So, I started using a planner yesterday, yes one of those black leather zipper man-purse things. The past year or so at work I’ve gotten really forgetful and find myself apologizing for not getting things done for people yet. This is mostly due to having 45 things to remember at all times.

ARRLWeb: It’s Official! Morse Code Requirement Ends Friday, February 23
NEWINGTON, CT, Jan 24, 2007 — Circle Friday, February 23, on your calendar. That’s when the current 5 WPM Morse code requirement will officially disappear from the Amateur Radio Service Part 97 rules in accordance with the FCC’s Report and Order (R&O) in the “Morse code proceeding,” WT Docket 05-235. Beginning at 12:00 AM local time on February 23 (ie, after midnight Thursday), applicants for a General or Amateur Extra class Amateur Radio license no longer will have to demonstrate proficiency in Morse code. They’ll just have to pass the applicable written examination.

World of Warcraft — Burning Crusade came out today… I didn’t buy it. My account cancels on Jan 29th. I’ve pretty much stopped playing all together, it’s nice not being so stressed out all the time to make raids along with real life deadlines.
