Basement Remodel — Waterproofing Day 2

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Day 2 went rather smoothly. By midmorning they had filled in the holes with the drainage tile and the rocks.  They also had rerun the sump pump outside too.  I am not sure why but it stunk really bad while doing all this.

After their lunch break, they finished laying the concrete.  I have to admit that I am impressed with the work that was done.  It looks great and this should solve all of our water issues.

Sony Mommy Bloggers Event Part I

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

So far it has been pretty exciting.  The plane ride here sucked.  It was four and half hours with screaming kids.  I made it through it though.  LOL  They had a limo pick me up.  It was pretty cool.  I got to baggage claim and the driver was standing there with a sign with my name on it.  I probably will never have that happen again, but it still was super awesome.  We are staying at La Valencia Hotel and this place rocks.  I highly recommend it to anyone staying San Diego.  I have an ocean view room.  I can literally lay in bed, open my balcony doors, and watch the waves.  Sony also provided in our rooms some chocolate and a rose.  We also were given gift certificates for dinner.  I had fillet mignon.  It melted in mouth, that’s how good it was.  Even though I didn’t order dessert, I tried my fellow bloggers desserts and they were to die for.  So far, this trip has been awesome.  Tomorrow should be another fun day.  We get to play with the cameras that we are getting.  They have us going from 9 am – 9 pm, so hopefully, I will get a chance to blog somewhere in there.

EntreDroppers

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Have you heard of Entrecard before? If you are a blogger, its one of those sites that makes you excited like when you were in high school and found the best acne treatment ever. Seriously, Entrecard drives a fair amount of traffic to your site. However, they recently have gone through some changes that all the users don’t agree with. I won’t get into that since everything can change again in a day or two.

Instead, this post is about Owen and how awesome he is. Owen has written a plugin called EntreDroppers for us WP users. You can see it working in my sidebar (Its called Latest EntreDroppers). All you have to do is input your RSS feed from your Entrecard inbox, and that’s it!  You can tweak it to look like you want — descriptions after blogs, number of blogs showing, etc.  I have mine to show the last ten blogs to drop on me.

Give a shout out to Owen and let him know he rocks and download his plugin!

Who Blew Up My Hard Drive?

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

All I have to say is that the last person who touched my old laptop was Bill.

For those of you who don’t know, I bought a new laptop before I went to Miami because of issues I was having.  However, I haven’t had a chance to get everything off the old one yet.  Bad move on my part.  Now, we keep getting a weird error.  From doing a search, I pretty much figured out it is the hard drive.  I am too afraid of losing my data, so I am not messing around with it too much.  Unfortunately, that means I have to go bring it into the shop to get it fixed.  The really bad thing is that I couldn’t get the Money file to transfer over.  That is bad, because it has my tax information for last year on it.  I need to access this!!!! <deep breathing> Ok, my computer place rocks, so I know they’ll be able to fix it.  They usually charge me less than their posted prices since this will be the 3rd time this laptop has gone into them.   Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Owen Rocks!

See the cool little gadget thingy over in the sidebar —> Its called latest comments. Owen has been helping me all day to get this to work. Pretty cool, huh?

I have been taking his advice for how to get more comments on your site. This plugin was part of his advice. I have also added top commentators. Please let me know what you guys think. Should I keep both? Only go with one? Let me know your thoughts!
