Road Trials
Category None
I made a trip back to Washington last week. While I had planned on blogging during the trip, I found that while I could replicate my mail on the road, I could not access the blog database (the same time-outs that people have complained to me about). I asked the ISP that keeps saying the connection is working fine to sit someone in front of a browser and actually try and open my web-site. While I didn't hear what that "user" experienced, I did get a message from the local installer that they were going to come out and realign the satellite dish.
Of course the week I was in DC corresponded with the local school's spring break, so I ended missing most of the people I know professionally. I did get to spend one evening catching up with two ex-employees which was exciting and I met with one of my ex-business partners that I hadn't seen in quite some time which was also good.
On a personal note, it was great to experience some warm summer weather this early in the year (a phenomena that has not occurred here as of yet - we're still in the 40s), but some of the trip was marred by having both our car, and our daughter's car break down during the week. It's discouraging to take a trip, and then spend 2 of the 5 days at your destination hanging out in a repair shop.
