So Steve talked me into an upgrade. I needed to install Windows 7 anyway, and so here was the chance. Bette was gone for the weekend and I had a nice block of time. I ordered a used Gigabyte mobo with processor from eBay. Hmm. So I opened up the box, and found that the [...] We saw this play before at the Woodstock Stage Left Cafe, and it was really good. Bette saw that it was here again and she jumped. It was in the parish hall of the First Congregational Church in Huntley, with an old beat-up dining room table. The players came in and out of the [...] Art came by after a meeting downtown. He is ethnic Chinese, but grew up in the Philippines, so he thinks of Filipino food as home cookin’. So we headed off to Kuya’s, a place he heard about, only a few blocks from the hotel, once we found it. Parking was a little challenging, found out [...] I just found notes on this – must be from 2003 – our Sarah’s friend was finishing college at IU in Bloomington IN, and we went to visit her. She was working on the Little 500 (think the movie) and we managed to drag her for dinner. So I found these notes in an old [...] The Qt WebKit stuff looks really nice. 40 lines to add a lite but featured browser, and you can have Javascript call C++ and vice versa – so buttons in HTML can start C++ processes, and C++ can modify the DOM directly ala Ajax. Social embedded should be a piece of cake. He showed an [...] So far so good – Monday was architecture, Tuesday was specific core libraries and classes. We do exercises on the computer a couple of times a day to demonstrate topics. Today we did one on creating a paint application using the Qt libs. Tricky. I have done all successfully without too much trouble. My background [...] For dinner, needed something light. Found BJ’s Brewery website, I had seen it in the Marriott list, and considered it. It is a chain, so I was not real hopeful. Tonite, it was raining, don’t want to go far. They have “PIRANHA® PALE ALE CHILI”. Sold. So I drive the 0.1 mile, and go in. [...] After I pointed out and he passed a bunch of places to eat on the way back from Point Reyes, Art said he had a place in mind, good Chinese. Fine. He is ethnic Chinese, grew up in the Philippines, and knows Chinese. So we head down the 101 to Millbrae, and exit into [...] Finally made it to the Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Sam’s Chowder House Our 2009 CR-V with AWD has gotten 31 mpg on the trip to work, but much less on the way home. I suspect the trip to work is downhill. There are two Trip displays, A and B, with independent average mpg displays. Trip A is the one I reset to check short trips. Trip B [...] |
