Vacation update

I had a bunch of plans for the vacation.  Some of them actually got done.

Goals:

• Spend time with my daughter, step-daughters and wife (partial credit – probably could have done better, but it was great to have Liane here for the first time in years even just to hang out, and we did a few fun things.)
• Finish reading “Ajax In Action” (partial credit – read the first 10 of 13 chapters and Appendix A.)
• Reimplement the “progress report” part of the navaid.com web site so that instead of re-drawing the entire page every 10 seconds it just grabs the actual count that’s changed and puts it into an appropriate div.  (Not even started.)
• Add some more design notes to the NavData wiki. (Not done.)
• Import some of the user data files I’ve been sent into the navaid.com web sites. (I did a couple, Brazil, Argentina and the UK, but I’ve got a couple more to do.)
• Finish Half Life 2 which I got last Christmas.  I stopped last January when I had some video card problems.  (Played for 15 minutes, got to Ravenholm, got violently motion sick and stopped.)
• Get some flying in. (Didn’t get a single day without low ceilings.)

I probably get a failing grade for that.
