The shock of the empty nest...

Oh, but I am in a foul mood.

Upon finishing work, Drew and his friend Brady flew home and - under the watchful eye of Shannon and Huntur - loaded the van and Drew's Honda with stuff and proceeded to move.

They came back for a second load and just left.

I am not mad. I am not sad. I am simply... I don't know what.

I don't feel like writing. I left a load of newly arrived work unlooked at.

Maybe I'm just depressed.

* * *To distract myself, I got to thinking that writing my own Palm application to capture data from the Magellan GPS might not be a good use of my time. A brief session with Google pointed me at a few packages that might do the trick at a reasonable price. I even downloaded one - PathAway - and created maps for it.

It seems to work, but I really don't care.

Maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

Cheers...

I'm okay now, methinks.

Thanks for the offer. I'm trying to limit myself lately to Perl and PHP programming, though I did have the CD for my copy of CodeWarrior out the other day. It turns out that PathAway both does what I want and has a reasonable price tag.

Cheers...

Very good! I'll have to check it out, actually. I've been using Mapopolis recently; it's pretty good, but doesn't record ground tracks. My etrex does, though, so when I need a ground track I let it do its thing and then just stuff the data back into either Delorme or the Garmin software. That was expensive, but worth the cost; it's got nice topo maps of the areas I hike.

As for languages, you're a man after my own heart. (Scraches head as to why he downloaded the latest version of Squeak last night...)
