I do realize that my blog posting has been lame of recent. It does seem that when I do finally get to blogging and end up writing more lame posts like this. I won't apologize for that though, that's just the way life and blogging goes with me sometimes.
First things first, I'm posting this in Word 2007! We'll have to wait until I'm done to see how well that works though. It was pretty easy to set up and I may just continue to use this to post entries. I tend to install too many blog apps that either end up not working or aren't exactly what I hoped they would be once I got them working.
I have received my new computer so hopefully there will be minimal complaining in the computer area (at least until 3 years from now until this one dies). I have a shiny new HP with all sorts of neat things and Windows Vista. Now that I've been using Vista for about a week or so I have to say that I do like it. At first I called it "cool and annoying at the same time" but it feels more like the "kinder, gentler Microsoft." The error messages seem a bit more helpful (if not a little too frequent). I've heard from others that it's slow, but this doesn't seem to be the case for me yet. I think it's snappy and I even like the nifty vista-like animations. I haven't had much of a problem running my old applications on it, but I've only been installing things as I need them. Now, I just need to keep it running this way and I'll be happy.
I did have a list of things I wanted to post about, but those are stored on my other computer, and I have been neglecting that one since I got the new one. One post I had in my mind is how to sync GPS tracking data with your digital images to auto geocode your pictures. I ran a little test a few weeks ago but I never wrote about that. The bummer is that the one utility that worked the best is only available for XP, but everything else runs fine on Vista...I suppose this is why I'm hanging on to my old computer.
If you don't see me around my blog this summer I'll probably be doing one of these things; geoaching, something for my class, working, camping (in August, yea!), more geocaching. We attended a geocaching event a few weekends ago, we'll be attending a least 3 more until September (not including our camping trip which will be week long geocaching with our friends). We're eagerly awaiting the Midwest GeoBash in Kendallville, IN, presently there are 915 people signed up to attend. That's a lot of GPS receivers in one place :)
What I really wanted to do this summer is some website maintenance; I've been meaning to update the site for some time now. Things never go the way we plan though, oh well.
Hopefully some real blog posts are on the way (I know I said that last time I posted a lame post).
