Meeting Bell X1!
Yesterday we got to attend a long-anticipated show: seeing Bell X1 at the Larimer Lounge in Denver. We wanted to arrive in plenty of time so we could scope out the venue and get as close to the stage as possible. Turns out, this wasn’t going to be a problem: the Larimer Lounge is a very intimate (i.e. tiny) venue. When we arrived, the place was ( Read more... ) -
Stress and Adjustments…
Today was a long day at the office. A crop of bugs popped up, and I was basically the only person on our team in Westminster today. That meant it was up to me to triage the bugs and determine the best possible course of action. I tend to do this best when I have a pair to program with… someone to bounce ideas off of and determine the best course ( Read more... ) -
Weekend Wrap-Up
It has been an eventful weekend at the Dalcher household. On Saturday, I picked up La Mar’s Donuts for breakfast after stopping at Home Depot to get some guitar-building supplies. I spent most of the afternoon in the garage, sanding away at some leftover cocobolo binding to make enough sawdust to create a wood filler. I successfully used this ( Read more... ) -

Tonight’s practice was brought to you thanks to Sensei Hartman, whose Facebook post this week inspired me to get off my butt and get to the dojo despite a long and stressful week at the office.
We started things out with a few simple basics to get warmed up (always nice), and then descended into one of the longest combinations I have experienced in ( Read more... ) -
The Green Fairy
Today I got a package in the mail: my bottle of Absinthe Ordinaire! Before enjoying a glass, Teddy and I went for a rousing walk around the neighborhood. Then it was time to help out with Eve and watch some Firefly.
That’s all for now!

Today my Dungeons & Dragons blog, Stupid Ranger, got hacked with some SEO Malware that injected some PHP to make each of our page titles advertise for prescription drugs. I spent the evening restoring our WordPress installation, revising templates, and restoring our database. I ultimately had to reinstall everything and then point WordPress back ( Read more... ) -
O Gracious Weekend…
It was an interesting day at the office… when I arrived I quickly noticed my schedule was perforated with meetings, and what I really wanted to do was code. I took as much advantage of the short breaks between meetings to work with my pair to program and solve some problems. I got to have a very good meeting where I got to assert one of our ( Read more... ) -
Time dissolves away…
Without noticing, I’ve missed a few days of blogging (the shame!)… I guess life has been pretty busy lately. With PW out of the office, I have found myself staying at work longer to help keep things running along as smoothly as possible. Over the weekend we got a few nice days, so I spent a lot of time outside getting chores done and preparing ( Read more... )
