I doubt there are any college students whatsoever reading this, but in case some parents of college students are, here’s a good deal for Windows users.

This is a closed circuit post to Mac users only…

I noticed on Saturday morning that my Macbook Pro was unusually slow. I ran Activity Monitor to see what was running. A process called “find” was running and the parent was listed as “SH”. That’s pretty close to SSH, the program you use to open a terminal session on a different computer. No one should be SSHed into my computer, so I got a little bit worried.

I googled it and found the answer here. It was only Spotlight updating its index of files. As proof, I opened Console and saw the following under /var/log:

(okay, all my posts can’t be gems.)

I don’t think anyone else in my family will be switching to AT&T. Cellular South’s unlimited plan is the only one that makes sense given these minutes used last month:

The strike is still ongoing, but I’m posting Flickr pics like crazy. Rhonda is in another Repeat Street commercial that was filmed at Lost Rabbit.

Rhonda, Beth, Tobi, Gracie and I took the boat out Sunday afternoon. Although the temperature was over 100 degrees, we were plenty cool as we drank tons of water and stayed in the water.

Brad is having an MRI in the morning to determine how much the curvature in his back has progressed. Beth is moving into the Cottages of Hattiesburg Wednesday. We visited with my parents yesterday and both are sick…Momma is bad sick with a hyperactive thyroid. There are some decisions to be made in the next few weeks about treatment. Finally, Carolyn and Mark are coming down this week.

No posts lately. Not much going on, except Bruce went to New York for four days, Rhonda and Johnny went to California, and we are on vacation through the end of the month in Perdido. Seems like we could find something to post about…

At least we’re uploading pics by the score at my Flickr account.
