Another Addition To The Skowronek Family On The Way

Yes it’s true! Nicole and I are expecting another little tyke. We’ve already been to two ultrasounds and have been informed we are having a little girl!!! Boy that will put off the pressure of having to go for three or four in order to have the diversity in this family that I invisioned there would be.

DSL Configuration with multi-line home

Over the weekend I spent a few hours at the in-laws place trying to get their brand-spanking new DSL modem from Earthlink setup. What I expected to take at most an hour ended up being over 5 hours, and I wasn’t even able to get them on DSL!

Here’s the deal…they have a multi-line phone system. Each phone line has standard 4 pair phone wire, both of which have active connections running.

The first problem I ran into was that Earthlink had setup the DSL on the wrong line! I couldn’t just plug in a phone cable into the back of the DSL and have it work.

Second, the DSL filters that come with the system only allow one line through. They aren’t configured to work with multiple lines.

So I’m stuck having to figure out how to connect the right line that is carrying the DSL signal to the DSL modem WITHOUT killing both lines going through a particular jack (specifically the one in the office.) I’ll present more as I figure this out.

Call of Duty: The most intense FPS

Been playing this one for a bit now and I have to say it’s one of the more addicting multiplayer FPS’s I’ve played in a while.

We’ve added a new online image gallery with over 600 images for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully with some actual content we’ll get more visitors eh!

Feel free to comment and such.

Site Migration

We’ve decided to give the skowronek.org website a facelift. For those of you that visited the site we built for Jaryn, this won’t be new as it is pretty much the same site only … better.

We hope to have the gallery online soon! Please feel free to comment and tell us what you’d like to see. This site, afterall, is for the fans. :D

Little Engine That Could

It was only a matter of time before Jaryn and his little friends figured out how to climb up every piece of accessible furniture in our humble abode. Time to toddler-proof the house.

The First Years…Stepping Stool

The day of devious creativity is at hand. Jaryn has astonished us to the point of submission. And thanks to the newly discovered (and partly parent induced) awareness of ‘The First Years’ stepping stool, is no longer restricted by his young, vertically challenged frame. An entirely new world has opened up to this petite yet determined dwelling explorer. What once started as a wee lift onto the couch, and climb up the side of the bed has turned into scaling kitchen tables with a single bound. Even the oven seems like child’s play thanks to the handy ‘oven door’ onto which he grapples and heaves his lightweight body. Nicole and I are left dumbstruck as we scramble to toddler-proof the once safe and secure baby-proof playground we call home.

If You Build It They Will Come…

After a long drawn out process of creative and technology head-banging, the Jaryn Skowronek Official Website is up and running. Feel welcome to peruse the pages of with enthusiasm and glee.

Any comments would be most appreciated as well.
