Community Involvement

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on August 14, 2017 by BobAugust 14, 2017  

Someone on Facebook made a comment implying that, instead of always complaining about local community issues, I should get off my rear end and start doing something about them. Well, this is just to give a hint of my involvement in trying to solve local community issues.

U-Turns on Alum Rock

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on April 8, 2017 by BobApril 8, 2017  

The community living, working and commuting along Alum Rock Avenue has been dealing with construction issues related to the new Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) system for over three years.   Recently they discovered that the street modifications came with some unexpected changes. The bottom line is that many are upset that left turns and U-turns, which they have depended on for decades are no longer an option, hindering their access to homes and businesses. Left Turns and U-Turns between US 101 … Continue reading →

Viva Calle SJ & VTA — Almost, but no cigar

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on September 20, 2016 by BobSeptember 20, 2016

HTTrack

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on March 31, 2016 by BobMarch 31, 2016  

HTTrack is a free (GPL) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. Basically, it allows you to download the contents of a internet site to a local directory. It builds a complete set of recursively directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server and stashing them on your computer.  These are static, HTML images of the original site, even if it was built using some database centered, dynamic page tool. I find it great for archiving copies of my sites … Continue reading →
