Docbook in Czech!

Jirka Kosek, fellow member of the OASIS DocBook Technical Committee, has created a reference website for DocBook written in Czech!

Though I don't understand any of it, it's great to see Docbook encouraged anywhere!

Czech it out! :-) http://docbook.cz

Happy Birthday to my best friend.

Just a short post to wish my best friend, Don Morgan, a very happy birthday. (yesterday)

Don and I have been best friends since 3rd grade. That's almost 25 years now! It's a rare occurence to be blessed with such a close friendship. (Proverbs 18:24)

From Campus Journal:

How would you define the word friend? One small boy said a friend is "someone who knows all about you and likes you just same."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous American essayist, said, "A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."

According to an old Arab saying, "A friend is one to whom we may pour out all the contents of our hearts, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and blow the rest away."

Coincidentally, my friend Kent and his wife, welcomed Trevor Jackson Gregg into the world yesterday, too! Congratulations!

A member of the CAST

I have been a member of CAST for a while, no not a Persona Dramatis on Broadway (though I had a cousin in the original Chorus Line...) or working for the Walt Disney company.

CAST is the Colorado All-season Spotter Team. I've been to several training sessions, and ventured out on several storm chases as part of this team.

I have been a member of SKYWARN since I originally started at Sun back in 1995. SKYWARN performs a similar public service, as far as watching the skies and reporting severe weather back to the National Weather Service offices.

CAST, however, also takes into account our severe winter weather here in Colorado.

My soul reason for getting my HAM license (KC0BAX) was to have a means of reporting severe weather as part of SKYWARN and CAST.

Now that I've lived outside of Boulder for the last 5 years, I have noticed that the Pikes Peak SKYWARN group seemed to be more active than the Denver group. It is really a shame, since there are so many weather experts in the Denver/Boulder area.

Recently on a storm chase out to Sterling, CO, I met storm chaser Tony Laubach (KCØONL). Even though we both struck out on that chase, it was nice to meet another chaser and swap information!
