Failed Emissions I haven't driven the bus much ever since I brought it back from San Diego. This is mostly due to the fact that it has Oregon plates (BUS BOY) and they expired last July. Today, I made an attempt to get Colorado plates. Unfortunately, the ol' bus ("Dadda's Bach" is what Abbie calls it) failed the emissions test. I've got 10 days to get it fixed if I want to avoid paying $15 for another test. I'm considering just letting it sit in the driveway until I start restoring it (sometime this fall). VWs are typically summer rigs because their heaters suck in the Winter. Driving around Denver in 100 degrees today makes me question the logic of driving it in the summer. Maybe I can retro-fit a modern-day air conditioner in into it.

Update: I called up the the local bug shop and they told me to come on down. They fixed 'er right up and I passed. It cost me a mere 12-pack - my kinda joint. Posted in General at Jul 13 2004, 01:21:37 PM MDT 3 Comments

[ANN] Maven 1.0 Released! Can you believe it?! Maven 1.0 is (finally) released: Download or read the Release Notes. Normally, I probably wouldn't care so much, but I've been engrossed in Maven for the past couple of weeks. My favorite features are the ability to type "maven eclipse" or "maven idea" to generate Eclipse/IDEA project files. Wow - 4 announcement posts in a row - that's a personal record! :-) Posted in Java at Jul 13 2004, 08:39:39 AM MDT 1 Comment
