  • Moving URLs

    Well I finally took the plunge and moved my website from the Dynamic Domain Name Service that I had been using – TZO to a full fledged top level domain: chriskelley.org. I used Go Daddy to buy my domain (I guess all those adds on Geek News Central and Gillmor Gang finally got to me!)…

  • Taking a break for a few weeks…

    …I bought an X-BOX 360 over the weekend. Just couldn’t resist anymore. Was in Best Buy over the weekend and saw a few premiums just sitting on the shelf. Only have one game, Project Gotham Racing, but so far it is definitely a step up from my PS2. It’s so good it’s making me want…

  • Microsoft WPC Day 1 – not much to report

    Arrived in Boston this morning for my 4th Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. The trip up was uneventful except for running into the Dad on one of Kendall’s classmates at school…who was piloting our plane! Headed to the Hotel (the very nice Westin Waterfront) and had a few conference calls to attend to. After those were…

  • Fininshed the treehouse

    Well the treehouse I promised to Mason on his birthday is finally done. I spent the good part of 4 days over the 4th of July Holiday working on it, but it is done and I think both he and Kendall really like it. It’s just on the edge of being too high at 14′…

  • New plugin for WordPress

    Just got this new plugin for wordpress that helps create links in posts. It creates a new tag that you can use to auto link text to gada.be searches. One thing I have been trying to figure out is how to link more in my posts. This should help me in that.

  • Training

    This has been one hell of a week so far.  I left home on Sunday to go to 3 days of management training.  I was a little skeptical, but it ended up being one of the best 3 days of training I have ever gone through.  UGS has decided to invest in a leadership development…

  • Some themed posts coming up

    If there are any regular readers out there you will have realized by now that there hasn’t been much a of a theme to this blog since I started.  It has always been a place for me to keep track of what is going on at any one point in time and share things with…

  • Welcome Levi

    Well our heard doubled in size yesterday.  We welcomed Spring for a Partee (aka Levi) to our farm after picking him up in Indiana.  We searched for almost 3 months before finding him and we could be happier.  He is a APHA registered paint with a bald face and one blue and one brown eye. …
