avm's Journal: 2007

In keeping with my recent trend of one journal entry per year, here it is for 2007.

I now live 250 miles away from the last place. I drive a tractor trailer for a living, and build/ride motorcycles for fun. I own my home, have a nice car, and make a tolerable wage for the area. My son is now 17 months old and interested in EVERYTHING, especially of a mechanical or electronic nature. I'm a single parent...my wife has abandoned both of us and the divorce is in the works.

I'm still very much a computer geek, but my focus shifts as my career does...right now I'm fiddling around with free software for over-the-road truckers to keep their logs with. What lovely reading, those FMCSA regs are. Lots of truckers have a laptop, so portability is key...must work on Windows, Mac and Linux equally (pretty much spells out J-A-V-A doesn't it?).
