sleepinbeauty was the only reason I kept up with LJ. Boo, L. But I understand.
Crazy to close the book after... 14 years? More?

Hello
So I train baseball players full-time now. Prior to that I was a Data Scientist making a lot of money and eventually rage quit the software development industry entirely, because I was trying to ignore the very thing I knew about myself when I was 17 years old - that I don't like computers ( Read more... ) -
Hmm
Seems like my blog posts on kyleboddy.com are not being sent over here. No matter, I hardly update there either.

Springloops is awesome, HeidiSQL is annoying, Site5 disappoints
Originally published at Kyle Boddy. You can comment here or there.
I've started to use Springloops RC2 for my version control efforts, which is really awesome.
