Home Again
Greatest picture from MacHack: <http://www.tidbits.com/resources/537/esr-think-different.jpg>
In case any of you don’t recognize the photo, it’s Eric S Raymond, one of the leaders of the Open Source movement, in front of an iBook that was gifted to him by the attendees at MacHack.
Boy that sure was quite a week. The stress of moving to a new apartment, my presentation at PSU’s Macromedia Daze conference, and heading off to Montana to visit relatives from all side of my family really wiped me out. I’m glad I’ve got the 4th of July off from work. I think I would have made into work, but it’s taken me 2 hours just to begin catching up on my mail and web reading at home. I’m sure I’ve got twice as much facing me at work.
But it sure is nice to be home again, even if it’s a long way from being put back together. That’s my big project for the next week or so, then I can focus on collecting, scanning and organizing all the new found genealogy information that my Dad has loaned me. I’m going to be working up 4 ‘books’, one for each of my pairs of great-grandparents: Olson, Coleman, Vasboe, Gessners. It’ll be a lot of work, but I’ve got a great start.
