6 Months Later

What in the world could have happened to me to suddenly update a blog that I had mostly left unattended for the last six months?

Coming soon! Promise!

The next iteration of Mac OS X came out last Friday, I managed to get a copy from the Palo Alto Apple Store after work. Too bad I couldn't get out of the office earlier so that I could have gotten a shirt, but that would also have meant having to wait in line for the store to reopen at 6pm. Oh well...

Playing Catch Up

So, while my blog was down... life went on...

Jacob celebrated his birthday:

Software Update

Well an upgrade to the system software running on my host hosed my old MoveableType installation, forcing me to update it to MoveableType 3.X and probably later on to 4.01...

Why am I posting this? Well, think of this as a test entry...

Cajun Crabhouse Redux

Don drove down from Seattle Wednesday night, and got into town Thursday afternoon. We haven't seen Don for quite some time, so we all decided to go have dinner on Sunday night. We went to the Cajun Crabhouse, which was where JB celebrated his birthday early in June.

More pictures here and here.

Field Day 2007

Every year, on the third weekend of June, ARRL holds its annual Field Day event. This is where Hams all over the US and even Canada set up emergency stations anywhere they deem fit to prove their slogan "Ham radio works when other systems don't! ".

Upgrade

One year after I got my Technician License with the Sunnyvale ARRL VEC, I went back to get my upgrade to General. I've been postponing taking the test while I tried to get my Morse Code speed up to snuff, then the FCC goes and takes away the Morse Code requirements for upgrading to a General License.

I passed the test with flying colors! Just in time for Field Day next weekend too! This should be fun!
