This week in Wayward Packet -- Freeman Park

Hey, finally a new Wayward Packet! This time we check out the great North Carolina beach -- Freeman Park.

A new start

Looking to get a new start with RouseWorld.org, maybe this time I can keep the updates coming with help from my wife, Jennifer. She's going to be making contributions to the site as well.

I've also hopefully fixed the problems with commenting, although I'm keeping the requirement that folks register.

Some good news

Just in case you haven't already heard (but still read this website), on this past Christmas Eve I proposed to the most wonderful woman in the world. Jennifer accepted, and we should be getting married in the summer of 2008.

As to the particulars of when and where, as soon as we've got that all sorted out we will let you know.

Trying out a new version of MT

I'm trying out a new version of Movable Type. It looks there there are some interesting new features that might make it easier to maintain the site's look across multiple sections, but I doubt that the look of this old site will change much (unless I just go totally nuts and re-do everything).

Telekinesis - Control your Mac from your iPhone

Most of the new Apple computers shipping today come with a neat remote control, allowing the user to control presentations, the iTunes media player, DVD player and Front Row while away from the keyboard. Unfortunately, my G5 tower doesn't have one — but I do have an iPhone and I've recently found a fun web application called iPhone Remote that makes good use of the iPhone's display and modern web browser.

It's a tiny bit geeky to setup, but it is worth it.
