I am off. i will be gone for a week. If I can get to the blog while gone i will update with what I am doing.
I am away because the town is paving close to my house and because They are roofing at work. I get real sick if I get into the fumes.
While away I will try to fix my bike and I will look for more eq for my PAN. I am looking at cameras I can control from a computer or with a bluetooth connection. Other things I need is a bluetooth headset and anything else bluetooth.
I will check with Office Depot in the city near where I am going to get away.
I am open to suggestions for both bluetooth and personal computing.

If it's not good it's bad department.
My presentation monday went well. The group I was presenting to really liked what i did and my boss was impressed. That part good, but the roofing is going on until the end of October. AAHHHHH>>>>>
Sucks, and the building where I have my home away from home office, there is roofing there as well and the town is tearing up the street in front of my home and going to pave it as well as other streets in town.
So I can't be at home because of the paving, can't be at work (either spot) because of roofing and i guess I am going camping for a week or so.
Charge up the batteries on the laptop and get the pocket PC fired up. Chrge the cell phone and take my solar cells with me. Solar powered kayak.
Gonna be fun.
Of course everything at work I am working on is stopped because i am the only coder at the moment as wel as the technical and program lead. I need to clone me.

What ya gonna du?
Tommorow I am going to work and it's one of the more important days in my year. The project I am on is working with some software we got from IBM, namely their middle ware suite WebSphere.
We got a team coming from IBM and it's important I be there so i can give them a show of what I am doing and then basically get a brain dump from them.
Friday I find out that the caretaker group at the plant I work at have started repairing a roof. No big deal but it's one of those flat type of roof and they use hot tar. Tar stinks and the smell can literally kill me. So I may have to miss the most important day of my year and I am pissed.
I am goping to turn up with all of my gear on, Tens, air quality meter, hopefully I can get the spare O2 tank from the firestation and have it with me.
What's a borg got to do to be able to stay at work and stay alive?

Idea
I have been a bit off of ideas lately for what to post here. I had originally thought I would post things like what implants I have and what EQ I am using to augment reality.
That's what we call it now, augmented reality. See the site at eyetap.
Anyway I am also going to report here on my latest work " the internet as collective memory" or We are the net, you will be assimilated.
If someone were to take snapshots of the web we will be able to track the changes in the collective mind of the planet.
For instance if we wanted to see how prevalent a certain Idea is we can just search for it on the web.
One of the things I saw was a comparison of the number of places "coke" is on the web and compare that to the number of places water shows up on the web. In that comparison (on google) we see water shows up 56,100,000 timers and "Coca Cola" shows up 2,500,000 times. This suggests that water is much more favoured over Coke. Not the best example but hey there it is.
So I am assuming that if we search for any thought by creating a google search for keywords we can gauge the level of thought about that particular idea. If we then snapshot the web and can compare the levels of thought on an idea at different times we can gauge the increase or decrease in that line of thought being held around the planet.
This is the collective thought.
Welcome to the internet. Welcome to the collective.

A borg gets a reality check
I have been quiet lately because of work and family and health. It's bbeen a reality check.
I have not had any vacation or even just gotten out to the bush for a few. I have been hard at work on a new initiative with work and our suppliers on a new info management and retrieval system that I hope will revolutionize my bussiness.
I hope you don't mind I don't say who I work for because I don't think that belongs here.
Because of this and because we get summer interns and I had a real fireball this year and I wanted to get the most I could out of him I didn't take any time off for a vacation yet.
At the same time, I think i have mentioned my health problems here before (I have a lung disease and use electrnics for pain control), there was going to be a room at work repainted so I was going to take that week off. The painting got delayed and delayed untill when they started to paint I was only a week away from a release and so couldn't get away and worked from home and another building we have in town.
Now the town is going to repave a street and I will have to evac when they doo that so i will be taking a week or so in about a week.
My reality check in all this is the effect this is having on my health.
