Adrian likes things

Mon, 02/29/2016 - 7:59pm

I've said it before -- Adrian can really take a liking to things he sees, and then he wants to grab them. That works fine for toys: he'll get 'angry' until he has the toy in his hands. He especially likes the blue "Happy Birthday" balloon. Yesterday I asked him, "waar is de ballon" and he immediately turned towards the balloon, pretty cool.

The other day Lelya Snezha told me that Adrian's high chair was looking towards the backyard and he got excited -- it turned out he really want to hold... the two doves outside. Yesterday in the playground he had his mind set on a big beach ball that was in another stroller at the other side of the playground.

Four year check-up

Sat, 02/27/2016 - 8:00pm

Nora's 4 year checkup went well. She's healthy and happy.

She had some trouble with the eye tests which we'll follow up on with her ophthalmologist. She couldn't see the "stereo" letter.

There were a few more shots Nora for she didn't cry. From now on she'll only need her annual flu shot until she's ten years old.

And we're back in business!

A week ago the power supply of our server died and it took part of of the hard disk with it. Jaap did an amazing job -- he bought the new server and using a USB stick with the OpenBSD installation media he set up the new server, including partitions and filesystems.

So now we're on OpenBSD 5.8. In the process I switched to Apache 2.4.16 (instead of the custom build of the old Apache 1.x that OpenBSD used to maintain), and from MySQL to MariaDB. The site is now back up and running, with some minor tweaks to be done. The pink error messages will go away.

# uname -a
OpenBSD zolder.fritz.box 5.8 GENERIC.MP#1236 amd64

Leo standing in his high chair

Sat, 02/20/2016 - 7:48pm

Nora used her high chair for about two years. I had always wondered about the straps -- Nora never needed them. Well, last week we learned what they are for: Leo mananged to stand up straight in his chair, and started crawling over his table towards the big table.
