You can consider my Del.icio.us links an extension to my blog, as are my LifeTango goals and my other to-do items. My to-buy list is also public, but only for sharing any useful ideas that might be there; I'm not requesting charity, neither do I offer it.
You can find me easily in google searches, as jcomeau, jcomeau_ictx, or jcomeauictx. There are lots of other jcomeaus, but AFAIK I'm the only jcomeau_ictx out there so far.
If you want to comment on anything you see here, try the new Facebook comments, reachable by clicking the "[comment]" link at the end of each post. If for some reason that isn't working, go ahead and email me, jc.unternet.net. You know what to do with the first dot. Make the 'subject' line something reasonably intelligent-looking or it goes plunk! into the spambasket unread.
This RSS feed may or may not work. Haven't fiddled with it in forever.

A few days ago, I somehow bit, cut, or otherwise injured my tongue, somewhere near the base. Can't localize it. Also, about the same timeframe, the arthritic pain I had been experiencing in my right knee, mostly when going downstairs, disappeared, and resurfaced in my left ankle when walking downhill. Weird, huh? [comment]

Bought a Baofeng UV-82 on Amazon, and got it maybe a week or so ago, but until today haven't had any luck programming the local repeater into it. The PTT-A switch just beeps in frequency mode, and while it works in memory mode, it would switch into a totally different band when pushing it. Finally I figured out that I had to actually enter the calculated transmit frequency (146.910 minus 600MHz, so 146.310) before hitting the menu button another 3 times to save it. [comment]
