(almost) http://hickeyhoo.net/mtnest/2010/06/05/owens-three-almost/ http://hickeyhoo.net/mtnest/2010/06/05/owens-three-almost/#comments Sun, 06 Jun 2010 03:53:43 +0000 Ma http://hickeyhoo.net/mtnest/?p=1722 Today we celebrated Owen’s birthday (a few days early).    It was a rainy day (on and off all day; from sprinkles to downpours), but we had a good time.  Kate, Anna, Caleb and Owen had fun playing, setting off bottle poppers, and opening presents.  Owen and Anna licked the cake before we sang “Happy Birthday” . . . this is why Owen’s face looks a little blue in some of the photos.  We finished with Owen defending Caleb from Nate — Owen returned from the bedroom wearing boxing gloves and proceeded to deliver a major whooping to his much older (by 20  years) cousin Nathan.

Almost 2 weeks into my Windows (Vista) (re)trial, I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) and it’s good to be back. Windows Explorer (the desktop manager, not the browser) had begun crashing a couple times a day, and the only recovery was a reboot. Since Microsoft won’t allow free upgrade to Windows7, I’m just glad to have an alternative that works well . . . make that REALLY well.
