I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Locale: Jonesboro, Georgia My journey's this week took me to Jonesboro, Georgia. The customer was Clayton County, where I delivered a class on portable radio maintenance. I know most of you see the police officers with their radios on their belts, but I doubt many of you realize how much technology is involved in them. The portable radios themselves are not too difficult, once you understand them. But if I were to program them from scratch, there are over 4,000 fields I could edit in getting that done. If you stop to think that they are just a small piece in the overall pie (so to speak), you might start to realize how large these large systems can be. I didn't do much this week to be honest. Jonesboro is only 10 miles south of Atlanta, and I did not want to venture there in the afternoon rush hour. So I remained south, and relaxed all I could. Nice area, great people, but I was saving myself for next week, when I'll be in the Puget Sound area. It's summer out. Storms are blowing everywhere, water is high due to flooding, so be careful. I don't want to lose any of you due to errors in where you're at. Til next time.... |
