So I missed a month. Or possibly two months, depending on how substantive you consider my May entry to be. I don't know why I should be concerned, as I don't imagine I have a large and loyal readership or anything, but nevertheless I will try to make up for lost time.

I think the most important thing I've learned in the last month and a half is ( Read more... )

I find it very upsetting when a urinal denies my existence. Other than that, things are fine.

Boy, how lame is that. Accountants are supposed to like planning, not wild and crazy software developers. :) Be that as it may, much of my life this month has been about getting plans in motion, and not just waiting for things to work out, which leaves one feeling like something has been accomplished, which in turn leaves one feeling nice.

So the SWAT team members are just getting back to our regular jobs again. It was a fun month, but it feels good to be fixing holes in my own code instead of finding holes in others'. Having said that, work life is cool, I should be off probation soon, and we think we've found a way to take apart the walls on our offices. I'm thinking of adding ( Read more... )

This is not a regular journal entry. In those I have been unforgivably delinquent as of late, but I'm sure one will come down the proverbial pipe soon. This one thought couldn't wait for my next journal entry, for reasons that should be fairly obvious (sent to me from a friend at work):

As the clock ticks over from 8:01pm on Wednesday, February ( Read more... )

I am now a member of a SWAT team.

Up until yesterday, I was working on my regular project at IBM, and it was coming along quite nicely thankyouverymuch, but now I am on a swat team. Some elaboration is no doubt in order. See, my department, as I have mentioned previously, is really sort of the advanced prototyping wing. When e-business people ( Read more... )

Okay, so I missed all of november, mea culpa. Still, I'm *roughly* a month from my last entry, so here goes.

Poker. Amy's sister Barb is convinced that I am a gambling addict. She's mostly kidding, and she laughs when she says it so that you'll know she's kidding, but I think if I phoned her from some atlantic city gutter, missing teeth and ( Read more... )

Goodness me, if I expect to keep up an entry a month it's now or never for October. That's fine though, there is probably a month's worth of stuff to update.

Work continues on apace, but with some twists this month. Thing the first is that we have an actually functional product, which I must say is a surprise. I love the feeling of working on ( Read more... )

So, I've moved my advogato diaries here. LJ has much better diary management options, and I'm a sucker for customisability. I'm also a sucker for being able to check up on my friend's diaries at a glance, and here I can do that too.

Coming so soon on the heels of my last entry at advogato (all of which I have manually moved over now) I'm afraid I ( Read more... )

Since my last entry the world has changed far more ( Read more... )
