Web updates from the road

Several updates today while traveling down 81.  Last evening we were lacking Internet connectivity (only miles away from where we were).  So today I got to update the blog, check the forum, and play with a side project.

WheelInterested from the forum and several other folks have been looking for a photo gallery at the digital rv.  Well, we’ve got one…sort of.  There is now a gallery, located at http://www.digitalrv.net/gallery.  The software is functioning, but one annoying catch.

Supposedly it can integrate with the forum software and use the same user database.  This would save people having to create logins for each system.  So far though, all testing has been hit & miss.  Sometimes the shared user names work, sometimes they don’t.  I’ll continue working on a final solution, but in the meantime the photo gallery is available as a “stand alone complex”  ;)  By that I mean, folks can sign up and use it, but you’ll need to create a user name and password.  It is not sharing that data with the forum at present.  Sorry, I’ll keep working on it.

So far the digital gadgetry has been working well.  We’re on the net, sharing photos and stories, the whole 9 yards.  Nothing bad to report, other than my lack of vision regarding a tire.  ;)  For more on that click here.

Off to sleep now.  Did you remember to Spring Ahead?

Updates from Route 81

Well, I’ll be doing a great deal of updates on digital toys soon.  Today is day number two of traveling southward.  I’ve put in plenty of trip updates on Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles (my personal blog).  Check them out when you’ve got time.

I will say, all things digital have been used heavily so far.  The list is as follows:

  • Digital Camera has been snapping away.  Check the Airstream Chronicles for some photos.
  • Cell phone:  Tons of usage.  Especially after a flat tire we received yesterday (also blogged on the chronicles).
  • Laptops:  Entertainment and communications.  Waiting 5 hours for a tire gets old.
  • Portable LaCie Drive:  All my recorded shows and DVDs are on it!
  • IGo Power supply:  Only had DC power available yesterday.  Tom’s laptop needed some power too!

That’s the short update for the Digital RV.  Pop by the Airstream Chronicles if you want the whole story.
