So some really crappy weather pushed through our area last night, and the winds caused us to lose power several times. At first it was blinking in and out then it just went out period for about 25 minutes. It came back up stayed on for about half an hour, then went out again for around an hour, and finally stayed back on for the rest of the night.

The funny thing is my wife was trying to watch a dvd and the power went out everytime she tried to start watching it. The first time it came back on for about half an hour she waited to see if the power was going to stay on and of course about the time the power went back out she had just decided to try again. Once the power finally came back on for good we waited quite sometime before bothering to try and do anything that used power. The other odd thing that happened was, while my wife and i were playing cards waiting for the power to come back on, I for some strange reason decided to hum the song the dart board plays everytime it gets power back and at that exact same moment the power came back and the dart board started playing its song, freaky.

 

What a way to start off the new year. As most of you know Trish and I have been getting up at 5am to go to the gym in the morning before we go to work, and I've gotten up to running three miles every other day. Well we got up this morning and went to the gym and I got through almost two miles of my three mile run and all of a sudden there was a pop like something hit the back of my leg and pain shooting up my leg. I was afraid that maybe I tore something because I can put weight on my heal but not at all on the ball of my foot, but after talking with a friend of ours it looks like I just pulled a muscle and I'll need to spend the next week heating and icing my leg.

First Post! well first post take two anyways. As some of you may know, this is TahutiNet 2.0, and that I originally had this site up back at the beginning of this year. That first attempt at what I wanted for a website was horrible, I tried using Joomla [joomla.org] but it was overkill for what I needed and I never could get around to getting the functionality working the way I wanted much less the design of the site. I think, atleast for me, that they tried to dumb it down so much for people who know little to nothing about web design and development ,that for someone that knows what their doing, it's just to convoluted and takes to much time to get just what I needed.

So forward all the way the present, and I've found a great Content Management System (CMS) that I've already used to build sites for several clients. The software I found was CMS Made Simple [cmsmadesimple.org]. This is a great Open Source [wikipedia.org] product that is simple enough to get a new site up and running fast yet flexible enough to add just about any functionality you may need into a website.

So enough about that already, I'm hoping to start using this site to post about things going on in my life, the world, and whatever else there may be. While I don't hold delusions of grandeurs and think that people will flock to this site just to see what I have to see, I know there are people out there (that means you dad) that will bother to read my postings, and possibly, gasp!, even care.
