Things have been up in the air for the past 6 months with regards to where would be best for Brittany to live. Now it is just her that will be up in the air (she got a job that involves flying).

Halifax will continue to be home for a while. The things that make Ontario so attractive for Brittany are obviously #1 Family, and #2 a B.Ed. taking 1 year in Ontario and taking 2 years here in Nova Scotia. I suspect that much like Nova Scotia’s old 5 year engineering programs it will eventually move to a 1 year program to stay competitive with the rest of the country.

In other news, my ‘carputer’ has been working really, really well lately. I had been using a 36 inch IDE cable to wire the 2.5″ hard drive running the Carputers OS, and ever since I switched that long IDE cable for a short one the system has been totally stable, surviving easily cranking, and long spans of time with the car shut off.

Also now working on the carputer:

• the USB GPS puck that feeds the car’s co-ords to a modified version of iGuidance mapping/navigation software. iGuidance is modified by iGMod, which makes it more touch screen friendly
• the USB wirless steering wheel controls, allows for next/previous track and GPS/Music selection
