Still Here
I think it's been ages since I've done a public post. I'm really busy. At work, I'm putting together a product called Apricot. It's an online information manager targeted at small non-profits. Really, the product is very general. It's basically a very gui web-based database. It's a big challenge and it's on a short deadline. $COMPANY really ( Read more... ) -
Yet another Job Thing
$COMPANY is hiring for a JavaScript developer. Many of you dear readers are Austinites who develop, and many of you who aren't Austinites are good enough that I'd be willing to hire you remotely. This developer would work on a contract for a hundred or so flexible hours over a three month period ( Read more... ) -
Reading Resumes
So $COMPANY is hiring. If you're a junior PHP/MySQL developer who wants to wade through legacy code like a loinclothed man in a Frazetta painting, this is your chance. I'm looking through resumes, and one is someone whose skills include "mathematical modeling ability ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
300 has hit the theaters with a storm. I find the movie thrilling and fun, if morally reprehensible. It's really gorgeous, and some of the choreography is terrific. Frank Miller's dialogue makes comic book morality really pop.
So the word is that there's going to be a sequel. As the movie is about a lot of people who die, there's no continuing ( Read more... ) -
Review: Temerairiad
I've finished up the three books in the series of His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade and The Black Powder Wars. They're not a trilogy as the fourth book is coming out and apparently starts minutes after the third ends. The books take place in an alternate history where there's different breeds of dragons (much like the different breeds of dogs ( Read more... ) -
Linux Display Trouble
Update: It's fixed! I changed the cables that connected the monitors, and that worked.I'm posting this to Linux Forums, but I haven't had a response, and if I don't fix it soon, I'm going to have to install XP over this Linux install. I've installed Linux on a computer. When I do stuff, any stuff, the screens sometimes wink out. Typing doesn't ( Read more... ) -
Three Great Things about Fedora Core 6
I've been meaning to do a review of the things I really like about Fedora Core 6. This will be pretty confusing to people who don't use Unix.

Website
I did a bunch of work on Hostile Fruit, my personal website*. It has a PostNuke theme of my very own creation called "ScrapBook". If you want to run a PostNuke site, you can borrow my theme if you like. It's got a short story of mine on it called "Discouraging Words". To read it, you need to register with the site, but registration is free and ( Read more... ) -
Hail to the Kingston
I just wanted to put a good word in for Kingston Technology. They make RAM, and I'm using it in most of my computers. Some of it went bad. I was ready to buy more memory. I didn't have the receipt after two years, and most warranties in the computer industry are so much paper ( Read more... )
