OpenBSDOn my laptop, I generally don’t have /etc/hostname.* files. Since I don’t know where I’m going to be, I don’t know which interface I’m going to be using. So, I’ll manually run `sudo dhclient em0` or `sudo ifconfig ral0 nwid foo && sudo dhclient ral0`. But, I’m often using my home wireless network.

So, I added a little bit of magic to my /etc/rc.local:

Nice angle of the screw and plates. Not for the squeamish.

Elbow 09We visited with the doctor this morning and everyone that saw Holly was very, very pleased with her progress (as am I). She’s now allowed full extension and flexion and is allowed to achieve that with some help. That means she can start to give her stretches a little push to get more extension/flexion.

The X-Rays look awesome and her bones are healing nicely. I will see if I can convert them and post them later tonight along with an updated picture of her scar. All of the doctors called her a fast healer. I’m so proud.

University of Maryland University CollegeLast semester (Fall 2008) I enrolled in University of Maryland University College’s Prior Learning program (EXCL 301). The purpose of this class is to earn credit for learning that was done outside of the classroom. While I’ve never met anyone that has gone through this class, I had heard of a couple people that completed the EXCL class and earned credit. What I heard was that the class was very difficult and would require an incredible amount of work.

Elbow 09Holly had her two PT appointments this week and the PT thinks her progress is good.

We went out to dinner to my favorite restaurant last night (her idea) and guess what: they were out of lasagna. The chef felt so bad, he told me if I come by today, he’d give me some lasagna on the house. :) So I did. I got carry out and we shared it over a nice bottle of Cabernet.

There’s really no change to Holly’s status. She’s continuing with PT and we see the doctor on Thursday.
