This might seem a little odd, but I have a habit of reading the code of web pages. It might seem less odd when you realize I still do a bit of WebDev now and then, and it can be a useful way of figuring out the tricks people use to accomplish different things. Sometimes, [...]
It’s funny. On the surface, most people would think I’m a phone nut. I’m on it a lot, and I tend to have phones right near the edge of the envelope, technology-wise. Right now, I have both an iPhone (personal) and a BlackBerry (business – paid for by my company). I have them set up [...]
Following up on yesterday’s post… For those of you contemplating upgrading to Win7, or making any major OS upgrade (be it Mac, Linux, Unix, Solaris, whatev…), here’s some advice i posted on a forum, I thought I’d repost it here, on the off chance somebody reads it.
No, really. I woke up with a head cold to beat all. Tried to get some work done from home this morning but then just crawled back into bed. I probably shouldn’t have tried to get some work done because I suspect I fat fingered some imaging in a vain attempt to be productive, and [...]
Subtitle: New Stress, but Good Stress Well, just started my new job yesterday, and man, talk about jumping on a learning curve. Surprisingly, this doesn’t bother me too much. I’m playing with some pretty hardcore gear, and isn’t that what it’s all about? Let’s put it this way: If you’re a pilot, you probably want [...]

Subtitle: Or maybe everyone else is just lazier. So, I’m almost 2 months into the new job, and like any FNG, I worry about whether I pull my weight. Especially at a job where I find myself spending an inordinate amount of time surfing the net, working on my blog, finding excuses to take long [...]
Subtitle: Great new job, and I hate it already. This could almost be considered a post from the files of someone who’s never satisfied. Or at least from the files of someone who pretty obviously doesn’t know what he wants from life. Almost 3 months ago, I finally pulled the pin at my job with [...]
Subtitle: The vacation didn’t accomplish what I wanted. I have a love/hate relationship with my job. A very big part of me derives a great deal of satisfaction working in an altruistic field. Day in and day out, I work to improve the lives of the homeless in my city, ease their burdens, and on [...]
Subtitle: Why, oh why, oh why… So, today was the big marathon stupervisor meeting. I went in, all bright eyed and bushy tailed after already working a little over twelve hours straight. And if you believe I was bright eyed and bushy tailed after working twelve hours supervising a 125 man capacity shelter, then I [...]
