I’m flying back to CA with T tonight. We are going to visit my family and attend a friend’s wedding. Be back Sunday. Have a great weekend!
Ghosthawk vs Ragnaros
Yeah… this is a fair fight ;)
So my internet / email / website are obviously back online and have been for quite a while now. Sorry I haven’t updated you sooner, I’ve just been incredibly busy. I’ve got lots of updates for you but I’m not sure when I’ll get around to posting them. Theresa and I are going down to Crater Lake this weekend – which is a 4-day weekend thanks to Intel. Catch you all soon!
Website Down
So I let my domain registration expire… Didn’t mean to. It just… happened. Perhaps it was because I had to move and was distracted by relocating to another state. While that makes a great excuse – its still an excuse… I was just lazy and should have renewed months ago. I recently re-registered my domain with Yahoo but they don’t accept domain transfers! This means that I can only re-delegate from my French registrar, gandi.net.
To summarize the above paragraph: My website and my email addresses associated with that website will be unreachable until I can find out how to fix them and bring everything back online.
Probably not going to happen any time soon considering I’ve been super busy and spend 99.9% of my free time with my GF. I’ll be stuck in the lab until late tonight, trying to decipher logic analyzer traces. Yes, I’m using a logic analyzer to probe 18-30 seconds worth of asynchronous serial data! That basically means I’ll be reconstructing data words by hand…. fun fun :)
Crater Lake from 35,000 feet
What a beautiful sight this was!
I also shot all of the volcanoes – had to adjust for the airplane window in photoshop though. Crater Lake was once a giant volcano named Mount Mazama and reached 11,000 feet! Then it blew up :) Wikipedia has some good information on the formation of the lake here. Apparently crater lakes are a geological feature with the subject of this post being one of the most well known in the US. There are other crater lakes in North America and around the world.
In quiet contemplation…
…let us now mourn the death of my cell phone
My LG VX6000 finally died the other day. Its been a good phone and lasted longer then my contract with Verizon. The timing was perfect since I recently switched to Cingular and picked up a SLVR. CDMA coverage sucks in Washington and the international compatibility of GSM makes Cingular very appealing. Oh yeah, and I HaXx0R3d my phone on the first day!
Besides that news, Im flying up to WA again tomorrow to look for apartments. Last time T flew down to Cali, Southwest lost her bag and it was a direct flight. I tracked the bag and found out it went to Houston instead and was later routed to Chicago. She finally got her bag back after it was sent to San Jose. (This several days after she returned home to Washington). So Im hoping the same wont happen to me since I’m also flying Southwest. Budget airlines for the win. Hopefully they pay their engine maintenance technicians more than their baggage handlers!
