Whats been happening….

I know, I know… I need to write more on here and it should be interesting :-)

Anyways, things have been busy busy lately. The field effort for the Aberdeen Minelab testing finished up last week and I have been in Hershey since. I have been involved with the testing of a new positioning system (ranger) that relies on the timing of radio transmissions. The ranger system seems impressive providing accuracy of around 20cm.

Over the last week I have also been gaining some experience with the Geonics EM-61. It is the main competitor for G-tek’s TM-5 Emu.

In a week or so I will be starting on a project in Devens, Massachusetts. It is an EM-61 UXO project. I expect to be there until I head to Fort Lowry, Colorado. At Lowry I will be part of the office crew turning the data around for the client.

Between all this training and learning, I managed to get down to Gettysburg, PA. Gettysburg is around 90 minutes south-west of here and it is where Abraham Lincoln presented the famous Gettysburg Address in 1863. I have uploaded all my piccies to the gallery.

And finally, what sort of brother would I be if I did not mention Ellen’s Birthday!!! On the 22nd, she turned a whopping 22!! Be sure to keep an eye on her website for some piccies!

New Cell Number

I have a new USA cell/mobile number. I was unable to reactivate my old number as it has been allocated to someone else. Contact me to find it out!

Baltimore

The weekend has been pretty good with a trip down to Inner Harbour in Baltimore. Terry, Alex and I went to the Aquarium where we spent a couple of hours observing the exhibits and watching a dolphin show.

After the aquarium, we went for a walk around the area.. as usual I had my camera handy and the pictures can be found in the gallery :-)

Closure of Free SMS

Filed under: EasyMessaging, bahuma.net — Chris Parker @ 12:11

As most of you know, I closed Bahuma Free SMS on March 26th. It was sparked by a change in webhost which made me revisit the code that runs free sms. Essentially, the code is a disaster and contains more insecurities than I would like to admit too. I will be trying to get it going again but it needs a bit of time which I am short of at the moment. I will let everyone know when I have a working re-release (SMSv4)…

Hanging in Maryland

Filed under: General, Work — Chris Parker @ 12:05

Heya,

I am currently at Aberdeen in Maryland. I am here for a test project at the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). It is fairly nice here and the weather has been favorable :-) The project is on schedule and is set to finish on the 14th.

I am looking forward to the weekend as we are heading down to Baltimore to relax on the coast and have a sea food dinner :D

I still have not managed to get a mobile phone over here, so it is best to contact me via email.

Back in Hershey, PA

Filed under: General — Chris Parker @ 10:02

Hi ho,

I am in Hershey, PA and am enjoying the lovely rainy weather we are experiencing today :-) I had a reasonable flight over with the only glitch being a 3 hour weather delay in Chicago.

Work has been good so far and I am off to Aberdeen, Maryland on Sunday afternoon my time. Hope all is well in AU!
