The Steussy Ranch

Phil Harding, current age 46. He is 13 in the photo above.

I last talked with Phil in 2001, when he was unable to come to my wedding. Recently, a group from our high school class (New Castle Chrysler High School 1981) found each other on Facebook. We’ve been wondering what’s happened to Phil.

Last known address: 2280 Mira Monte Corona, CA. 92879. Married. Two daughters.

Worked at Val Verde Unified School District as Technology Integration Specialist.

If anyone knows where he is, please make a comment here or email me.

I’ve added a 1.5TB hard drive to our network here at the Steussy Ranch. It’s called Ocean. It appears to be a bottomless pit for information.

I installed it on Wednesday and I’m just finishing now getting all of the basic data into it. This disk carries more information than all of our computers combined. It will work as automatic backup device (I have other methods for a weekly manual backup) and as a repository of non-essential data. It will also be my movie editing platform, since one hour of HD video is now taking up to 80GB of space.

Dang, this thing is big.

Manhattan Fruitier, an excellent high-end fruit basket to the stars family business has now closed their Los Angeles office after ten years of operation. My wife and her friends have been an integral part of Manhattan Fruitier for more than a decade, so we’re very sorry to see it go. Even I helped out there one Christmas, when the demands of the videogame industry were at a low ebb.

We can only hope the change is temporary.
