Pet Fest is coming up this weekend at Palmetto Islands County Park. It’s always a fun event to bring the dogs to and lots of things to check out and see. The variety of dogs is interesting to see too. If you have dogs, it’s worth checking out.
April blogger gathering
The polls are still open for the April gathering and so far in the location department 10-17 is ahead with April 22 for the date.
If you’re planning on going, go make your selection if you haven’t already. The first two dates on the list are quickly approaching.

Testing, testing…Anybody in here?
My 20 year high school reunion coming up this year had me Googling the names of some of my former classmates, just for fun and to see if I could find anybody.
What surprised me was how few people I found. The names I did find had such a small Googleprint that it was difficult to tell if it was the person I was looking for. Most of what I did find were just names in press releases or news stories, but not much else.
A few explanations come to mind:
- The vast majority of my old classmates are not as computer or Internet saavy as I am
- The ones that are have never bothered to create much of a Net presence
- Any classmates that do have a significant Net presence don’t use their real name
- I’m just a freak and spend far too much time on-line
By Occam’s Razor, the real explanation is probably #4.
Hardware: ugh
Today was one of those very frustrating days dealing with hardware. I hate dealing with hardware.
Radinfo’s been without a backup solution for the last few months now ever since the DLT drive I was using went belly up. I was planning to use an LTO drive I scavenged to do the tape-to-tape transfer project on the new machine. For some reason it wasn’t cooperating though and just sat there flashing it’s LEDs at me. Futzed around with it for a couple of hours getting nowhere before I decided to call it a day.
