Last Whistler trip of the winter (most likely)

We went up to Whistler again a few weeks ago with some friends and their 14 month old boy Ian. It was a blast hanging out with them and flying down the slopes (the snow was AWESOME). Here is one of several pics I hope to get up soon.
BTW- I will post more about the house as soon as I know more. We hope to get by the property and snap some pictures soon.

Whistler trip # 2 of ? for 2006

We have gone to Whistler a ton of times. Here is one of many, many pictures...that I of course have not done anything with. This is from 7th Heaven on Blackcomb looking at Whistler.

Yea, its been way too long

It has been a while since I have posted. Obviously. I will hopefully be keeping up a little more here in the future. The reason? We bought a new house that has not been built yet. Construction is suppose to begin in a week or so and I will be taking pictures periodically and posting them here with status. It is located on the East side of Lake Sammamish, south of Redmond and east of Bellevue, WA. It is going to be awesome! :) We can't wait. This is roughly what the house will look like, with some changes (skylights, Kitchen/Dining/Living is a great-room, deck off back...and a few others). Sammamish House Floorplan

Biking season is starting to wind back up. I road a little over a week ago for the first time this year. It was a lot of fun, but I am out of shape...duh. My friends and I are planning on riding Flying Wheels again this summer, so we will be riding more soon to get ready for that. There is talk about riding the RSVP which is a two day ride from Seattle to Vancouver, BC, Canada in early August. I don't know yet if that will happen or not.

More later...

Uptime for Win2k, 2k3, XP, & NT

So I have been using Unix and Linux a lot more lately because of my job. This has been good because I had gotten a little rusty and I enjoy the Linux environment. Recently I was trying to determine the uptime of one of our windows servers without having to search the Event logs for the last time the machine rebooted. Unfortunately windows currently does not have a command like "uptime" in *nix. However, I found something that is almost as good. Drop to a command prompt and type:

> net statistics server

It will output something like:

*****
Server Statistics for \\[your machine name]
Statistics since 1/9/2006 11:09 AM
...
*****

Not quite as pretty, but hey it works... :)
