Mom has been digging into the family history…

Seems my great-great-great-grandmother Kate Keller was 5th or 6th cousin to a woman named Kate Keller whose daughter was Helen… Well, actually Kate Keller also had a daughter named Helen… But not THE Helen… That was the other one. You follow that right?

Cool… It seems Kate also had a daughter named Beula who married a guy named Thomas Luther Watkins and then another guy named Luther Thomas about four years later…

Did they only have like five names available back then, or what?

So, Beula was a stuntwoman (no record of what she did) for Hal Roach (Think “Our Gang” or “Laurel and Hardy”) and Warner Bros whose stage name was Dolly… Which is also my grandma’s name. She wasn’t a stuntwoman, though.

Of course, I think the duplicate Helens and coincidentally named husbands are a paperwork mixup. The duplicate Kate’s seem to be legit.

[EDIT: Nope, the Thomas Luther / Luther Thomas thing is accurate. ]

SCALE 7.0

Scale 7.0 is coming!

To my geek friends who may be interested… of which, most don’t read my livejournal… oh well…

Anyway, one of my guys, Ilan Rabinovitch runs the Southern California Linux Expo ) and it is soon to be making its 7th appearance. This will be in LA between Feb 20 and 22.

Also making an appearance is one of our developers, Shawn Anderson, who will be presenting about Ruby.

They’re both great guys, very bright… So if you can, come on out and support them.

Fear teh cute ones.

The problem with tracking user history…

I was downloading album covers for itunes with a widget and trying to find an album called Groove or something… next thing I know, I’ve misclicked and ended up on amazon, browsing “How Stella got her groove back”. And now, when I go there, amazon pops up to show me that its one of the recent things I looked at and hey, other people who looked at “How Stella…” also were interested in “Waiting to Exhale” but like, I just fucking misclicked, damnit. Stella can keep her groove, I don’t want it (Nothing against Angela Bassett, she was fairly hot in Strange Days).
