Doug

Last week Doug passed his Technician class Ham license test with a score of 100%! No call letters yet, but they should be out this week.

He came very close to passing the General as well....without studying for that!

Also had his birthday and I need to get some new pictures up of that and Austin and my birthday as well.

Kinda poky on blogging lately.

One other thing going on is that I'm learning how to run my new phone. It's an HTC Mogul Windows Mobile device. Sprint and EVDO mean FAST internet!


OOOOOH and I found an IBM mainframe simulator program! Kind of looking forward to playing with that and seeing how much of what I learned back in the 80s that I have forgotten.

I went to school for IBM mainframes (43xx/DOS/VSE/CICS/COBOL) and only used it for about 6 months at Computoservice writing assembler programs. If it wouldn't have been for that I'd have never used the skills! I went to work at Northwest Airlines and did Unisys (Univac/Sperry) assembler work most of my mainframe life. Well, I can program in assembler bi-lingually I guess. Or at least I could at one point!
