Just on Sunday Ozzy took 7 consecutive steps after standing from a sitting position. Today he did a little more walking around. His confidence is building daily. I also wanted to point out that I love my family. Arniel, Billy, Nicky, and Ozzy. Baby Boy is due in June, and we still haven't settled on a name yet. I've got a few good ideas, but I think this one is all Arniel. I still like Einstein. A few weeks back I got my x10.com camera and techno goodies. So far the wireless video quality leaves a little to be desired, but of course I'm only so far trying to transmit the signal 8 feet below ground into the basement. The lamp modules are fun. I'd like to try out some of the other security and rca connectors (light switches, appliance modules, etc). It's all great fun. I hope to have a 2nd webcam setup on the outside so I can catch the boys playing outside while I'm at work.

Lunarpages - taking your site higher Here is our new web-hosting site. They offer some tremendous hosting packages. Check em out. Last weekend Ozzy turned 1 year old. My, he is growing up fast. He's about to start walking. He's been cruising and crawling like a mad-man. He's constantly trying to keep up with his big brothers and wants to be involved in everything going on. Ozzy has 6 teeth, and has had em for about 4 months now. Been working on new ones, chewing on just about anything and everything, but nothing popping through yet. Nicky and Billy are doing well in home-school. Billy has started reading just about anything he can get his hands on. Nicky is really starting to read well now. He wants to be able to read so he can understand what other kids are typing in games online. Around the house we have been working on small improvements last year and this year. The dining room got a new paint job last year, and just a couple of weeks ago we bought Pergo to replace ...
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Went to the doctor on 5 Feb, 2004 for the 20 week ultra-sound. It's another boy coming to the Braggfamily. Arniel is due around the middle of June. That's gonna make 4 boys. Wowzers.
A blast from the past has grabbed mine and my wifes attention once again. Ultima Online is back on the game to play list. This time we're playing on a free shard called UO Gamers . It has a bit faster skill gain than the original UO, but since that was the worst part of the old OSI Ultima Online, we don't mind the faster skillz. Another game I bought recently for my Xmas present was Neverwinter Nights . I also bougth the expansions. A co-worker put up a persistant world that several other co-workers join in and we can adventure together. It's a lot more fun than I had imagined. I've been playing so much on my co-workers server, I haven't even had time to play the single-player mode which I hear is just as fun.
Welcome To StrangeWays This is my bud Bryan's Website.
Amazing how fast the year goes by. It's November and was starting to feel like it. Leaves are everywhere. I hate having to rake leaves. Maybe it's time to buy the bagger attachment for the tractor/mower. Holloween was great this year. Nicky went as Scooby-doo and Ozzy was a giraffe. Billy was over at bill's house this year, so we're still waiting to see what his costume was. I'm continuing to pack my bags and prepare for my trip East. I love you all, and I'm quite sure I'll return safely.
UPDATED: Updated Broken Link Lookee what I found here: Alton Brown.com I love that show "Good Eats". Who woulda guessed Alton had a web page? Oh well, hope you check it out.
Yesterday Mom and John Pacitti arrived at Richmond International for a week visit. We had dinner at Applebees and hope to take them to Joe's Crab Shack in Fredericksburg, VA . This weekend we're going to hit Fright Fest at and maybe visit some caverns out west near Front Royal. Finally, I set up the new Aiptek digital camera as a Web Cam in my office. Still have a few bugs with it and need to work out a better update method. Anyhow, I'll try to have it turned one when I'm at the computer. Updated: removed link to web cam - It's gone now.

Fall is finally here. Time to bring out the jackets and start decorating for the Fall Season. We just got back from our Florida trip last week. We visited Arnie's mother down in Port Charolotte (about 2 hours south of Orlando). It was a fun trip. The kids also had a good time and went to the pool just about every day. I finally got to visit a Gator Park (Gatorama) and see the alligators and crocodiles. On our trip back home, we drove up A1A coastal highway and drove on the beach in Daytona. We stopped and went through the Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not museum in St. Augistine. Since it was getting late, we took a detour to Jekyll Island, Georgia to find a hotel. We liked having a 2 bedroom condo on the Atlatic Ocean, we extended our stay an extra night and toured the Island and beach before going home. I ended up having to call into work to add an extra day to our vacation, and it was well worth it. Who would have guessed Georgia would have such a nice resort Island.
I thought I would showcase SmoothWall.org today as a top-pick site to check out. SmoothWall.org develops an Open Source Linux based Firewall server. It supports dial-up, to DSL, to Cable-modem for your internet connection. I swear, you are going to love this free server.
