I finally made it.

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

I landed in Dusseldorf this morning, and I’m relaxing at my friend Ercan’s house now. I have a few days before I start work. Cathy and Ben will be joining me in a month or two, but until then, I’ll miss them tremendously.

Moving to Germany… for good!

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

At the end of this year, shortly after Christmas, I expect to be heading over to Germany to take up employment for NATO, and will reside there indefinitely. Catherine and Benjamin will be joining me, but their timeframe is a bit more uncertain. We’re all very excited! We’ll miss our friends and family here stateside, [...]

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is excellent!

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

I downloaded the new Firefox beta a few days ago, and I’ve been using it as my primary browser since then. I have to say, I’m impressed! I’m using it on Mac OS X, and it seems to “fit” a lot better than before. Speed seems to be the primary improvement here–not only do pages [...]

UPS stinks.

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I called UPS, and the friendly representative could only say [...]

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

After searching, downloading, testing, and playing around, I’ve finally come up with a few tweaks for those of us running TomTom on our Nav-Cam. Available for download are two different files. One is a restore utility to use after performing a hard reset on your device, and includes menu software to replace the factory menu. [...]

Head ‘em up, move ‘em out!

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Well, it looks like it’s “that time”, again. Tomorrow morning, I’ll pick up the moving truck, and we’ll spend the day loading it up, and cleaning up the house. I’m really looking forward to spending some time with Cathy’s family, I just hope we don’t wear out our welcome too quickly!

House for sale/Unemployed

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

So, we’ve put our house on the market. It’s already been about 2 weeks, and we’ve only shown it three times so far. I have a feeling our asking price is too high, but we’re trusting our realtor, Bob Winkler. Hope he knows what he’s doing! I just got a phone call from NATO, and [...]
