Wow Halloween already. Where has the month of October gone. Been busy working on the Mame cabinet. I got the computer end all done this week. More on this later on the site for the cabinet. I should have the site done by the end of the weekend with allot of pictures and stuff about getting the software done.

Avery is all excited about going out trick or treating tonight with Carolyn while I get to stay home and hand out candy to the kids, which I enjoy the most. Carolyn’s dad is back in the hospital as of last night. They called right at 10 when Carolyn was heading to bed. She got to stay up till 2:30 to find out what the hospital had to say. He’s got pneumonia in one of his lungs. She is waiting to hear from his doctor to find out what is up now and when he gets to go tout of the hospital.

Going to spend most of the weekend working on the cabinet. The goal for the weekend is to get the coin door in, the front painted and the shelf for the monitor in and get it moved into the front room. That way I can get the computer mounted. I am also going to finish the layout of the control panel and hopefully cut and drill the holes in and then start wiring it up.

I have also d/l over 100 ROMs for the game. I hope to get the whole collection as well as, as many other emulator files to play on the game.

That’s it for now.

Made some changes to the templates and the archive pages. If you find any bad links please let me know.

It looks like some one at the IP address 80.144.36.14 was a little board yesterday around 5 EST and went on for about 20 min. They just loved hitting the ftp server here are a few attempts from the logs:

Well you’ve got to give this person credit they at least kept on trying.

Last night I heard a song from the “Wizard of OZ” and it made me think of 4th grade. I wen to private school back in those days and the class size was small. We had like 14 kids in the class. Our teacher was a real out there teacher, Miss Sally Gordon. Her idea was to do a musical review since we were such a small class. We did about 20 songs with dancing. It was nuts, I don’t think I did to well in that class but it makes me think what happened to Miss Gordon and the rest of the group that made up “The Fabulous Fourth Grade Rainbow Follies”? The thing I remember most was that we took the show on the road to the Trenton Country Club..why I don’t know. So if you were one of us drop me a line.

Well yesterday I got to stay home and watch Home Depot install my new windows. All I have to say is that it makes the house look great. We replaced all 13 windows in the house and had the black siding around the windows changed to white. The only down side is that now around the front and back doors the siding is black.

These windows are pretty good. The definitely keep the outside noise level down and they have stopped the drafts completely. Pictures of the old and new windows are here. If you want a recommendation about Home Depot windows and install mine would be great. The installer was friendly and personable and got the job done and did it well.
