This coming Monday, I shall be off to Houston for a week of learning, I hope. It has been a very busy few weeks in the office and it would be nice to get away and just learn new things. There will be much changes coming and about time to re-tool. Actually, I have been re-tooling since coming here. Learning about applications using technologies I have not known about before. And in the past few months, routing back to more familiar but still new MS technologies. Really challenging - lots of issues and problems that had to be quickly resolved, yet so interesting. I guess there is more than a fair bit of the chip off the old block in moi - like my dad.
The kids have been doing fairly well so far, I think. I know the half man is, the girl is more reticient about sharing. The half man has no choice, his teachers send the results electronically. Check out schoolnotes.com - the teachers post homework and other assignnents there so parents can keep track. Pretty cool.
Summer is one day away from being officially over. It has been a glorious and very enjoyable season so it shall be missed. Fall is here and today, the first rains of the season started falling. So we went off to the high school pancake breakfast to raise funds for the school band with raindrops falling gently on our heads. The kids were also washing cars, ostensibly for free but donations are always expected :). The whole day has been rather gray on account of the rain.
It was quite enjoyable at the breakfast - familiar faces like Keng and Nic and some others. And a colleague and his family who were, to my surprise, also part of the social circle of Nic. He has been a great help to me on getting licences and software for our project. Nice guy.
I can hear dinner coming in through the garage. So more later...
