Hurricane

Well that’s a no-go on the Vectric User Group meeting.  The hurricane that’s keeping people from flying in to Orlando for the meeting is also keeping me from driving down for it, not because of any danger in the drive but because we’re forecast for gusts up to 70 mph here and I can’t see myself leaving my family to fend for themselves.

On that note, I expect to be incommunicado here shortly.  The last time a hurricane came close enough to affect us it was cat 1 and we lost power and most cell service for 3 days.  Since then the city has spent 10 years and millions of dollars hardening the infrastructure, mostly replacing wood telephone poles with concrete and steel poles, but that’s not done in most of the neighborhoods yet.  So I don’t know what’s going to happen.

If you email me, I may not be able to respond as rapidly as usual.  I will if I can, otherwise it’ll be when I get back online.
