Space Cadet - First Class

如果你在Montreal还有喜欢帮我练习中文说话，你送给我伊妹儿。

Noel dernier a Port Neuf, chez ma tante Therese. En fait, c'est la tante de ma femme. J'espere que je peux faire le raquette beaucoup plus bientot.

Multilingual
I now officially declare this site to be multi-lingual. Well, depending on my ability to use my computer to enter characters in the desired language. For example right now, my computer will do traditional and simplified chinese with no problems, however I can't do a canadian french keyboard. Blame RedHat.

現在,我在台灣,所以我會用中文寫這個網頁.

要是你會看中文,請你幫我寫比較好.

謝謝.

I'm currently travelling for work to Las Vegas. During a flight from Montreal to Philadelphia, another passenger and I asked the stewardess about some land marks we saw. She responded that she never got a chance to look out the window during flights so she couldn't tell us. I often think that working as a flight attendant would be a neat job, but it is more like a scary combination of a nurse and a metro worker.

Flying for them is like riding on the metro is for me. they enter the plane in one place, it shakes around a bit and then they get out in a completely different place

It was also an interesting flight because the CRJ we were flying hit a lot of wake turbulence as we were executing a cross wind landing. At least one wheel hit the ground before the airplane rolled sharply right and left and then the pilot went around.

[Some time later]

My first impressions of Vegas are as follows: everything here flashes and beeps, and people all drive their mammoth SUV's with their dogs on their laps.

Borderline Genius

My wife went to an interesting "girls" evening over the weekend where they talk about various things. The savage neanderthal testosterone filled brute inside me finds this all a little too much crystal-aura-get-to-know-your-inner-child. I wasn't there, so who am I to prejudge.

Actually it sounded kinda neat, as they were talking about birth, early childhood and it's influence on our lives.

However, at some point, Tamarih and an ex-girlfriend of mine were describing me to some other participants. A poor translation of it (it was in French) is "Borderline Genius". Sounds like a psychological disorder.

Code Name: Porridge

OK I have -just figured out a way to talk about work without giving away any secrets! Code words!

Apparently the original stealth fighter program name "Have Blue" was chosen because it was a complete non-sequiter(SP?)

I have been working on a project for the past year or so and I am almost ready to put it to rest. But now I can talk about some new projects I'm working on, but of course I will have to come up with names for all of them.

Already you can guess what domaine I work in so I guess I can mention what category each thing is in. And the categories are...

<ol>
<li>UAV </li>
<li>Robots </li>
<li>spacecraft</li>
<li>autonomous systems </li>
<li>embedded electronics & software </li>
</ol>

Hopefully I will be working on uAV things a bit more now, but that more or less includes all the other categories
