I'm headed to bed, hoping for 8 hours sleep, though if I want to leave at 6am I'm not going to get it! I've got the car loaded, but still have to do a bit of packing of clothing in the morning.
The Corvette should get a workout this weekend, 2 drivers in SS and 1 driver in SM2!
I'll post from Toledo later this weekend.

I must say, last week I though Wipeout was a darn funny show. This week, it is just as funny, this show is great!

I hear the INETA newsletter went out on Tuesday morning so I can finally make this blog post, though I have still yet to see a copy of the newsletter. It is with great pleasure that I get to post that I have been added to the INETA Speakers Bureau , I...(read more)

Earlier today while browsing Twitter (the INETA folks got me started on it a few weeks ago) I saw a message from Joe Brinkman about www.hundredpushups.com. Being that I was at work, I decided to read about the site (putting off work of course) (hi Rich, how's Florida? for the uninformed Rich is my boss). After reading about the site I though, wow, I should do that!
So here's the basic premise. First step, you "test" yourself, see how many pushups you can do from the get go, then, for the next 6 weeks there is a program you follow to build up your numbers, over those weeks you end up testing yourself again and adjusting the program as you go along, with the ultimate goal of being able to do 100 pushups in a row.
So I've started, today is day Zero, I did my "test" and will attempt to do Day 1 tomorrow. For my test I did 20 pushups, I should have pushed myself further, I figure I may have been able to do 2 to 3 more tops. Based on the numbers in my test I am supposed to do the following for Week1 10-10-8-6-7+ tomorrow, 12-12-10-10-10+ on day 2 and day 3 15-13-10-10-15+.

Natalie and I haven't gone to a movie in a while (a while for us is a month or so), so we went to see Hancock tonight.
I must warn you now, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! This was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, if not ever. I like Will Smith, I generally like his movies, but this one, I don't know what the point of the movie was, seriously. I want my 18.50 back!

So a few weeks ago I finally bucked up and built myself a new computer for gaming/development/video editing at home. I went with a Q6600, 4gb of ram, 1.15tb of drive space (150gb 10krpm, 1tb 7200rpm), a 550w power supply, and a shiny new case. I also...(read more)

Check out this story of a crazy lady who lost her dog, didn't go to animal control for two weeks (after someone had already adopted it) and then stole the new owner's cat!
Granted, I would be pissed if I lost my dog and someone wouldn't give it back, but this was a little drastic.

Well, I've been home 24 hours and already spent a day working, a few hours at the local .Net user group meeting and time working on my new computer. I also got to spend some time with the beautiful wifey, though I am sure she would rather I had spent more time with her!
Tomorrow I'll repeat the work part, and hopefully get more time with Natalie.

Well the Peru National Tour is over and I am finally back home. I left St. Louis on the 19th of June and made it home, 10 days later.
Sunday of the Peru National Tour was better than Saturday, I finally managed to get a clean run, as did Dave. I think I ran the 5th fastest time in SS today, so I was happy with that. On my third run I ended up blowing out the far turn around, after that I pushed it a little hard in the slolom and paid the price with a little case of the white tornado.
I ended up moving up 2 positions for the day, as did Dave who was less than 2 tenths back from me on his best run today.
I'll work on getting video up from the event over the next few days. You can find 3 videos from yesterday here on this flickr set, as I post more they will also be listed there..

So the CorvetteZ06.org Team took 9 runs today at the National Tour here in Bunker Hill Indiana. 2 out of those 9 runs were clean, the rest were DNFs and coned runs. Here's a quick overview of what I can remember
Dave
Run 1 (Cones)
Run 2 (Cones)
Run 3 (DNF Cones)
Chris
Run 1 (DNF Cones)
Run 2 (Cone) fast enough for 5th or 6th if clean
Run 3 (Cones)
Beth
Run 1 (Cones)
Run 2
Run 3
I am sitting in 9th, Dave in 11th, Beth in 3rd in SSL.
I've reviewed my video from Run #1, and I don't see anywhere that I DNF'd the course, I did spin through the finish and hit a cone or two, but it sure doesn't look like I left the course at anytime.
Right now tomorrow for Dave and I is just for fun, to see how well we can do in the car after a bad Saturday. I've got video from all the runs today, though it looks like the audio didn't record, I will have to check that out in the morning to make sure we get audio of tomorrows runs.

Since I've acquired new PC hardware, a new laptop and a new desktop, I've been able to finally do some editing of video from races. Though I've only got one run put together. I think the video turned pretty cool. This is one of my runs from the Atlanta National Tour, on Sunday.
The Chase Cam video turned out great, I think I'm going to adjust the settings for the G readings this weekend at the Peru National Tour

Here's a quick DotNetNuke Tip. If you want to have your Copyright statement that will appear in the DNN Copyright token (skinobject) of a skin you can do the following. Edit your Portal's settings, in the copyright section remove the copyright statement...(read more)

So Dang's training went well today, I worked on creating a clean DotNetNuke C# template for WAP projects, I hope to get it tested a bit more and then release it via www.engagemodules.com later this week.
Tomorrow evening I'm off to Peru.
Chris Hammond
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 9:49:53 PM
I tell you, training sure is draining! For the next two days though I am along for the ride, Dang is here to do skinning training so I get to take it easy and help out with the students. Friday afternoon I'm flying to Indy to head up to the Peru National tour.

So I'm sitting here in the hotel, reading ramblings over on http://sccaforums.com, and watching Wipeout on ABC. I wasn't looking forward to the show as it reminds me of that stupid show on Spike TV with the japanese competitors (which I assume it is modelled after).
However, I am almost crying over here, the show is damn funny!

The first of three days of DotNetNuke Training down, module development training on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think my jaw hurts from talking.
It's 9pm, and I'm just getting revived after crashing at the hotel (though not asleep). Didn't sleep to well last night, hoping to try to get to bed earlier tonight.

It might not be in my usual class but it is a ProSolo trophy nonetheless! I placed 4th in the Washington DC ProSolo this weekend in ESP. It was a fun class to run in with the positions changing quite a bit both days.
Now I'm working for a week here in Baltimore then fly to Indy to rent a car and drive up to the Peru National Tour to find my Corvette and hopefully see how well I do against the top level competition that is lined up for Peru.

Well, today went well. First runs in the morning I had a decent time on the left side of the course, the right side though I had cones on both runs. With the cones I ended up sitting in second to last place, 9 of 10. This afternoon though I was able to clean up my runs and get myself into 4th place out of 10.
I'm happy with where I am, though I think I can get some more time out of the left side course tomorrow if it isn't raining. If it is raining I figure the results from today will stand.
