Hammin’ It Up, originally uploaded by maxkelley.

My 2-meter transceiver provided courtesy of AF2K (Icom IC-27H). I probably wouldn’t have been on the air for a long time if he hadn’t lent me this radio. Lately, I’ve been dialing up my highschool’s Echolink and IRLP nodes (357515 and 4799, respectively) and been having a lot of fun with it. Connect up, see if you can find me (I think that, at this time, the IRLP node is down.. I will post when it’s back up)

73,

Thanks Norm, W2NWT, for the IRLP node # correction.

Hah… I just stumbled upon one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a bit.. LOLCODE

For example, here would be the classic “Hello world!” in LOLCODE:

HAI WORLD

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Or, if you like some IF.. THEN.. ELSE.. loops:

HAI
I HAS A VAR
VAR IZ 10 O RLY?
YA RLY
VISIBLE "YOU HAVE 10"
NO WAI
VISIBLE "YOU DON'T HAVE 10"
KTHXBYE
KTHXBYE


I IS LAFFING.

Well, the ham’s in the oven, only a couple more minutes of cooking left, but, oh wait, there’s another ham that’s been made! Yes, that’s right, my callsign is KC2SPY! Happy Holidays..

Well, I’ve regained control over my website.. for a while, my own IP had been somehow banned from my webhost’s server, making me unable to post anything (not that I would have had the motivation to anyhow :)) Right, so, I have obtained an amateur radio operator’s license, and I’m currently of the technician class. Unfortunately, my license hasn’t yet come in the mail from the FCC, otherwise I would give you my callsign… Speaking of ham radio, I’ve been working on a nifty little tool for ham callsign lookup and mapping! Check it out at http://craplandia.org/hamcall/. Oink! More to tell, more fun updates.. for a later time
