Your message from an outside caller.

Sent Saturday November 20th at 8:04 PM.

Hello Mr. Cashin, this is Hanz from the Milwaukee Hilton Center City Hotel, and we have had several complaints about Table 17 at the event going on tonight. We would very much like like it if you would please arrest your behavior at that particular table, and please control yourself. We’ve had several complaints. And we’d like to not to have to take enforcement activity against your table, but we will not hesitate to do so if you do not curb and contain yourself hence forth.

Again, this is your last warning.

Foodstack Is Back

Posted on November 14, 2004 by jeb

I have mentioned Kathy’s Foodstack before. This is her recipe database that started life as a Hypercard stack and later became a Lotus Domino database available on the web. I’ve added a link on mac.fiveforks.com if you want to find it in the future. Look for recipes with a 4 or 5 fork rating!

This is one of the first web databases I ever built, so I only had limited experience. Kathy reported a few months ago that it wasn’t working correctly. It turns out I broke it when upgrading the server. Some old commands no longer work, but new ones make it all work better. I’ve added some CSS for style and a “search” command that lets you find out their are 81 entries that contain “chocolate”.

Halloween Red Eye

Posted on November 14, 2004 by jeb

Some photos from Halloween 2004 which had the best weather I can recall. I walked the girls around the neighborhood in short sleeves and sandals. Neighbors set up tables along driveways to hand out candy and drinks. One Dad even offered me an “adult beverage.”

Bats were out at twilight chasing down bugs. I tried taking a picture of one flying overhead, and all I got was a remarkable red dot on a black background, which is the reflection of one of the bat’s retinas. Red eye also worked well in Kelly’s photo below since she was all dressed up in pinks and reds.

Mary Claire had an amazing nerd walk that I think was better than Steve Urkel’s. MCC also designed Jack O’ this year. That’s a bow tie and a one-toothed mouth.

Lawn Mower Kelly

Sometimes they call her “LM” which is short for Lawn Mower. Or “LMK” for Lawn Mower Kelly.” Or sometimes they just call her “mo” for short. But mainly, on the soccer field, they try to stay out of her way!

How do you find out about a fat green caterpillar on the internet?

I found it in five minutes, by typing in “Identify Caterpillar”… Dad searched for 15 minutes.
