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...

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...)
