I recently read an article about a weapon that Israel is working on creating. I tiny robot that can fly around, take photos and yes KILL!

This brings new meaning to “Killer Bees”:

Israel developing anti-militant “bionic hornet”

A lot of people have been asking when I will be leaving to go back to Germany. Well, I’m not really sure as I have to go through the security stuff and atleast get it started. I do know however that I am going out the mid-west (Omaha and Idaho somewhere), for the last week of November and the first week of December. That’s if I can get out of jury duty on the 6th of December.

I’ll post when I’m going as soon as I know.

Things are never dull with me.

The company I work for now CSB-System International wants me to go to Germany again to work on a project at one of the biggest US military base over there, Ramstein. (no, not the band) They need an American citizen with security clearance, so that someone has access to our software system once it is installed. I’m the best candidate to do this, since I’m the only US citizen working for the company that is fluent in German. That means that I will have to get security clearance, although I don’t know yet what type of clearance I will need. However it means they will being doing an extensive background check on me, and unfortunately that will probably include contacting friends, family and former employers that I have had contact with in at least the last 10 years. So, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I don’t think it should be anything too serious. But, if you receive a call from some government official asking about me…

I’ll be posting the progress here if you want to follow how it is going.

My new computer came today! I’m really excited! It’s a dual core and 2nd from the top or the line. The top of the line was twice as much. 🙁 I can’t wait to set it up! I also have a set up with two monitors. Unfortunately, the memory didn’t come with the rest of the shipment, so I can’t get it up and running yet. But, I did set up the monitors with my old computer. It’s not quite the same, but at least I can try the monitors. Hopefully, the memory will come soon!

Man, am I a computer nerd, or what?…

I’ve added site feed for my blog. You should see a link over on the right below my profile. I’ve also included links explaining what RSS/Atom Feeds are. There are a ton of readers out there. Personally I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email and a feed reader is included in the application. If you do a search on “rss feed readers for windows” or “rss feed readers for Mac” or “atom feed readers for windows” or “atom feed readers for Mac” you should find some good ones. You can also at rss/atom feeds in gmail as well as their new Google Reader Here’s some help with gmail. How do I add custom feeds to ‘Web Clips’? The new yahoo mail also has a built in reader. Lot’s of possibilities

To get the address for the feed. Choose either ATOM or RSS. Then you can either right click on the link and copy the link, then paste in your reader, double click and a new window will open. You’ll either get a bunch of code or an error, because your browser probably can’t read it, but you want to copy the address that shows up in the address bar and paste it into your feed reader.

And of course if you have any questions or need some help comment here or email me and I’ll do my best to help.
