Annapurna Circuit, Nepal
Our itinerary was to fly from San Francisco to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Bangkok, and then finally from Bangkok to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Judy was paranoid about the airlines losing our baggage and wanted to bring all our bags onto the plane as carry-ons. This didn’t quite work out because our [...]
Moving to Palo Alto
After several weeks of house hunting (to rent, not buy), we finally decided over the weekend to take a place in Palo Alto. It’s been a fairly tiring process trying to find a place that met all of our requirements: located in a desirable area (nice neighborhood as well as good location from a commuting [...]
Mountains Masterpiece
Judy’s artistic streak continues with this masterpiece entitled “Mountains”. It’s a transcendental expression of the magnificance and grandeur of nature juxtaposed with the ethereal preponderance that characterizes the fragility of our existence. Or something like that.
No Movie Downloads Anytime Soon
I’ve been looking forward to the fruits of the TiVo/Netflix partnership for some time now so this is kind of a bummer.
From Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, during their earnings conference call yesterday:
Well, DVD and High-Definition DVD show great promise. The near term for downloading is not so bright. TV channels such as NBC, [...]
Kicked Out
Our landlord informed us today that he is planning on selling the house we are living in (good timing on his part IMO as the housing bubble is showing strong signs of deflating). As a result, our lease which ends January 15, 2006 will not be renewed. That’s one of the big downsides of renting [...]
BikeBlogs.com
I was just Googling around and found this link to RohJuh.com. They highlight our San Juan Huts trip:
Gotta check this blog out… RohJuh.com. They have a couple great posts on their San Juan Hut Trip. Also, check out their gallery for lots of great pics.
I’m not sure how they found out about RohJuh.com, but somehow [...]
North Face Duffels
We decided that we needed some travel bags for our Nepal trip. Although I’m very fond of roller bags (why hand-lug something around or load your back if you can just roll it?), that type of bag probably won’t work very well in places like Nepal. They might work OK for getting our stuff there, [...]
Latte Dog Album
Latte Dog now has her own album. It’s basically a collection of all the random pictures we’ve taken of Latte. All previous albums of Latte have now been moved to this new album.
34 Years and All’s Well
Well, today I officially departed my early-30s and entered my mid-30s. Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday. It was a fairly low-key and uneventful day as my birthdays have generally become, but that’s fine by me since I’m not much of a spotlight kind of guy. Plus, for nearly all of my [...]
The Making of V4
Version 4 of RohJuh.com ended up being a much more time-consuming endeavor than I ever imagined. With development work progressing at a fairly consistent pace over nearly 9 months, what began as a medium-scale project soon mushroomed into quite a large undertaking, and I ended up spending about quadruple the amount of time and effort [...]
Backpacking the High Sierra Route
Brian and I backpacked part of the High Sierra Route on September 27-30, 2005. This was one of the remaining portions that he had not done. We hiked approximately 30-36 miles, which included some cross-country sections. To see pics, click here.
Brian and I met in Mammoth in the evening of September 26, [...]
Speed Boost
As of tonight, you should notice a fairly significant speed boost while browsing pictures. Since the introduction of RohJuh.com V4, all scaled pics (the thumbnails as well as the 640X480 resized pics) have been scaled at 100% image quality. This resulted in fairly large image sizes (from a file size standpoint).
After some experimentation, I found [...]
V4
Just when you thought the web was safe, RohJuh.com V4 is unleashed! Radically overhauled from the inside out, RohJuh.com is bigger, badder, and better than ever. Aside from the whopping 10 GB of time-wasting content, what’s new with V4? Well, there’s:
A totally new and original look. Ain’t it purrrty?
A complete overhaul of the back-end (again), [...]
Backpacking High Sierra Camps
Patty and I went on a backpacking trip in Tuolumne the week prior to Labor Day. We were planning on doing the High Sierra Camp loop (approximately 45 miles) over 3-4 days. This area of Yosemite requires the use of bear canisters. However, if we agreed to stay at the designated campgrounds [...]
