MSN Censoring???

Ooookay, this is weird: Try IM'img someone with the following URL on MSN: http://2www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php Guess what? It won't go through. Take the b-word out, though, and it does. Or change the domain. Do they have some weird URL censor?? I'm using Adium on the Mac, so I'm pretty sure the censor's not there. My wife has MSN on Windows, though, so it's possible that it's her MSN client (no, we don't have any parental controls on the computer - there's only adults in the house). Very weird. AIM works just fine for the URL, though...

Recent stuff

So, christmas is over. Like I said in my last posting, I got a PDA (HP rx1955, btw). Tonight's the 5th night of Chanukah - we're sitting in the computer room watching the candles and web browsing. and I went to the doctor today to check on our future son - everything's ok and her weight is healthy (neither over nor under). We're going to start looking at childbirth classes soon, as well as getting me into a daddy's class and both of us into some child-care and -safety classes. I've been thinking of buying some tefillin, and to start doing daily prayer in the morning (or daily talk/complaint session, something like that). I think a more structured method may work for me than just assuming that I'll get up in the morning to do it, though, so I'll have to figure something out to "force" myself to actually DO it. still thinks I'm nuts, but that's life.

PDA!!!

I have a new PDA. it's an hp ipaq rx1955. Wireless networking, MP3, video. I can even IM from it

Flute

I got a flute! Okay, I used to play flute in the 6th grade (um... that would be 17 years ago). I remember 4 notes (and 2 of them were wrong anyways...). But got me one (I have to pay her back for it) today at Tuesday Morning. I've brushed up a little, and even made some noise! I remembered how to switch between 1st and 2nd octave, and looked up how to make notes from B up to G in 2nd octave (the one I remember using the most). Now I'll have to play it more.

Mac moved

Ok, just moved my mac to my desk in the office, and got a USB KVM so that I can switch from my mac and my whindoze box quickly now. The living room's coffee table can go back to being a coffee table now. Now maybe I'll actually clean in there.... yeah, maybe later... In other news, AT&T CallVantage now requires you to specify if you've rebooted your TA. This means that every time I fiddle with the settings, even if my IP is the same, it still bugs me to press 1 if my address hasn't changed. And it won't recognize the 1 until it's said it's whole spiel. Argh. And finally, I picked up an old copy of Learning Cocoa, or something like that. It was cheap, and now I can learn Objective C and Apple's Cocoa framework, maybe fiddle around with stuff. P.S. Delicious Library rocks! Very cool program. Found a bug with non-Gregorian calendar years (but not the month or day, weirdly...), and suggested a different beep when something is scanned from the scanner/DV camera but turns up no results. (I'd imagine it'll probably beep when it scans it, and then if it's not found beep again differently to let you know to pay attention to the screen, but it's up to them.)
