I'm enjoying learning .NET, and had a really productive week last week, everything starting to come together on my piece of the puzzle. Will be interesting to see how things develop over time, but definitely liking the development environment in general. Hopefully I continue to like it as we build this website, because I'm going to have to be ( Read more... )

Just finished reading a series of books by Maria Snyder last night, first is Poison Study. I'm not sure why I enjoyed them so thoroughly, they were mostly popcorn books... but they really hit the spot. So that was kinda nice. Actually, after reading them I'm finding the urge to write again. Someone poke me this year for NaNoWriMo, this project ( Read more... )

I'll miss you, Aunt Jan.

So over the weekend, we picked up a new toy, sorta. After thinking about it for a while and talking about it, we grabbed a Roomba. Jes has always been interested in robotics, so we were kinda leaning that way from the beginning. Throwing in that living in a basement appartment with all-linoleum flooring means that it's very hard to keep it clean ( Read more... )

I run a dual-monitor set-up at home. One of my monitors crapped out several weeks back, so my wife got me an early birthday present that she gave to me last night, a shiny new 22" wide-screen monitor. *drooools* thx hon ( Read more... )

So I'm working on a project to convert an Access app that's been developed in-house into an enterprise webpage. We're using .NET for the development, which I'm not horribly familiar with yet, but I guess that'll be something to pick up as we go. Shouldn't be too hard ( Read more... )

It's funny how often I start to think about posting something, and as I'm putting together the post I start thinking about how it sounds and end up deciding not to say it ( Read more... )

Did a few arenas over the weekend. Got into a 5s team with a few guildies, did some battles with them... was pretty fun. 3s kinda sucked, not really sure why. Just unlucky I guess ( Read more... )

Rained fairly steadily for a few days. Power went out Sunday evening... my computer was not too pleased when it woke up Monday. Managed to get it sorted out, but was still a little frustrating. In any case... the road in to work was flooded ( Read more... )

Horrible heavy rains here today and yesterday. Last night power went out as I was winding down for sleep. This morning I get up and my computer is... unhappy. Rather nervous about it, but will see what comes of it when I have some more time to screw with it tonight. Surge protector was there and still says it's happy, so hopefully everything ( Read more... )
