results from his current project, an instrument which will use a PC104 computer

|
running Linux. He is building the chassis in AutoCAD using full 3D to place PC
|
|
boards, relays and a lot of connectors. He really wishes he could do that in
|

Linux. He uses Tango for DOS for circuit design and PCB layout. He wishes he

This last month I've just been working, working, working -- no time for
|
|
fun. Riley is off on our annual motorcycle trip without me; he's exploring
|
|
Utah and Arizona, all our favorite parks. So at least one of us is having
|
|
fun. :-)
|
|
<P>
|
|
Actually, I'm having fun too. Working on <I>LG</I> always seems more like
|
|
fun than work and the same is true for <I>Linux Journal</I>. I've also been
|
|
doing some exploring of areas surrounding Seattle with my father-in-law,
|
|
who just moved up to this area. We had a two hour ferry wait last Saturday
|
|
that was frustrating yet comfortable because of the company. I think having
|
|
nice in-laws is a definite plus in life. At any rate, we've seen some
|
|
beautiful scenery, including a trip to Snoqualmie Falls and one to the
|
|
Olympic Peninsula.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
