New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

I ~might~ be able to do ROTK. Just lemme know...

[Corin Stormhands]

Lemme rephrase that. I can do ROTK. I ~might~ be able to chat view...

[ecurbh]

Try this:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level

Scroll down to Microsoft VM and make sure it is not set to "Disabled".

[ExGeeEye]

:) So I went

Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level

and looked for Microsoft VM.

Can't find Microsoft VM. Yet.

[ExGeeEye]

Sill can't find Microsoft VM. Does it matter that I'm running IE 6.0, XP Pro?

Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp and see if you can see the dancing logo thing. If not, there are further troubleshooting steps and a download link to reinstall Java at the bottom of the page.

[SAMWolf]

She is adorable, isn't she?

[RMDupree]

ROTK is fine by me. Alyson and Becky are still up though, so I may have to catch up.

Depends when we start....

[ExGeeEye]

Thanks to ecurbh, I'm up on chat. If we're gonna do a movie, I'm gonna have to go get the DVD player from the other room and hook it up.

[RMDupree]

I need the link!! I can't find out!!

[RMDupree]

Never mind, I found it! ;-)

[ExGeeEye]

[Professional Engineer]

Elfboy took a good pic of his sister.

Every time the camera is brought out, he starts asking to take pictures too. Msdrby and I are thinking photography might be a way to help him mentally focus on a task to completion. Spiderboy appears to have nearly all of the symptoms of ADD. Msdrby's brother is affected by it, and her father may have been as well.

[Professional Engineer]

Apparently Corin's money is not good enough fer anyone

Send it here, we'll put it to use.

[Professional Engineer]

Thank you kind sir

[Professional Engineer]

'zat a little harsh?

Only if you include a steaming pile of stuff meant to hit the fan.

[g'nad]

remember when I said we hadda pull thenewboy outta the dryer this mornin?... we gotta pic... he went into the laundry room, pulled all the clothes out of the dryer, and climbed in... he was pretty proud of hisself...

[ExGeeEye]

Have you considered an el cheapo 35mm? They're almost a dime a dozen; Walgreens is literally giving away film if you buy their camera and let them to the processing. When the time comes, there are legacy all-manual SLRs to let him goof around with exposure and aperture and stuff other than composition (which he seems to have a handle on).
