Sooner or later I'm going to be moving to Indiana. That's where all of my wife's family lives, so it's kind of inevitable that I will end up there. I just have to remember not to move to Randolph County. More specifically, anywhere near the “mountain of trash”. According to The Star Press, if the landfill expansion goes through, it will become the highest point in Indiana. Nice.
That got me to wondering, what are the geographical differences between Indiana and Oregon. |

So my comments aren't working, and as I'm sitting here typing this I should probably be working to fix it. But, I will continue to type.
A few people have asked me where I came up with this information concerning what the airline is “ supposed” to owe you when things go wrong. |

I read an article about Found Magazine in the local paper yesterday. It's a really interesting site. Full of notes and pictures that people have found. Whether in the the garbage (what the hell were they doing going through the garbage), or in a used couch they had bought, or found on the ground...... Some of them are kind of interesting.
A few weeks ago, I was reading another article in the paper that talked about this guy who's hobby is going around to photo shops that are going out of business and buying up all their old negatives. Sounded like he had a pretty big collection.
It's weird to think that there exists all these old pictures of people. For some of those people, that might be the only proof that they ever existed. Maybe they were somebody's great great grandfather, and a picture still adorns a wall in a house somewhere. But maybe not. So there are all these pictures floating around. We are coming into an age now, where it seems like we (and by 'we' I mean 'I') are having less pictures developed and doing more digital photography and saving on cds. How much lasting power do these cds of pictures have? Will someone find that cd in the future after I'm long gone? I don't even know where I'm going with this now.....so I'll just stop.
These thoughts are starting to dive to depths that I'm not willing to go to without a cup of coffee in me. |

What the hell is with customer service these days?
Quick note on the fight with United. Turns out, if my wife had gotten to the airport and the flight had been overbooked and she was delayed by more than an hour, then the airline is required to shell out something like $200. If she is delayed more that four hours, then they need to cough up $400. But, if the flight is just delayed because of a mechanical failure, causing her to miss her connecting flight, then not be able to get on any other flights because there is no room and she ends up arriving at her destination six hours after she was scheduled to arrive......then she gets....everyone together now, with feeling....”SCREWED”. After my letters back and forth with Delta, we still haven't even gotten an “I'm sorry.”
I'll I've heard is “Thank you for letting us know. This will allow us to improve our customer service.”
Won't be improving it for me anyway. |

There are some nice tools over at developerFood.
Most look like they cost something
Some look like they might be worth the $50 or $100 they are charging.

One day I'll write another post that has something technical in it. But this isn't going to be that post.
A few years ago the Air Show was removed as one of the Rose Festival events. These days it's called the Oregon International AirShow. It looks like the Blue Angels are back this year. We'll surely be going as Riley is completely infatuated with planes right now. |

I thought it was getting on toward that time of year. The time of year when you really love living in Portland, or the time of year where you'd like to go on vacation for a week or two.
The past couple of years I've avoided downtown like the plague during Rose Festival. May venture down to see the ships with Riley this year though. Just watching the news now. Huh. A week of rain...during Rose Festival. Looks like another Trailblazer just got busted for drugs. Everything sounds like business as usual. |

Holy crap! May went by with only two posts. I've been a little too busy to write anything lately. Been writing lots of code, but that's about it. I have a bunch of links to go through (maybe tonight) so I might toss out one or two of those later on.
For now, get yourself some Gilligan or A-Team. |
