I bought new cell phones (Motorola Razor v3) for the whole family and I’ve just gotten them connected to my laptop. I’m trying to get my calendar and contact list on Gmail to download to it. The MPT (Motorola Phone Tools) lets you tie Outlook or Lotus Notes to your phone. The 5th gen video ipod has a tool to convert Gmail Calendar into your iPod. That might be an interesting place to start. It would be nice to tie the calendar together for the whole family on our phones.
The phone itself is actually quite a powerful little toy. The mobile java is an interesting environment.

Katie is going to China. She setup a blog on livejournal Kate Escape to talk about her travels here and in China.
Sam just got back from Spain Monday. He is taking entrance exams at NC State and Wake Tech CC. He did really well on them.
I’ll be moving the mcgarware and darkmagic web server, domain and email over this weekend to the new Sun Ultra server and network. Oh, boy. It should be fun.
The family Sam stayed with are here in the US in New York and heading down to see us this week. You’ll see some of that in Katies log. We will be traveling this month with them here and there. I’ll post more later on it.

Welcome back to my life. Been a few months since I’ve been able to organize my thoughts.
Had my parents over for my birthday. It was pleasant to have them over at my house for the first time. My daughter is leaving for China and my son is getting back from Spain. They will be passing each other overlapping for about a week.
The game programming is coming along. Python and PyGame are the back on my things to do for fun list. I’ve been digging apart Sean Riley’s book and distilling the patterns. Read a book at B&N on patterns and designs of games. It was interesting to think of games as patterns. Breaking things down simplifies fun into components. Tic-Tac-Toe here I come.
My day job is entering an interesting phase of the project. Massive upgrades of the infrastructure and large amount of knowledge transfer. I’ve been in classes every other week for the last two months. It’s only going to accelerate in the coming months.
My sister-in-law is in Washington state doing well with the pregnancy. Daniel is still abroad doing his thing overseas.
I’ll be back here in a bit.
