1	Roomba Repaired Our 2nd Roomba 535 started spinning in circles a couple of months ago. After a little research, and a copy of the service manual, it seemed the left IR bumper sensor had failed. The Roomba thought something was always in it's way on the left. I found a ...	May 14, 2011 7:06:00 PM
2	Do It Yourself "You no help me now...I say screw you Jobu. I do it myself." That is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Major League. Pedro Cerrano, having stuck up for, prayed to, and even made offerings of rum to his deity in an effort to hit the ...	Mar 1, 2011 6:00:00 PM

5	Master Lock Rocks Unlike my Time Warner experience, my communication with Master Lock was outstanding to the point they have a lifelong customer for any lock needs I will ever have. In June '09 I purchased a set of three vinyl-coated weatherproof locks for our pool gates, ...	Aug 23, 2009 4:19:00 PM

7	Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog I'm a little late to the party on this, but I'm glad I discovered Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. It seems during writers strikes, Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly fame is not idle. Done on a shoe-string budget and released on the web ...	Oct 26, 2008 8:58:00 AM
8	Fan Edits Recently, I've been checking out the fan edit community. These are fans that are otherwise unhappy with a movie in it's original form or even a Director's Cut. These folks love their movie of choice and re-edit it such that it's seamless, professional, ...	Aug 17, 2008 3:46:00 PM
9	Roomba Revolution Based on a trustworthy recommendation and some research, we purchased a Roomba, made by iRobot. It is quite possibly the most useful gizmo we've ever purchased. This little robot vacuum is a wonder. It is about 15" round (a good size dinner plate) ...	Apr 12, 2008 3:54:00 PM
10	Dead Wipers I'm driving home from work this Friday and about half way home my windshield wipers start going slower...and slower...and stop. I'm pretty sure my wiper motor is dead. Time for a trip to Potsdam Tire & Auto to get what I'm sure will be at least a ...	Feb 2, 2008 12:43:00 PM

13	Back To Normal The site is back after a big server upgrade and a switch over to a new blog engine. Pebble is quite a powerful Blogger application and a snap to setup. The longest part of the downtime was for me to design a custom theme for Pebble to match the web page. ...	Nov 10, 2007 7:47:00 PM
14	Outages The battery backup that serves the electronics has been having a problem, one that we were finally able to catch it doing. It was power cycling the electronics on and off in a spiral of electronic death. I don't know how the router, VOIP, and switch ...	Aug 29, 2007 3:53:00 PM
15	Blogs Are Here Blogs Are Here One of my vacation projects is what you see here: to convert parts of this website to a blog engine. Since I use OS X server, it seems logical to use it's built-in blog engine which is based on Blojsom. http://www.blojsom.c...	Aug 17, 2007 3:47:00 PM
