Anyway today I was syncing mine to prepare it for loading the 2.2 firmware. I rarely sync my phone because it routinely takes over an hour to do so. Frustrating at best!!

I jumped in the shower figuring my phone could sync while I got ready. By the time I was done getting ready the damn thing was STILL syncing… Actually it appeared stuck in the backup phase. I’ve seen this before and knew if I waited long enough it would eventually finish but I had to get to work.

Being the master Googler I am, I quickly found others with the same issue and a solution! A very simple solution.

1. Connect your phone and open
iTunes.

2. Right click your phone name in the
left column list.

3. Click “reset all warnings”

4. Now reconnect your phone
and sync. When the prompt comes
up to ask if you want to send data
to Apple uncheck the checkbox and
say no!

5. Voilà! Few minute sync and in your
way.

Apparently the bog down a caused by the connection to Apple Servers with so many users. I don’t know if that’s true but it’s what I read.

Hope it helps!!

1. Open the find and replace (ctrl+f)

2. In the find box type:
[\r\n]{2,}

3. In the replace box type:
\n

4. Check the box for use regular
expression.

5. Then click the replace all button.

This has worked like a charm for me. For whatever reason Dreamweaver is adding carriage returns to the code. This regex looks for two or more occurances of the carriage return together and replaces them with a line feed.

Hope this helps!

This year we went trick-or-treating with some of our good friends and their children.  Tanner wasn’t feeling so hot so we didn’t go for very  long, but the kids had an awesome time regardless.

Tanner was a ninja and Ryan was Iron Man, I dressed up as my blood elf Clover.  Ashten spent the evening with some of his friends and was not out with us.

Anyway it got me thinking, and I scrounged around till I found a poem I wrote when it first happened (May 1999, although I don’t recall when I wrote the poem, sometime in the next year or so).

I did a google and found my poem listed as “Author Anonymous” but I assure you I wrote this poem.

Without further ado, here it is:

I Miss You Little One

I miss your laughter
Although I’ve never heard it
I miss your warm hugs
Even though I’ve never felt them
I miss watching you dance
Even though it never happened
I miss your kiss
Although I haven’t had one
I miss our talks
Even though we have never directly spoken
I miss watching you sleep
Although you never dreamt in my house
I miss waiting for you to come home from school
Even though you’re never gone
I miss kissing your scrapes
Although you’ve never been hurt

I miss you  little one.

Lots of fun!

I took Ashten with me, was such a blast!  We met up with several of my guildmates.

Matt “Gutz” came from Texas, then we had Brett “Sao”, Ryan “Meecrab”, Kent “Hayward”, and Kody “Cyrotic” who all live in SoCal.

We went to Knott’s Scary Farm the first night, then the convention on Fri and Sat.
