Well. One thing I can say is that I’m no longer burdened by long periods of inactivity. I’ve been thrown in whole hog and am only just now coming up for air.
Working from home, pro: No commute. Duh. Except when I have early morning appointments and have to go downtown anyway. Home for lunch. I [...]

Well. Today I start my new gig, which is going to be generally based here at home. I have an office, but no gear yet. I’m told it will show up some time today. I’m already booked on a there-and-back-again trip to Atlanta tomorrow, and my account executive has the next week pretty well planned [...]

Last week was pretty busy, thus my relative silence. Some things are cooking that I can’t talk about quite yet. Stay tuned.
We were supposed to go camping with the scouts last weekend, but punted at the last minute because the weather was looking pretty sketchy. Severe thunderstorms and whatnot. I’ve had two rainouts on camping [...]

So I never made it to Dallas. About thirty minutes out, we got held up because of some bad weather, and some time after that, were diverted to Little Rock. We sat on the ground (in the plane) for a little while, then they pulled us off the plane so that we could sit [...]

I’ve been driving all over the place to various field locations, coming up to speed on some stuff for which I am supposed to be an expert. Probably a good idea to go and look at one of these setups before advising others on building them. In any case, we’ve found time to pick up [...]
