know what the temp is inside, outside, other side of the yard, etc. etc...  So, of course, the other day I bought one of those thermometers with wireless nodes that you can sprinkle around.  Somehow I lost one of them.  It's in a box.  Or outside (where it's supposed to be).  Or in a drawer.  It's SOMEWHERE.  Wherever it is, that place is ~15 degrees cooler than where the reciever is located.  Not only do I want the reciever back, I also want to know where this cool location is :)
