Off we go! We have departed for Hawaii and are now at the airport awaiting our flight. It’s pretty early for us – we had to be out before the sun came up. Luckily, all the traffic was flowing inbound and NOBODY wants to leave! It seems that the Superbowl we are escaping is drawing [...]

Speaking of diving: Laura found a great deal on the dive computer I have been waiting for. It’s a Cochran Gemini that will do multiple Nitrox mixes and allows for decompression diving with different gasses. Not only does that mean I have the computer I thought I’d be buying next year, it means that now [...]

Well, soon Laura and I will be departing to Hawaii. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are really looking forward to it. I don’t think it could come at a better time. The project I’m working on is at a slow point – several sites are finishing up and won’t need [...]

Well, I did it. I completed the firmware update for my Vetta. Now, it is software-identical to the Vetta II. I even was able to keep my preconfigured favorites. It has tons more amplifier models to chose from and some more effects. Of course, I have to re-learn a few things: the old amp models [...]

Well, the possibility of going to Hawaii has come up since a good friend of ours is staying there for a while and I’m trying to ‘work remotely’ for a couple of weeks after this one. Now, if it doesn’t work out, I will probably just take some vacation or something… not that I mind! [...]

I have been notified that MovableType 2.66 is out and I haven’t upgraded. So, now, I have. It has protection from ‘comment spammers’ which apparently has become a problem. I’ve only seen it once on my site, but it never hurts to be protected. So, enjoy the new version of MovableType! (not that you’ll notice [...]

Well, it’s that time again: the time when Microsoft has put out a new server product and made all of our Microsoft certifications obsolete. So, instead of waiting a while to take my tests, I have beaten the curve and passed the two upgrade exams for MCSE on Windows Server 2003. Now, that makes 4 [...]

Well, I found out the other day that my ‘new’ amplifier [I say 'new' because it's over a year old now...] is not the top of the line anymore. Line 6 has a Vetta II out. That makes mine obsolete! Not to worry, though, because there is a firmware update for the amplifier. For those [...]

Well, I keep trying to catch up on my backlog of photos to post but it seems like I make no progress. I have just posted some pictures of our New Year’s “trip” as well as some low-res copies of selected professional wedding photos. I still have many many more pictures to post. Who knows [...]

After much research, I have found a way to add random shots to my home page. So, instead of “picture of the week” which wasn’t really “of the week” more like “of the whenever I get around to changing it”, now every time you refresh the page, it changes. Try it. See? It works!
