Offline Soon

This site will be going offline sometime wednesday or thursday as either Shaw cuts my connection to move it to the new place or I move all my computers. Should be back up in a couple of days max though, and the DNS should be less of a PITA this time. Just an FYI.

Employed!

Got an offer which, while the way they do money is less straightforward than previous, still works out well I think. I haven’t officially accepted yet, but I will be. In fact, I’m going to be going to a meeting there in a couple of hours as it’ll be pertenant to my new job, even

Grinding Fun

One of the things that is on the list of stuff to fix at the house was correcting the big bump in the floor. This involved FireflyBro bashing out supporting beams, hoping the house didn’t fall down, cutting or shaving as needed, and putting the beams back in. Got a couple of good shots of

Even More Good News

Getting together for lunch with the folks from the company I applied with on Monday for them to present me with an offer. Whohooo! Unless their offer is somehow horrible (which I doubt), I see no reason not to accept. Just hope nothing falls through at the end. The only thing is that I’ll probably

Good Project Management Books?

My (possible) new job will involve some or lots of project management, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good books on project management or the tools like MS Project.

Who is Your Superhero?

Darren asks who is our superhero? Howard Stern? The number of hot girls he gets to undress for him and the dirt that he can convince people to tell him (and his millions of listeners) makes me wonder if he has super powers of some sort…. That guy from Unbreakable? He was a pretty cool

In Which I am Unemployed

In addition to my other lovely news, as most people know who read this, I’m unemployed. At the beginning of the month on my way out to lunch at work I was pulled aside and told that I was laid off. My job description suddenly changed underneath me. I was…. “surprised” to say the least,
