Last Saturday I took a Luca for a drive up to the NERC buy & sell. Caught up with a few guys I haven’t seen for years.
Anyway the APRS track worked pretty well, so that was cool, looks like I’ve finally got the settings in my OpenTracker+ all sorted.
I’ve been using the same wordpress theme for about 3 years, time for a change I think.
I’ve been trying out a new theme over at my ham radio site, seems to be ok, might have to duplicate it here sometime along with the twitter integration.
After a bit of mucking about I got the OT+ from Argent Data going in my car.
Here’s a track from one day this week.
Home to my parent’s in law, where I catch the bus, then from there back home again.
Nothing exciting but you get the idea 🙂 Will probably do some more driving over the weekend and draw spots all over the map!
A few weeks ago I installed the latest version of Zenphoto gallery to manage my photos. I’ve been using the software for 18months or so now and it just gets better and better with each release.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a simple piece of photo gallery software for your site, refreshing after the bloatedness I’m used to in Gallery 🙂
Some time back John NA3J told me he would be in AU some time around the beginning of April, I hadn’t heard a lot back about it and had forgotten about it.
This morning on the way to Office Works to get a printer cartridge I turned on the rig in my car and who do I hear on the local repeater, John NA3J.
So after that freak on air meeting I just had to catchup for a eyeball QSO. Thanks to Bob VK5HAG for organising a catchup, ended up meeting with John NA3J, plus locals Bob VK5HAG, and Kevin VK5KKS at the local Fasta Pasta and having a chat for a number of hours.
I reckon it’s about 9 or 10 years since I first started talking to John over IRLP, I’d be on my way home from work in sunny SA and he’d be on the way to work in freezing Denver.
Great memories and awesome to finally meet up after all these years, a good start to the weekend. Enjoy the rest of your trip and time in VK land John.
