Swamp Thing

December 27th, 2005

This is my first trip to Florida. The flight in was interesting, the landscape would change from urban to swamp and back again quite suddenly.

My install was put off until tomorrow due to a shipping delay so I spent the afternoon cruising around and enjoying the sunshine. It was in the 70’s here, much warmer than St. Louis. Not a bad way to start off the work week. 🙂

A Linux Cluster eh?

I have never been to Canada before but it seems like a nice place. The downtown Calgary area is a nice place to stay anyway. My hotel is only 3 blocks from the client so I can easily walk there in about 10 minutes. Traffic isn’t too bad and it is easy to get around. This part of the city is clean and prosperous looking. It’s not even that cold, around 35F. It was colder than that in St. Louis this weekend. 🙂

Brrrrrr

Wow, these people make nice boards! The boards for my LED Sign project arrived today and I am quite impressed. This is the first time I have used the internet PCB service at www.expresspcb.com though I have used their free CAD software to layout schematics for a couple of years. Their software is easy to use and the boards are very sharp. I’ll get some pictures up soon.

Update: Pictures are on the LED Sign project page
