Travel By Desine

All about the travels of Don Wood and Lou Manners.

I started forming for the sidewalk but called it a day early, just because I can.
Still no website. I called the web host, RegisterFly. It shouldn’t take this long to restore the server? They say they’re rebuilding the server. So?? Where’s my site?

10.05.06 | WordPress

I’ve been playing with a new blog application. This blog is using Blogger and, while easy to use, it isn’t very versatile. It’s also damn difficult to change hosts on. This is because while it is hosted on my server it also uses files on Bloggers server as the source and they aren’t easily […]

21.01.06 | New Link Additions

This blog is about the travels of our RV which at sometimes includes just Don, other times Lou and Don, and occasionally Dawn, Lou and Don. Each of these folks may have thoughts of their own. I added Don’s Random Thoughts a while back to remove my non travel related thoughts from this travel blog. […]

18.12.05 | Slingbox

Tonight we’re at the Pinnacles. There are two things that occur here. There are no cell phone signals and there are no TV signals. There are great views and there aren’t many places as nice to visit as the Pinnacles, but no signals.
So…
We use Vonage for our IP phone and that fixes the first problem.
A […]

7.12.05 | Fun With Maps

I have always wanted good maps for this blog that show where we camp and where we have gone. I rather dislike static maps and want an interactive experience using the maps. What I want is a way to navigate the reports of our travels by clicking the map to get more detailed information. I […]

I added a couple of new articles to our RVexperience. Both these articles are related to yesterday’s experience, sort of. One is about our macerator pump that is used to drain the holding tanks using a small hose and when the drain point may be up to 20 feet higher than the RV.
The other article […]

6.07.05 | Visitation Map

Here is a map of the states we have visited in our RV. Green states are more recent visits in our SeaBreeze RV. Yellow states were visited in our VW camper van, mostly in 1979. Blue states haven’t been visited. In between the older visits and the more recent visits we tent camped mostly on […]

7.05.05 | Missing Part Run

Friday, I had to dash down to Camping World to get a missing shelf for the new refrigerator. Several other errands and some shopping and I made it to Dawn’s house in San Jose to do a little more work on the fence. I installed the lattice work on top of the fence. The neighbors […]

8.11.04 | I proved it again!

I think there must be some scientific formula relating the status of computer backups to computer failure. My laptop’s hard drive failed yesterday and it’s in the shop getting a new drive. I was worried I may have lost some pictures but fortunately they all seem to be backed up. Loosing those would have been […]

I’ve had it for months and it’s finally working. A webcam. I got the Motosat satellite setup with a public IP address to allow it to connect the camera to the web. Now, all I have to do is get it mounted. It’s not too exciting now since we’re parked at home, but it should […]
