7 Days for SIDS

7 Days for SIDS

On Monday, June 13, 2005, I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, owner and chef of Cincinnati Ohio’s Jean-Robert at Pigall’s at 7 Days for SIDS: A One Week Fundraiser for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, an event that he and his wife Annette founded after losing their daughter Tatiana to SIDS in June of 2002. In the past two years, this annual event has raised over $80,000 for SIDS education, research, and parent support and has funded the Tatiana de Cavel scholarship fund at the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.

System Maintenance: Comprehensive Backup

System Maintenance: Comprehensive Backup

Today, I performed a comprehensive backup of the system to the new DVD burner that I installed. It makes backing things up much nicer. I also installed another fan in the case to cool things off, replacing one that had locked up.

The site was unavailable for about 90 minutes during installation and the verification of the backup.

From Jo, a regular visitor to this site:

A little boy goes to his father and asks “Daddy, how was I born?” The father answers: “Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!

Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Pop-Up appeared and said: You’ve Got Male!”

Thanks, Jo!
