Holidays with Family
I made it down to SoCal with out incident. I got from the ExtraCar lot through check-in and security in about 45 minutes. The flight from Sea-Tac to Burbank was full but uneventful.
I spent most of my first day down here shopping for gifts and fixing my parents computers. It took several hours but I finally gave up and had to recover (reinstall) windows and all the drivers (but not the programs) on my mother's laptop. I also installed firefox on her laptop and on my folks main desktop computer.
After going out to dinner with my parents and my grandmother this evening, I spent a couple of hours introducing my Dad to podcasts. The biggest difficulty he seemed to run into was the inconsistency in UI of the various directories and in the podcasters' site lay out. We downloaded several sample podcasts and burned them on to CD-Rs for him to listen to on his way back to San Jose next week.
Tomorrow we (my folks and I ) drive from Glendale out to my brother's place in Norco. There we'll have a big family dinner and open presents. Should be a good party and a fun time with my niece, nephews and their cousins.
