We are in the middle of migrating from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 after successfully avoiding Exchange 2000 all together.

1000 + users we are moving, not to mention their sundry public folders and extra mailboxes. We’ve created scripts to upgrade Office 2000 and XP to Office 2003 on all of the work stations and to convert their existing Outlook profiles. We planned for so many contingencies and yet, for the last few days, I have been on the phone pretty much non-stop. Ah, well…job security and all that!

Last weekend of ren fair coming up. One more night of fund raising at the radidio station tomorrow and the ongoing remodel of the master bathroom.

It’s so awesome being me!

There’s do-ins a transpirin’ !

Last week we began the remodel of the master bathroom.
And by “we” I mean we hired a contractor to come in and demolish what was there and install the new one.

Here’s some shots of the master bath as it was when we bought the house.

Ugly, pale blue wallpaper with pink butterflies and the linoleum floor have to go as does the form fitting plastic tub/shower and the cheezy washbasin vanity. All gotta go!

I was happy to find no horror behind the shower. I fully expected water damage and/or termites but it looks good. There was an even uglier wallpaper under the layer we had removed. Yuk!

We’re installing a new vanity and a large tub and tiling the floor. Floating and repainting the walls as well.
It’s going to be spectacular.

We also had the kitchen cabinets refinished. It was done in the first week and that part of the house is returning to normal. The bathroom should be complete sometime in the next week and a half. It’s a very disruptive process but it will increase the resale value on the house not to mention the bubble baths.

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands

Hopefully you can spare some to watch these magnificent videos

How to eat sushi.
Ok, I admit it. I thought it was serious at first.

Everyone’s favorite fighting video game’s theme song now has a music video.

Horsing around

A fairgoer caught me in the act of cutting up with a group of children out at fair after a Fish show.
It’s fun playing with children so long as they go home with someone else.

I was asked to shoot pictures at the annual $500 a seat fundraising gala for The Orange Show this year. I accepted and had some fun.

The event was held at Adickes SculpturWorx Studio which, I was to discover, is where the molds for the President’s Park sculptures are kept. Presidents Park is where you will find a collection of 20-foot-high concrete busts of the 42 American commanders in chief created by David Adickes.

Seeing them all lined up there, bathed in orange light made me think of that They Might Be Giants song…

Here in the hall of heads
You look through the keyhole
This is the hall of heads
One step through the doorway
Roll out that special head
This is our favorite one
Please don’t try to leave
Don’t leave the hall of heads
Hide underneath the porch
Hide down behind the furnace
You can’t get away
You can’t really hide
Once you hear the call
The song of the hall of heads
You can’t run away
Your feet won’t help you run
You can’t run away
Out of the hall of heads
