Old Sushi for Lunch
It appears that leftover sushi, left in the fridge over night, does not turn rancid. If this initial assumption is not correct, I will be sorry, I’m sure.

Refactoring
The last couple of days at work were quite frustrating. Release time is getting close and things are slooooow….. The archived data was finally imported today, and an increase in records in the details table went from about 11,000 (max) to 227,000 slowed things down, and our main edit/view/do everything page keeps getting more complex,
How to Protect Yourself From Windows Threats
Figured I’d throw something up on how to protect yourself from the threats associated with running Microsoft Windows, based on some conversation yesterday. Tim was concerned about Word and Excel macro viruii and the plethora of outlook email vulnerabilities. Keep everything up to date. Since Windows is designed in such a way that it is

Things That Make Me Go Hmm….
Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? I assume that part of it has to do with keeping stuff out of them when our brain is turned off and we can’t react to keep things (dust, cats) from falling into them. Can you actually sleep with your eyes open? It’s just as dark

Sleeping With Invertebrates
Hooked up with a guy I knew long ago in the FVLUG to see if we could strike up some sort of a deal. He needs a linux guy to watch over his shoulder, do some monitoring on his server, etc. Anyway went over to his place and discovered he’s got a very cool job.

Stupid, Stupid VB
Once again a couple of days ago I was turned into a Visual Basic whore. This time it was “real” VB, not VBScript. I thought it’d be better, a more Bill-like religious experience. Boy was I wrong. Short story, man, it sucks. I’m not talking about the language itself, but the interface you are forced

Clueful Salespeople
There were two things I had to go into town for this weekend. One was looking for tires (mine are bald) and a printer, as mine is not in the best shape, and at work there is a really nice one that is cheap and has individual refills for the colors (so if you run

Reunion Meeting and Weekend Wrapup
On Sunday me and Firefly went to meet up with some people from high school to do some reunion planning. As I mentioned, I was a bit nervous. No need it seems. We headed out around 1:30 and laughed our asses off to some Billy Connolly stand up comedy. As usual, I mis-interpreted where we
