These are past announcements but still noteworthy.

New Quiz :: December 10, 2005

Another silly quiz added, yay, rah.

I haven't seriously updated this site in some time. About a year ago I was working on a total redesign but after spending a few weeks on it, I realized it sucked and since then I haven't had the energy to do anything about it.

Updated Article :: September 14, 2005

I've updated my Microsoft product versions information pages.

Staci's going to Louisiana! :: September 13, 2005

Staci is going to Louisiana to help with a hurricane relief effort! I've set up a journal page to chronicle her adventures.

Remote Access Article :: February 23, 2005

I've added another 'advice' article: How to set up your broadband-connected home machine for remote access.

Notebook Article :: June 2, 2004

I've added another 'advice' article: Tips on Buying a Notebook Computer. Also, I've revised the Spyware article.

Phone Gone :: March 25, 2004

Effective immediately, my cell phone is gone. If you knew that number, you should have my home phone. I'm not going to post it here! Ask me if you need my home phone.

Virus Article :: January 29, 2004

Pertinent to the times, I've added an 'advice' article on general precautions you can take against the constant threat of computer viruses, entitled Computer Virus Safety & Tips.

If you want the skinny on the latest virus making its rounds, please see the MyDoom article on my HerrickTech website.

Seasonal Greetings :: December 29, 2003

Happy Christmas! Yes, I know it's a bit late. I've been slacking over the holiday break from work, not updating any websites or things of that nature.

I want to note that my wife Staci now has her own LiveJournal, and we've substantially updated her Joyful Journeys Doula Service website.

Two new quizzes :: December 12, 2003
Just posted two new quizzes.
Advice is now Articles :: December 10, 2003
I've changed the name of the 'advice' section to 'articles'.
Spyware Article :: November 20, 2003
I've added another 'advice' article, entitled: What is Spyware?
MS Office/Windows Article :: November 7, 2003
I've added a new 'advice' article, entitled: Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office: What are the different versions all about?
Job Announcement :: November 6, 2003
I got a new job! Okay, it's working for the same place and for the same boss, but it's a new position. There are three great things about it: One, it's full time (I've been working half time here); Two, it comes with its OWN OFFICE (okay, cubicle, but it's better than the single room I've been sharing with 4 other people) and a window; Three, the position involves providing support for only one division, and no "extra" positions -- as I've had. So, my job becomes much less schizophrenic. Which is good.
Birthday :: October 21, 2003
My birthday, in case you're wondering now that the timer's done, was October 15. I didn't get anything from my wishlist, but I got some things I should have added! One of the nicest things was a traditional Greek dinner cooked by my devoted wife. What a treat!
Countdown :: October 6, 2003
My birthday's coming up, you know! Take a look at My Wishlist!
(Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds)
Newest Herrick :: September 19, 2003
I'm very pleased to announce the newest Herrick -- Rebecca Ann Herrick, born February 7, 1992. Wait, 1992?! Yes, that's right, Rebecca was formerly Rebecca Barton, until I officially adopted her (I'm her stepfather). Congratulations Rebecca! (She actually wanted to change her middle name at the same time, to Aphrodite, but I told her that since I'd already put in the paperwork, she'd have to wait until she turned 18.)
MUSH pages updated :: September 5, 2003
I have massively updated my MUSH pages. Everything except for the logs. Those I'll get to another day!
Happy Birthday Josh! :: August 31, 2003
My son, Joshua, turns two years old today. Happy Birthday!
Blaster/Lovsan virus update :: August 14, 2003
My HerrickTech page has the skinny on the virus.
At the Women's Ministries Center :: August 8, 2003
My wife Staci helps run the Women's Ministries Center in Greeley. This is an excerpt from their weekly e-newsletter: Wednesday Rebecca, Staci's 11 year old daughter was with us all day. She is learning to crochet and was walking around the Center chatting and crocheting. She helped answer the phones when Staci was occupied elsewhere, ran some copies for me and brought cheer to our day. I had to smile because I asked her to run some copies for me and she came in to where I was and said, "Can I make them fun?" (Meaning, can I copy them in some fun colors.) Who wants to guess what personality she is?! Anyway, later Goldie walked in the Center and saw Rebecca crocheting a chain and said, "Would you like me to show you how to make a lei?" Awhile later I walked by the craft room and there sat Goldie and Rebecca, crocheting away and in deep conversation. How it blessed my heart. That is what we are here for--Relationship!
People & Quizzes Update :: July 9, 2003
I've finally added some (barebones) content to the People page, and have updated the quizzes pages.
Quizzes :: June 27, 2003
Just what everyone wanted to see: My answers to those silly quizzes. Actually, I've mostly just reorganized them so they're not all on one page, for easier viewing. (There's getting to be a lot of the darn things...)
Herrick stuff :: June 27, 2003
I've updated the Herrick family web site with pictures of the reunion, among other things.
Joshua's Diapers :: June 11, 2003
I know this may not be what you'd expect to see from me, but here are pictures of my son's new diaper. Which Staci made, all by herself. I donated the t-shirt.
Herrick Reunion :: June 2, 2003
So, not having been good at all about updating this space, I've at least cleared it out. The only notable thing happening any time soon is my Herrick family reunion, scheduled for June 13-15 in Fort Collins
Happy Birthday Rebecca :: February 7, 2003
My daugher Rebecca turns 11 today. Happy Birthday Rebecca! We're having a luau party to celebrate. (Yay! Eight screaming girls for two hours!)
New Niece! :: February 6, 2003
Please welcome Thea Jaden Herrick into this world! Thea was born February 6 at 8:41 a.m. at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. Parents are Joe (my brother) and Angel Herrick. After a difficult and perilous pregnancy, both mother and baby are doing fine. Thank you God!
New Domain :: January 21, 2003
I'm now the proud owner of the danheretic.com domain. So now you can use www.danheretic.com to get here. Also, my email address has changed: use (The pobox.com addresses are going away soon.)
New (Improved!) Job :: January 21, 2003
My job has just been extended from a half-time position to a full-time one. Looks like I won't be taking classes full-time any more... which suits me just fine! I'm now the PC computing support for the Physics department.
Writing :: January 3, 2003
I've updated the Writing pages to reflect the new look. (It's the "readme" link on the side.) Alas, no new writings yet.
New Job! :: January 2, 2003
No, not for me! My wife, Staci, has been hired as a receptionist (i.e. "pulse of the center") at the Women's Ministry Center in Greeley. Woohoo! She even has her own office, which I don't.
Happy New Page! :: December 31, 2002
Yes, at long last, my new site is up. Parts of it are a bit incomplete, so please be patient. The old site was sadly outdated. In fact, it was so outdated that my "replacement" site I was working on had the caption "dan herrick 2002"! Yeah, as you can see, I decided not to put the year up, so I won't become obsolete so quickly.
