It’s sort of been in progress for a while, at least planning. But I feel like Karen and I have actually started the process of moving back to the mainland. I’ll miss Hawaii and I know Karen will, but we really need to be back on the mainland …

My ThinkPad X301 decided to enter failure mode while I was at FUDCon Tempe. I travelled with two laptops, so I was still able to get online, but the ThinkPad is my primary development system. The other laptop was really just for email, IRC, and web browsing.

I waited until …

I enjoy writing software, hacking on other software, and otherwise geeking out at the software level. But I hate computer hardware. It’s not fun to work with, it’s annoying, and requires an arsenal of special purpose tools to work with effectively.

I used to assemble my own x86 …

Living in Hawaii makes it easy to earn a lot of frequent flyer miles. As a loyal Delta customer (have to support the hometown businesses), I am able to maintain SkyMiles Medallion status. The SkyMiles program has changed a lot since I’ve been living in Hawaii. Benefits change slightly …

I started my day today like any other day. Except that Karen and I are now getting up at 5:30 (or in my case on eastern time work days, breaking at 5:30) to exercise. The work day started out well. Was getting through things and then the cable …

People are starting to post photos from our wedding. I have been combining them in to a central area here:

If you have wedding photos you would like added to that collection, contact me by email.

NOTE: The wedding.burdell.org site will be going …
