Revival

*tap tap* Is this thing on? I’d moved the “blog” part of the site around a couple of months ago and made it basically disappear. But, as what happens far too often, I was bored so I decided to move it back to the “main” part of the site. Which means I have to start ... Read More

I overheard someone at work the other day mentioning how neat it is and how it can be a good way to get young people interested in ham radio. The way he described it sounds exactly like the ...

Would someone like to explain to me how PalmOne’s new Tungsten E2 got by me? Really, I’m satisfied with the Treo, but wow that thing looks cool. Now if it only had a thumb-board instead of Graffiti 2. Then I might sell my Treo and get one. But, for now. I sleep. (z_z).｡o○ｚｚｚ…

Well, in addition to having to rip the hotswap enclosure out, the mobo on the server died. So I had to replace that tonight. Fun times indeed. Server (and all hosted sites) is back up. That is all.

I’m sure anyone who’s so much as seen the FFXI boards over at Allakhazam, or knows someone who has, has seen in a post or been linked this URL: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~dokihara/meetingagain-en.swf.

So, first day of the new job is going fairly well. Will update further tonight when done. Waiting for stuff to transfer ‘cross the network right now. Hmm, seems like w.bloggar’s text-entry field doesn’t quite like the Japanese IME… Will have to mess with this later. But, for now, back to work.

Possibly the most versatile polearm ever made, the Halberd is an elegant mix of spear and staff, remaining relatively light while having an effective cutting edge and stabbing point.
