31
So here I am in Saint Louis, Missouri again. I guess it's better than being in Washington, DC. Looks like this is where I will be come Halloween time too, instead of getting to be home and have Halloween with my kids and the rest of the family.
Today I wandered around with the camera a bit, taking practice pictures to see what different settings mean to the pictures. I've had this camera for, oh, 3 years now, think I'd have done that before now. But I think I have a good handle on the different f-stop settings now. I don't think I will be posting any of these pictures though. Maybe.
I thought I wanted to write more, but I guess this is it. Not like anyone reads this anyway. And yet, here I am...hmmm.

Updated
I have updated and re-arranged my photo gallery. I uploaded some pictures I thought were already there, and just did general organizing. I am thinking of switching over to Google's Picasa or Yahoo's flickr. I need to look them over better before I switch. Plus, Flickr has a 100MB per month upload limit, which wont normally be a problem, but uploading what I already have would take a few months...

So it's been almost a month
...since I posted on this thing. I seriously don't think anyone noticed. Well, maybe the webhosts noticed the lack of traffic hehe.
The last post was made during a rare 2 consecutive week home stay. I really liked being home. I need to get a real job. After I went back, I spent basically 2 mind numbingly boring weeks at the shop in Mooresville, NC. This past week I have been in St Louis, MO at various Boeing facilities.
While here in St Louis, the hotel we are at didn't have internet because they were changing providers. Once they got it, it was a) a weak signal and b) hooked up wrong. I convinced the hotel manager to let me look at the wireless router, and sure enough the installer hooked up the "internet in" wire into the wrong port on the wireless. 10 seconds later we had internet. Albeit still weak, but usable none the less. Oh, and it's range stinks. My room is less than 50 feet from the router, and yet I get no signal in my room with the door closed. So I have the little desk thing propped in the door, getting me loads of strange looks from the people walking by in the hall. But the range is limited because the installer and hotel people are both smart and hid the wireless router in a big steel box with other electronics, severely limiting range.
Oh wells, it's off to the DC area tomorrow...
maybe I will write more, and not wait another month.
but will anyone notice if i don't?
