Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! It's Ascension Thursday. Little known fact: the feast is a state holiday in Finland. [I know because half of our team is there]. 6:12am

The Thankful Thursday meme: 1) So far Michelle's radiation treatments are side effect free, 2) We noticed this morning that Michelle's eyebrows are growing back, 3) Claire presented her NH state required ePortfolio yesterday. It's a graduation requirement to go on to high school. 6:16am

Dropped the girls off, went to Ascension Thursday Mass, and now waiting for a fresh buzz cut. Michelle is dropping the boys off. 8:37am

First post from Claire's updated laptop. All looks good so far. The update completed while I took Michelle out for lunch. Now I'm back to debugging cube maps and Michelle's on her way to get zapped. 12:29am

Back from a Step & abs class followed by a muscle core class. Time to put the boys to bed and have some dinner. 8:04pm

Bookmarks I made today:

The HTC EVO™ 4G with Google™. Only from Sprint.
Comment: So the highly anticipated (in the cell phone world) HTC EVO now has a release date of June 4th. Do I upgrade my aging phone with this new über-phone? I've skipped over several models that have our graphics engine in them. This would be the first phone I owned that I contributed to.
Excerpt: Wireless carrier Sprint on Wednesday said HTC's Evo 4G smartphone, which could provide unprecedented data transfer rates to smartphones, will debut in the U.S. on June 4.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Features
Comment: While going through my morning email, I'm also having Claire's laptop update to the new Ubuntu 10 major OS release. Fingers crossed that everything still works after the update. It's a pretty old laptop.
Excerpt: Ubuntu is an operating system built by a worldwide team of expert developers. It contains all the applications you need: a web browser, office suite, media apps, instant messaging and much more.
