A Dogcaught Thanks

by Aaron Hockley on November 24, 2005

I’m thankful I live in one of the busiest railroad areas around this part of the country. I’m thankful I work less than a mile from the tracks. I’m thankful I have the abilities and means to frequently watch trains and take photographs.

And I’m thankful that somebody out there reads the words and looks at the pictures.

Service Fees for Charity Events

by Aaron Hockley on November 23, 2005

Having a charity event to raise money for a rail-related cause? Trying to figure out how to annoy potential customers? Just setup your ticketing so would-be ticket buyers pay a 20% service fee when buying tickets to your event! I’m trying to find a way to buy tickets for the ORHF’s Santa Train without getting bent over… right now it looks like my only option is to drive over to southeast Portland to OMSI to buy the tickets in person (which really isn’t an option).

New automated link posting

by Aaron Hockley on November 22, 2005

I’ve configured a new service which will automatically post my bookmarks I’ve saved on del.icio.us to this blog. This will be an easy way to automatically share new railroad or photo-related links here without having to manually post each one, plus it will consolidate several links for one day into one post. The only downside is an occasional off-topic link might show up (one I’ve posted, but not related to railroads or photography) but I’ll clean that up as soon as I can.

Brought to you by the “random things to occupy more time on the intarweb” department :)
