Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long (but only if it's warm and traffic is moving)
Long, cold ride into work today. I-95 was backed up in both directions including HOV because there was an accident on the south-bound side. Three cars plus a trailer plus a semi tractor-trailer were involved. There was at least one firetruck there, 5 tow trucks, half a dozen police vehicles, and half a dozen VDOT vehicles there trying to sort it ( Read more... ) -
Side 7 Jobs
So, I'm looking to open up positions of authority and access on Side 7. I absolutely need an experienced, capable Perl programmer, and I need a social networks manager. The Perl programmer would be taking over a significant portion of the development process for Side 7's codebase (there are some very significant changes planned, I'm just having ( Read more... ) -
Time
The shower is an awesome place for deep thinking. It's often where I do some of my best thinking, and come up with some of my best ideas and brainstorms ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to the family
Born 25 January, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Michael Colin Lamey arrived, weighing in at 6lbs 14.6oz, 19.25" inches long. I'll have to post the full story, but needless to say, the birth was something out of a movie. Screeching to a halt in the front driveway of the hospital, leaving the car there while racing up to the L&D room, child being born 5 minutes ( Read more... ) -
Work, work, work
Things are heating up at work. Just put in an extra 24.75 hours in over my normal 40. The money is nice, but I haven't scored more than 3.5-4 hours of sleep a night since Thursday. This week will likely be similar, *and* my new Life Drawing class starts tonight ( Read more... ) -
Long ride in ended with a laugh
So, today's ride in was ridiculous. I395 was at a dead stand-still. I95 wasn't any better. I tried to take a back-way into work, and it was almost as bad. I guess everyone else had the same idea. My back is sore as a result. Blech ( Read more... ) -
Side 7 Launches v4.1
It's here! It's here!
Side 7 v4.1 has finally launched. This was a tonne of work, truth be told. Most of it, you probably won't even notice as the majority of the work had to do with rebuilding some of the back-end of the site. What that means, though, is better optimization of the back end code, database, and database queries to improve site ( Read more... ) -
Side 7 v4.1
Yeah, so we're later than we had hoped with v4.1. No, it has not, yet, launched. However, we're very close to done ( Read more... ) -
Zen and the Art of Coding
So, I've been mixing up my standard approach to coding projects, and am now looking into refining interfaces as a major part of any coding project. The old-styled, blocky, everything-in-a-box UI is old, out-moded, and clunky. I'm trying to improve the usability and streamline the UI. I have several major coding projects coming up, and honestly, ( Read more... )
