Goodbye, Steve

Pandora’s Onion

I’m just staking my claim to coining the phrase Pandora’s Onion. We were discussing what a cluster work has been lately and how I’m being pushed to give an “estimate for an estimate for a project”. I was being pressed for it in the next day or so… initially for the overall estimate of a [...]

New Project for cash and prizes

A friend of mine got me into the SecureTheWeb 2006 contest after the entry deadline. Now I just have to come up with some amazing unique killer thing to do with a .Net programmable Smart Card.

Going to Boston

Looks like work is going to be sending me to the Mono Developer’s Conference in Boston on Oct 23rd and 24th. I’m really looking forward to my first out of state dev conference. Should be fun. My brother-in-law may take the train down from New York to hang out. Stacia may even come along if [...]

Hrmm

If you google image “i hate life” you get some mildly disturbing images. I should try it with safe search off.

Annoying Blog Spam

I grabbed www.mono-cast.com a few months back when I was sure I was going to do a Mono podcast. I’m still pretty sure I will. It’s just… when. Anywho. I did what a lot of geeks do and setup the under pinnings of my project and let it sit. I got the site all setup [...]

MacBooks make you cool

Well, not really. But I joked that buying my MacBook would make me a hip Mac user just like in the ads. It was a joke. Funny thing is, things have been going right since I bought it. Work decided to pay for me to fly to Boston in October for the Mono Developers Conference [...]

Where have I been?

Well, I was on vacation for 3 weeks and then playing catch up for another week. Finally I return. The first week we had to take the little one to the doctor for his yearly check up. When I stepped out of the elevator I glanced at the placard that listed the businesses on the [...]

NProject – New Project Management Site

While I’m supposed to be on vacation I can’t help but be a geek. I was browsing Monologue and Miguel mentioned coming across NProject. A quick overview and it looks pretty cool. I already use CruiseControl.net at work and like the idea of the total package. Though, usually I’m against this sort of thing – [...]

RDP to the console in Win2k3

Many folks like to insist that microsoft never really updates the kernel. They just reskin their OS. Well, I say that’s not true. Every release they raise that bar on annoying little things I have to deal with. I remote to work on Wednesday’s and normally tuesday night I just lock the desktop and leave [...]

On a brighter note…

Stacia and I managed to get out by ourselves last night. We stopped into Aoki to grab some sushi before we headed down to Seattle Wireless Hack Night. We sat at the bar infront of the chef’s and after sitting there for a while chatting I noticed the barista from our favorite local coffee shop [...]
