Hal — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:00:12 +0000

Looks like I might sell my domain name. thefourthroom.com so I’m relocate my blog and personal website to my profile page on Borlandtech.com.

I hope to put a portfolio of projects that I’ve done along with general going ons here.

Windstream DSL = EPIC FAIL

Hal — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:21:39 +0000

Ok I’m going to start documenting each time I lose my Internet service that is provided by Windstream.
Every time it rains I lose my DSL connection and by the time the Tech gets to the house everything is dry and it is back on-line.
I also lose the dial tone on the phone line. They have checked inside the house and at the box on the side of the house and we are clear from that location.

I don’t get angry very easy but this is getting to be an issue. I have a few projects that are coming due and it looks like it is going to rain for the next 3 or 4 days. So I will be with out Internet during my peak work times again.

This is a list of the drop and connection times of my DSL since the 1st of June.

Site of the Week. Oct. 26th, 2008

Hal — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:44:18 +0000

Welcome to “Site of the Week!”

I was looking for something that I had seen on Robot Chicken awhile ago to show Robert DePriest. The clip was about the Five Stages of Grief. So I went to the all power full interwebz. After a quick search the top link went to a site called www.robotchicken.org where I found the Site of the Week.

Now that I had found the clip that I was wanting to show Robert, I can look for a few more Robot Chicken gems. To my surprise this site has quite a few of the clips from the show.

Check it out. It’s good for a laugh when you are down in the dumps.

Till next time….

Stolen Plant?

Hal — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:39:19 +0000

Wow! That is strange.

Becky asked me to come look at something earlier today, so I went outside to look. When we went to bed last night we had 4 mums out on in the front. But as I could clearly see today that there were only 3 now.

Now that is some easy math that even Abby can do, but what confuses me the most is why would someone take a mum from in front of our house. We don’t have any young rambunctious teens in our neighborhood. This is very puzzling due to the fact that my New Trek 7300 FX was no more that 10 feet from the plant.
I have been thinking of some things that might of happened. Here are my best guesses.

Someone driving by remembered that they needed a birthday gift for their mother or grandmother.
Someones mother or grandmother was driving by on the way to get some mums, and decided to save some gas and money and just take ours.
After the Ole Miss and Razorback game last night, Houston Dale Nutt was on his way back to Oxford decided to show the Razorback Nation a thing or two, and since the officals and Nutt had just stolen a great game. Why not get some mums on the way back?

I guess we will never know.
