Server Upgrade: Well, in between watching the Super Bowl and the commercials, I was upgrading some faulty hardware on my web server at home. Hopefully, this server will stay up and running for more than 20 minutes at a time. Thanks to my brother for donating a motherboard :) . I'm also working on a way so that people who can't access the site from work will be able to do so.
Happy New Year! Hope you all have a Happy New Year. I plan on updating the stuff on this site more often (yes, more than twice a year! ;) ) I should be putting up more pics of Annalise and will be playing around with some videos as well.
And here's a little 1 minute video Christmas Card with Annalise. There are two versions, one for those with high-speed Internet connections (i.e. Cable Modem, DSL, etc.) and those with poky Internet connections. If you have Windows Media Player installed, you should be able to play whichever version you want right in the web page. Otherwise, you can click on the words "Christmas Video" and Media Player will open in a new window.

R.I.P., Dad: After a short bout with cancer, my dad died on Thursday, July 25. He passed peacefully surrounded by several family members. He was originally diagnosed with the cancer on March 17, when a tumor was found in his brain. On March 28, they performed surgery to remove the tumor. From then on, he gradually declined, as the cancer, which originated in his lungs, continued to spread. Less than four months later, he took his last breath in front of his wife, two sons, and other members of the family.


Hola, Amigos! I just started my first week at a new job with Univision in New York City. Univision is the largest Spanish television network in the country. I'll be commuting into the city everyday by train, which takes about an hour, but at least I'm not driving. Julianne will also be joining up with an OB/GYN practice here in Fairfield County starting June 1. Not bad having almost a year off! So, lots more changes here and we've been real busy just finally finishing up moving in - I don't know if we'll ever be finished!
Houston, We Had a Problem: But hopefully that's gone. I think that I found the piece of hardware that was causing my computer to crash on an irregular basis, and it's been up for a whole 2 days now! (Keep your fingers crossed.) Anyway, this is a good sign as I try to take this web site to a new level. Maybe I'll even have a real WebCam up in time ;).
WebCam! WebCams are constantly updated pictures on the Internet. I've setup my own little web cam at our house. Click the web cam link above to catch a glimpse at what's going on at Chez Icatar.
ONLINE STATUS: Check it out! At the top of this page, you should be able to see my online status with MSN Messenger and ICQ, so you should be able to see whether I am available or not. Thanks to status.webhop.net for this capability.
