The Drunken Sailor

I think I have finally made a breakthrough tonight! Not cured, but possibly “better”. Normally when I get an email that I want to respond to right away, and that needs attention and deep though (but non work stuff) I tend to do the knee-jerk of sending a reply right away, usually prefixed with something […]

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Why is it that some people use products like Microsoft Office to write web pages? Oh sure, it’s easy, but does it display worth crap in any other browser? Course not! Who cares if your vital information is unreadable to 10% of the Internet? Just got back from the gym, munching down my protein bar.

An Agreeable Arrangement

My cat and I have come to an amicable agreement regarding the office chairs. He gets mine, I get the wierd yuppy kneeling chair thing, and I pet him, in my chair, while I work. Sounds fair doesn’t it. <pause to pet cat> I converted my root partition to RAID0 (striping for speed) today. First

Day 1 Report

Was good. Not too brutal on the getting up in the morning thing, as 7:00am is when I get up to go to the gym. It was relatively easy to get up and get myself awake and alive in the morning, even with making a lunch (well, throwing some leftovers in foil and into a

Day 0.25

Yesterday I went into the place that I’ll be for a while to do a meet and greet with the main programmer there, J. He’s a decent guy with wild hair that makes me think a haircut was completely un-needed. I got a good feel for what the project will entail and how it is
