I went to lunch with a neighbor today at the Typhoon restaurant underneath the AON building. It was not a good lunch as she is so hard to talk to, plus she just had a big fight with one of her old friends, the person is also my friend too. I feel very difficult in between as she wants to mention the other girl’s name all the time. I have been calling her a few times and she did not even call back once, (maybe once) I know that she is not talking to me on purpose, but this is not right to me and also we know lots of people together in the neighborhood, anyways, I decided not to be friends with her again, or maybe she has never treated me as a friend.

My husband is always interested in grandfather clocks, every time when we go to China, he will be look around for some nice and interesting grandfather clocks. Some of those he got very cheap, and lots of them are not really working. Recently a friend told us that you could get grandfather clocks on line, they have lots of pictures with very detailed descriptions. Their collection is big with different brand, there lots of the grandfather clocks are on sale, some of those are priced 50% off or more. You could also call their customer support for questions and they give professional advices.

I have started to think about the education of my two girls, especially after watching the movie “Juno”. To hear the teenagers talking to each other by using the language and to have sex so easy make me feel scared. I want to be friends with my daughters and at the same time I like them to listen to me. Although they are still very young right now, but sometimes I could feel that it is so hard to make Elizabeth listen to me, just for very small things. So if anyone have any good recommendations of how to teach your kids to behave, I would be happy to listen.

I learned autism from a co worker a couple of years ago. She found out her 3 years old was autism at that time, she told me a lot about special school and lots of work to care for her and try to help her get better. The earlier you discovered in the childhood, the better. I have been sponsor her for autism walk in Chicago for a couple of years now. From the walk I found out that there are lots of kids have the disease. And we all need to donate a little of our money to help them to find cure. Firstgiving.com as the best and easiest place to raise money to fight autism online for the important nonprofit causes you care about. Firstgiving has already helped tens of thousands of people raise millions of dollars for thousands of nonprofit organizations. I found that Mike Collins has raised $400 out of $3,500 this year, so let us all help him to reach his goal.

We had a nice plane ride home from Las Vegas yesterday, both kids and myself were so tired, the kids have slept for more than 2 hours, if Lydia did not try to poke Elizabeth on the plane, I am sure she could sleep longer. This is our first time to fly US Airways and compare to United, it is not as bumpy and the landing was very smooth too. We arrived earlier than our schedule so we had to wait on the run way for 30 minutes.

EWEPS: Eric Warren Frost World Wide Web Experimental Projects Server

Welcome to the EWF WWW Experimental Projects Server (EWEPS). This site is intended to be a platform for my exploration of web technologies and as such parts may appear broken at times, I do not intend to put little construction zone icons anywhere, so be forewarned.

EWEPS is running on Windows 2000. If you'd like to try to hack this site or server I request that you let me know and I will let you let you put a message and/or link (in good taste) on the top of the page, so please start hacking.

Successful hacks

None so far. Impress your friends, be a star -- be the first to make EWEPS go oops!

Update: The /var/log directory was found to be mysteriously missing on January 3, 2000 and certain services (like httpd!) would fail to start... Jon reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Linux -- we have applied all the security updates this time.

Update 2: Puppy has been running solid like a rock since, well, that Blaster SQL worm or whatever its name was. We've done fairly well keeping ourselves updated though I will admit not having done much hardening. Heck for all I know I am already a "zombie" for spammers etc though I doubt it.

Interesting tidbits and news

My e-mail ISP, Voyager.net, did not renew the cnsnet.com domain (which I have used for e-mail the past several years) so I snuck in and bought it out from under them. Not sure how Network Solutions handles this or how Voyager.net will respond. I hope to see my name on the Whois information in the next day or so.. check it out here.

EWEPS Showcase

This will be a bunch of junk where I try out different web stuff. Too get started, here's a animated gif map showing my building.

     Statler

The first is the eggdrop bot which sits in #muppeteer on EFFNet. Statler will generate pages related to conversation that appears in the channel and also periodically create other pages like to look up the weather and check the MapInfo stock price, meaningless, idiotic stuff like that. Here's a Java IRC client so you can say hi to Statler yourself! [Ed. note: Statler's been let go due to lack of IP addresses.. he may find a home via a host under hrandassociates.com in the near future.]

     Current Weather

This jpg is generated on-the-fly by my home weather radar kit and mapping software. You may link to this image in your own home page with my permission.

Also, here's an experimental Java animated version. This will take some moments to load.

Lots of learned and clever elves crafting magic with SVG, developed and maintained by a short, skinny guy who sleeps on my couch (not kidding).

Humor

This might be a collection of e-mail forwards, mini-games and images, links to other sites, etc. of stuff that amuses me and might amuse (or offend) you. For starters, here's some stuff. Featured item is Stress Relief.

Life Tip

"There is no need to slump through life with a bad back. Massage chairs can give you daily relief in a way that no other piece of home furniture can. But a couple of minutes every day probably isn't enough if you aren't sleeping in a way that is conducive to caring for you spine. A foam mattress will conform to the shape of your particular body, and cradle you for a perfect night's rest."

This is the start of my portable 'Favorites' list.

About me

I am about 6'3" and like to swim. I might put a picture here, as well as a resume.

My e-mail address was on the top but since some people may feel dizzy without a blurb at the bottom for balance and to list a contact person here it is: e-mail.
