Here is a pic of my new desktop in Vista...and yes it moves and is kinda cool.

It is Tim's golden birthday tomorrow and I thought I would honor him with this picture I snagged on Friday.  Happy bday dog!

Carl and Mark are hosting the EnGraph booth at the CTAA EXPO 2007 in Reno, NV this week.  If you are in attendance, please come and see our software in action!

I am currently in Grand Rapids, MI, where tomorrow I will visit  EnGraph's very first ParaPlan client, the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids .  In 1999 they were in search of Paratransit Scheduling software to support their transportation service and Carl came across their RFP.  I had recently left Burns & McDonnell as a structural engineer to help make EnGraph a reality. After I started at EnGraph, we eventually decided to build our OWN application around our scheduling SDK's for MapInfo (in lieu of ostensibly selling them as 'tools' for other developers, etc.).  The initial ParaPlan workflow was based on Carl's initial proposal and input from the Red Cross in Grand Rapids.  I used this input from various sources to create ParaPlan 1.0, which debuted in the summer of 2000.  I had built small applications at KU and for my thesis, but this was my first commercial application built entirely by me and it still exists to...

The new my.yahoo has some cool features like this Reader that pops up on any subscribed post that is in 'full-text'. I guess I missed an April post, oh well.

I really like the new MS Virtual Earth Radar on weather.com , it is much better than its predecessor.  Anyway, it suddenly stopped working and kept prompting me to install Flash , then I would hit the link, install etc., and Adobe reported that Flash 9 was successfully installed...However, the radar still didn't show up and some other interactive real estate sites were not either. This seemed to start happening after I switched to the very cool and new my.yahoo Beta, but I do not think that caused it.  I am also running Vista with IE 7 of course. So I started Googling around and found out that other people had the same issue.  The solution is to unistall flash and then re-install it.  This is something I should have done, but didn't...so I thought I would share this with everybody. To uninstall Flash you must use their uninstall executable which can be found here .  Good Luck!

Tim installed LiveWriter and the Flickr Plug-In for me back when I was an XP slave.  Now that I am in Vista, I needed that plug-in so I googled around for it, but actually had a problem finding the actual download site, so I thought I would put the link in a post so here it is:  Flickr4Writer
