South East Tour Day 5 Stranded in Natchez Today began really well.  We all woke up and just hung out at our camp site.  The kids glued googly eyes on rocks and ate grits while Kim and I loaded up the Volkswagen.  I made a few rearrangements for where we put stuff so that the middle area wasnt so crowded with stuff.  I even brought out the hose and a rag and gave the van a wash, though I had no soap to really get the hard grime off that has been collected over the miles weve traveled so far.  I also charged up the battery because running the fan and the interior lights had eaten up some of it. There was a minor problem.  My cell phone had gone belly up on me.  When I tried to turn it on it would go to the boot screen, go black and then cycle back to the boot screen, repeating this loop.  I tried leaving the battery out for an extended amount of time, and then repowering everything, but it did not good.  Even attempting a factory reset just put...

South East Tour Day 7 Nashville TN This morning we awoke to some light rain that only lasted about 45 minutes.  After a breakfast of grits and left-over pancakes we headed to the Verizon store to pick up my new phone.  As it turns out, even though I had selected to have the phone overnighted, it wasnt scheduled to arrive until Monday, at which point we would not be in Nashville anymore.  The guy at the store was extremly helpful and called the campground we are supposed to be at on Tuesday to make sure it was okay if he could ship the package there, and he would send it overnight.  So hopefully on Tuesday I will finally be back in business with my phone ... hopefully. After the Verizon store we headed to the reconstruction of the Parthenon.  The building was really cool.  You enter through a downstairs area that has an art gallery and an exhibit that lays out the constructions of the Parthenon from concept to a full-scale museum, including a reconstruction ...

South East Tour Day 1 Big Lagoon State Park Today we drove form our home in Tallahassee to Big Lagoon State Park. Kim and I woke up around 7:30 this morning and we started doing the final stretch of loading up the Volkswagen, and cleaning up the house.  I made a breakfast of eggs, hash browns and toast.  The girls are usually up between 7:30 and 8:30, but when they where still not up around 9:00 we went ahead and woke them.  After feeding everyone and getting them ready for the day, we headed out.  We had to drop off Mollie with a pet sitter Kim found on Craigs List, and then we left town. I drove the first leg of the trip all the way to Fort Walton Beach, taking Highway 20 almost the whole way. We dropped by a Subway for lunch, but ate in the car. We arrived at the campsite around 4:30, making our trip around five hours, including the stopping for food and gas.  The kids where mostly well behaved on the trip, with the usual "Im tired", "Im hungry", and "How fa...

South East Tour Day 3 New Orleans Today we toured the French Quarters of New Orleans.  Like most big cities, parking was insanely expensive, especially for someone like myself from Tallahassee where parking is almost always free, and if it not is just a couple of dollars, or usually even less. We didnt get too far from our car before Athena started complaining about having to walk.  She has never been much of a walker, and it didnt seem like today she was going to start being one.  We pushed through a few blocks and I spotted Peaches Records.  We went in.  Kim and the girls got some Skittles while I perused their records. They had a lot of really great records, but they where way overpriced.  Most of the good ones where $30 or more.  There where a few good records that could be had for around $5, but I wasnt about to pick anything up regardless.  Id doubt I could get any vinyl all the way home before it completely melted in this summer heat. After...

South East Tour Day 2 Bayou Segnette State Park This morning Kim was the first one up, followed by Athena and Aurora.  I got up last and began getting things packed up.  Arianna woke up very last.  She slept in the bottom bed with me.  Aurora and Kim slept up top.  Athena slept with Angel and Ashton. Ashley made a breakfast of sausage patties and eggs.  There was also a bunch of watermelon my grandfather bought.  We were worried that there wasnt going to be enough food, but after cooking everything there was just enough to fill everyones bellies. Kim and I slowly got everything ready and eventually got things on the road.  After leaving the camp grounds we stopped by a Tom Thumb gas station for some ice and gas.  We then went across the street to Wal-Mart to get some other needed supplies, including letting the kids spend a little bit of the money we got for them to buy a toy to entertain them on the road.  Arianna got a mini version of ...

South East Tour Day 9 Smoky Mountains Last night there was a lot of rain and thunder.  The temperature fell quite a bit.  I had long johns in my tent, but they were sitting against the side and where wet. Kim and I awoke long before the girls.  I got the fire going again while Kim boiled water for oatmeal.  I put tinfoil on the gril over the fire and took turns placing an article of wet clothing from the line on it to dry.  I would get them mostly dry and place them back on the line to finish drying.  The rain was completely gone, and the clouds that were still in the sky did not look threatening. After the girls awoke, were fed and dressed, we headed towards Cades Cove to rent some bicycles.  The bike riding didnt go quite as well as planned, but was still fun.  Athena still needs training wheels, and the ones on her rental bike where kind of crooked, which kept her off balance. Being in the mountains, there were plenty of hills.  Athena and...

St Patricks Day I n 4th grade, Mom persuaded me to go to school with green food coloring in my really blonde hair. I had a good case of stage fright, but I suspected it would end up being fun, and it was fun. I repeated that again in 10th grade and perhaps once during college. 9:45 Today, Im doing it again, but my hair is a lot darker now, so the green isnt as obvious. So I smeared it all over my face. Time to go in to work now. If youre from some nearly-all-caucasian city, you live a completely different life. Im pretty much a minority in this tech center of California where most of the workers in my area are Indian or Chinese. So, going to work means crossing paths with many people who are not likely to automatically think "Oh yeah, an Irish tradition" when they see me with a green face. I was not wanting to walk around much at work. 10:45 I slipped into my work cubicle with no one seeing my decoration, though I greeted those nearby and received greetings back. 10:55 The co...

South East Tour Day 4 Audubon Zoo This morning begin with the hot moggy Lousiana air putting us all a little on edge.  Kim and I did what we could to get everything packed and loaded up, but I think to any bystanders we just like crazy people as we tried to get our grumpy kids and our grumpy selves ready for the day.  Once fully packed we hit the road headed for the Audubon Zoo. On the way was a police trap checking to make sure everyone was buckled.  When we pulled up he looked in and said, "Is everyone buckled?  ... Ok, got on through."  I think he only noticed Kim sitting in the middle as we where pulling away.  Im not sure what we would have done if he had seen her and started to ask questions. At the zoo we met one of Kims old coworkers at Fairview, Rhonda.  She was the star of the day.  She paid for all of us to go the zoo including lunch, snow cones, and gifts for the girls.  Aurora was really excited to see the elephants, while Athena...

South East Tour Day 8 Nashville to Smoky Mountains This morning Kim and I woke to the 7:30 alarm we set on her phone.  We immediately began packing and gradually got the girls up, dressed and fed. There was a pretty heavy overcast, but we were going to try and get a dip in the lake before we left.  However, as soon as we got fully packed up and down to the lake it began to pour and thunder.  The swim was going to act as our final "bath" before we headed to the Smokys, as there are no showing facilities there.  Since the lake wasnt going to happen, we drove up to the bath house and took proper showers.  We were scheduled to turn in our rental car today, which meant the GPS had to go with it.  We couldnt find our Tennessee map, so we decided to meet somewhere dry to figure out what to do next.  Kim led us I.to a McDonalds/gas station that had free wireless.  There we filled up our tanks, ate brunch, and pulled up directions on our Chrome laptop, whi...

South East Tour Day 0 Getting Ready Starting tomorrow (technically today since it is past midnight) we will be heading off for a two week adventure across the South-East in our 1980 Volkswagen. We will be heading West to New Orleans, which Ive been really wanting to visit for quite some time. We will then head North to Nashville, going back East through Nashville to Asheville, NC, then back down South and probably home. We still have not yet planned our trip past Asheville, but it will probably involve a stop in Augusta, GA and a final stop at the Okefenokee Swamp State Park. I have been able to use this trip as a way to motivate us to get some things done on the van that Ive been meaning to take care of for quite some time.  I had my mechanic do some major engine work.  Kim and I also made curtains for the windows.  In fact, we just got done after midnight finishing the curtains. The three girls are really excited about this trip, and Arianna has asked practically every ...

South East Tour Day 6 Trip to Memphis This morning we ate breakfast and left for Memphis.  Kim punched in the address to the Volkswagen dealership in Memphis and we left.  I spent most of the trip driving between 60 to 70 mph and the van held up very well under these conditions. We arrived at the dealership at 5:15 and I was feeling pretty good about making it when I hit the key and accidentally turned off the van in a place that was not very good for push starting, which kind of killed my high from making it.  Mark at the dealership told me how to get to the place that had my starter, but they where closing in fifteen minutes, and I still had to push-start my van, which wasnt going to happen in time to get there and picked up the starter. Mark arranged to have them get the starter the next day since we already knew where they where at, which we agreed to.  Kim and I tried to push start the van but it wouldnt work.  Finally a mechanic shop hooked the van up to a...

Software Freedom Day 2009 Software Freedom Day is a world wide celebration of Software Independence. Open Source community gathered together to celebrate the event. Here in the Philippines, one of the organizers is the Bluepoint Foundation, this was held last September 19, 2oo9 at the National Computer Center, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City. The event was attended by more than 500 delegates from different colleges and universities in the Philippines, there were many who would like to attend SFD 2009 but due to a limitted capacity of the NCC to accomodate such big crowd, late online registrants were not able to attend this big event. The event was done simultaneously in three different locations at the NCC, one happened at the Audio Visual Room, the other one happened at the seminar room and another one at the overflow area which is located at the NCC lobby. At 8:30 in the morning guided by the programme timeframe, as one of the organizers team member, we started the...
