First off, thank you everyone for the kind wishes, visitations, conversations, and everything that helped Danielle (and I) these past few weeks.
Now I’ve got a few things I want to do. I’m going to write them down and then hope I get them done ASAP:
· Obtain CISSP certification. (Hope to do this by the end of July.)
· Design and make available (CC) PCB for a lightning detector. (Unknown estimation, but before thunderstorm season finishes.)
· Finish migration to banstyle.nuxx.net. (Maybe the end of July as well?)
· Cycle 50 miles in one go. (This weekend, if things go as planned.) (Done on 07-Jun-2008.)
I keep thinking about picking up a ruggadized point and shoot camera, but I think I should just ride around with my old one and hope it doesn’t fail, then if it does I’ll replace it. I’m hoping to replace my bike wheels soon as they are rather out of true and somewhat flattened in places, and one of the rims has a gouge out of it.
I’ve been quoted ~$320 for a hand-built set with Mavic XM 317 rims, Shimano XT front and rear hubs, and black DT Swiss spokes. This seems pretty reasonable, I just have to be sure I want to afford it. They’d definitely be usable on whatever bike I end up getting next, though…
