Penguin visits Greenup County Kentucky War Memorial

Posted by Shawn (Who am I?)

On our first Kentucky trip back in May, Penguin had the chance to pay tribute to the troops with a visit to the War Memorial in Greenup County Kentucky along US route 23. The memorial pays tribute to those from Greenup County who served in the various wars of the country. While there, penguin posed with the various military vehicles parked at the memorial site. These photos were taken on May 11, 2008.

Penguin at the Breaks Interstate Park

Posted by Shawn (Who am I?)

Along an area of the border of Kentucky and Virginia lies one of the two interstate parks in the country, the Breaks Interstate Park. While traveling with Penguin in June, we had the opportunity to visit the park and check out some of the views out into the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi from the scenic overlooks.

From one of the overlooks, we were even able to catch a glimpse of a CSX train running along the historic Clinchfield Railroad!

Touch and Go Summer…

Posted by Shawn (Who am I?)

Well this summer has been pretty touch and go as far as work and being online.. One of my uncles has been having a hard fight with his health over the past year. Being as I work online from home and don’t do a typical “go to work” type job, that left me available to drive my mom and aunt to Kentucky to spend time with their brother. The first trek to Kentucky was this past May and we ended up there into June. While at the family homeplace, I was stuck without internet connectivity. Also while there, I had the wonderful fortune of knocking my USB backup drive off the table (taking with it the backups of all of my source code that I had been programming for the last two years - a backup that I had not yet restored after having to reload my notebook)…

So July brought me back to internet connectivity, where I started trying to gather whatever information I could find on the development of my affiliate plug-ins. My hopes were that I would find another copy of the source someplace but I figured the reality would be having to start pretty much from scratch. Reality won out and work started on a new plug-in that would integrate all of the existing affiliate program into a single application.

As August approached, I was about to the point where I could drop my new plug-in out to my beta testers and I was in a decent groove coding when we got word that my uncle was put back in the hospital and was pretty bad off. So we picked up and headed back to Kentucky and have been here since then.

The good news is that my buddy Penguin has been having some adventures but the bad news is that my coding work has been on hold since getting here again. Well, until now… I ended up signing up with Verizon BroadbandAccess which is a cellular internet service which uses a PC Card or USB cellular broadband modem. While the service isn’t super great here sitting between two mountains, I am able to get service allowing me to keep up with email, surf the web, and hopefully get back into a development groove.. (That is if Penguin will quit making me take him everywhere!)

With that said, I’m off to prepare some Traveling with Penguin posts to show off Penguin’s adventures with me and then try to wrap my head back around myNicheShop’s development. Wish me luck!
