Recovering

Sun, 06/10/2007 - 5:53pm

The plant I brought home from work seems to be doing slightly better and it hasn't lost as many leaves anymore the last few days. I've placed it next to a window in the living room where it gets plenty of sunlight. I am under the (unproven) impression that the lack of unfiltered sunlight in our office was the cause of the plant's problems. We'll see.

Because of the incredibly beautiful and sunny weather I have the water our plants almost every day.

Jason, a colleague, and his wife Liza were blessed with a baby son, Gabriel Louis last week. Congratulations!

This weekend I played with some software for work, experimenting with a Java client for a C++ server. They work nicely together. I expected that, but it's always nice to see that it actually works in practice.

Heat

Fri, 06/08/2007 - 11:02pm

It was really warm today, around 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 in Celcius). I went running late at night to evade the heat, but even at 10.30 pm it was still 85 degrees and it's very humid.

Tomorrow is the Race for the Cure in which Petra will participate. Let's hope that it won't be too hot and humid. Good luck Petra!

A plant's new home

Wed, 06/06/2007 - 9:23pm

A plant's new home.It certainly wasn't for the lack of love or attention from my co-workers, but unfortunately my new plant wasn't doing very well at my desk.

For a few weeks now it has been losing leaves, and while in the beginning I thought that the plant had to get adjusted to its new home (our office) it became clear that it was fundamentally unhappy. I think the main reason is that the windows are tinted, and not enough natural light makes it through to the plant.

So today after work I placed it in the car and drove it home. We still have to decide where we'll place it, but I hope it will do better here.
