# eth1 doesn't like me.

nobody@vox.com(Sean LaFianza) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:54:16 -0400

I have sixteen tabs open in firefox and none of them are helping me out. I'm stuck on the most basic of all server issues, getting the server to connect to my router. Is anyone familiar with the ins and outs of ubuntu server? I'm sure I'm just missing something dumb.

Basically, eth0 is able to ping google. Both static and dhcp, although it's currently on dhcp. eth1 however, no matter WHAT I do is unable to connect to the router. Any guesses/help would be appreciated!!

"/etc/network/interfaces" looks like this:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0 dhcp

# The secondary network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.1.1
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 66.82.4.8

"ifconfig" shows that it's connected to the NIC just fine, just can't ping out... help?!

It's Happy Easter Day!

or at least that's what Eva said first thing this morning. We've been sick for days now and unfortunately had to stay home from church and cancel Easter dinner. The kids seems to be feeling a bit better... enough that they're asking about their Easter baskets and the egg hunt we've been talking about. Laura is still asleep, hopefully she'll feel well enough to watch the kids do their egg hunt, otherwise we'll just wait until tomorrow.

Since we're staying home and missing church, we'll read the Easter story and sing some songs with the guitar (which always ends in "Mary had a little lamb" when 'church time' is over)

I'm thankful for Easter.

I should have stepped outside of photoshop a long time ago. Next stop, InDesign.

Elias saw me coding html from straight text earlier today and was asking me about it. We sat down and he coded his first site from text, he is SO proud of it. He created the image in photoshop some time ago playing with the stamps.

Eli's code:

<html>
<body bgcolor=0000ff>

<h1><center><i>HI<br>2008<br>the Rain eli lafianza</i><br>

Masks

I work with layer masks all the time... I always think to screen capture my layer masks but forget, this time I did. These layer masks were from a group of twelve's studio portraits. They remind me of Henri Matisse... Maybe I could sell this piece for more than the actual portraits.

the kissing disease

nobody@vox.com(Sean LaFianza) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:05:01 -0400

Laura went to the doctors last week and had a bunch of blood work done to igure out why she's been sick all winter. They ran tests for Lyme disease and a bunch of other things... turns out she's getting over mono. We had no idea! Laura was in bed sick for almost two weeks a couple months ago and then I was in bed for like three days straight right after that. Maybe we both had it? Who knows.

Laura's still feeling bad in the morning and has bad days which apparently will still fit with symptoms of mono. Doesn't explain the celiac all of a sudden but maybe low immunity with mono brought out the celiac which was on it's way anyway.

Here's to spring!

Improv Everywhere

nobody@vox.com(Sean LaFianza) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:00:03 -0400

This was the best Improv Everywhere I've seen. They wrote a musical, had a bunch of people in place, tapped into the mall PA system... You can read the whole story here. If you're not familiar with Improv Everywhere, also make sure to check out "Frozen Grand Central" from a few weeks back.

my special needs kid

I bought Eli and Eva these kid's caving flashlights.. they were like $5 a piece and I knew they would have fun exploring dark rooms or whatever.. Eva has been wearing hers non-stop and looking very special needs, like it's a safety helmet.

(speaking of ACTUAL special needs, eva has been doing so well this winter with her sensory issues. We upped all her supplements to compensate for being indoors so much more and having less stimulation as we're just stuck in the house. She's been doing much better at church and on shopping trips... She has plenty of rough days but the good has been out weighing the bad. We can't wait for spring and consistent beautiful weather! She gets SO much stimulation being outdoors and it's great for ALL of us. We took her off wheat and gluten and that has helped a lot too!)

Photo Booth

nobody@vox.com(Sean LaFianza) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:45:33 -0500

We played with Photo Booth for a little while after dinner last night. Elias and Eva made a couple videos. Eli directed (as usual), narrated and picked out the effect he was going for (so excuse the weird pop art)... The MBP webcam really doesn't do well in anything but full sun, so i was manning the flashlight. Elias dances all the time to the music in his head, spinning, twirling, whatever... He has learned to channel his Inner-Napoleon-Dynamite..

Laura said after she saw it "I forgot to make a funny face, I just smiled the whole time!"
