Archive for the ‘Everyday Stuff’ category

I took a break from the slower-than-usual day at work to take a look at Internet Archive (web.archive.org), which, as the name implies, archives web content over time. This includes not only sites, but images, scripts, etc. It’s an awesome non-profit project that is perfect if you need to find an extremely old blog post.

For shits and giggles (more giggles), I punched in my old website, ryanpetersonline.com, and immediately was pulled back in time; back to 2006. Everything that was relevant at the time – everything from talking about my first home server to our new (now aging) couch – was there, spanning about 1 years time. After reading through the wide-range of topics I ranted and wrote about, I realized that I sort of miss blogging.

Maybe I’ll get back into it. I’ll start by adding these archived posts to THIS blog. It’ll be funny to pull these up 50 years from now and see what was relevant, assuming the internet is still here and we’re not all floating in cloud (web joke).

Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I posted here. There’s good reason too – busy job, busy house, and of course, our first son Connor was born on August 19th. I’ll be making a lot of updates, but not so much tech-related.

On that note, I encourage you to check out my newborn son’s website, connorpeters.com.

I took the day off (well, it was supposed to be the morning, but we ran into complications) to visit the OBGYN with my wife in order to get a checkup on our collaborative project. Here’s an early screenshot of the latest build.

In about nine weeks we should be able to find out the sex. At that point, I can begin registering his or hers domain name.

I found this amusing, and very true. This pretty much lined up with our recent vacation to the Outer Banks. Scary…

I like to keep an eye on one of our dogs, Sadie, as I’m beginning to leave her outside of her cage. In an effort to make sure she doesn’t destroy the room, I set up the Sadie Cam, which is viewable here.

The cam is usually on during work hours. Enjoy.
