October 3, 2002 Wow... haven't updated this in forever... Well, decided to start working on my first weedeater powered boat. The hull is an old wooden .60 size nitro about 38" long that I picked up for $30. I've stripped it down and have begun the process of stuffing a 25cc Homelite engine into it ($15 from a repair shop). So, the end goal is to throw this thing together for as cheap as possible. I'm putting pics up here as I work on it: Yard Trash
You may also notice my buddy Brad, of B-Box fame, getting a little happy with some beer cans we brazed together...

February 3, 2002 Swampb00ger is back together!

January 30, 2002 w00t! Finally got a digital camera. It's a Canon A20 and i love it. Anyways, I decided to get my homemade rc airboat back out and thrash it again. Dave McCauley and I got bored one weekend when we where back at WKU, got a case of beer, some styrofoam, and some fiberglass. If you follow this link, you'll see what comes out when you mix it all together - da' swampb00ger. Ran mean as hell till I flipped it trying to run wide open on the grass. The rollbar lasted about 6 flips, then the prop dug in. Was hitting a good 40mph. The engine pulling it was a MDS .48 w/ a 10x7 prop. You'll see it sitting on the nose of the buggy, as the mount completely tore out on the last flip. If I get it running again, I'll try to post some action pics.

January 11, 2002 FYI... I'm still around, just been busy at work w/ the holidays and stuff. I've received lots of good input on PODTool and plan on getting back to work on it soon. Look for POD2 and shell extension support in the next version, among other things. When I get PODTool wrapped up, I plan on getting a beta of the .trk editor ready for release. And yes, I really need to update El Cid. I really appreciate the feedback I receive from ya'll, so keep it comin'.

December 13, 2001 Been real busy with work lately, but after playing 4x4 EVO2, I had to write this. It's a little tool for working with the POD files that are in the game. Yes, it's a windows binary (don't shoot me), but I do plan on releasing the source once I get it cleaned up. Probably over on SourceForge. So...

PODTool 0.5 (beta) has been released. You can grab it via the link to the left. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

April 26, 2001 All the El Cid stuff is on sourceforge.net now. Grab it here: http://elcid.sourceforget.net

March 26, 2001 Ack.. been a while since i've done anything here. Between work and other crap, I just haven't been doing any code at home lately. But, I did throw up elcgi.pl, which is a simple perl cgi script for parsing elcid.log and throwing it up on the web (create links to do reverse lookups through anywho.com too, so it's kinda nifty). Check it out under the El Cid download link on the left and let me know what you think.

January 27, 2001 Re-did the site using java script includes so it's easier to maintain. Let me know if it really sucks, thanks.

January 26, 2001 Put up a small perl script to generate user friendly text output from the log file. Grab elcid.pl from download the section under El Cid if ya want it.

Yes, i just noticed that this page looks screwy under netscape, but then so does everything. I'll fix it this weekend.

First release of El Cid, my cheesy little Caller ID logger for linux. It doesn't know Kung Foo yet, but it may in the future. You can grab the source from the download link on the left.

January 25, 2001 Threw this page together... figured it'll do for now.
