CodePaLousa 2012 Review Part 1
This last weekend, I attended CodePaLousa. At the end of it, it seemed IMPERATIVE that I write down some kind of a post so I could straighten all the information flashing through my head. Today, 3 days after.. it doesn't seem as important. Yet.. i'm sure it was important.. so I'll try.

Health Reboot
I started this post while in Evansville for Q's soccer stuff.. and then, the whole family fell sick. As I write this, I've just had my first big meal since the illness, and wow, I'm bloated. Maybe not the best time to think about this... but hey, why not. Maybe I'll be realistic rather than optimistic.

Xplane 10
I have really been enjoying flying around in xplane 10.
Last night I flew from Des Moines to Louisville in a personal jet at 5000 ft using mostly VOR. At night. Beautiful lights. Landing was amazing. Although in reality, probably fatal.
Eh that's easy to correct... Just being impatient with the landings, not bleeding enough speed.

Working Hard
I'm sitting at Panera waiting for a friend to show, reflecting on the last few weeks of work.
It feels like some of the hardest work I have done in a long time.
Yet, having achieved a milestone, it's also some of the most fulfilling work I have done in a long time.

Brain (& Life) Reboot
I am in the middle of my brain reboot. It goes something like this:
a) stay up really really late watching movies while my brain slows down and stops
b) sleep
c) wake up
d) start life over.
I've been running with my head down lately .. trying to keep a handle on work stuff, handling my part of a bunch of things at home. Haven't really popped my ( Read more... ) -
Sunday Night Routine
I really enjoy my Sunday evening routine. It starts off with me leaving the house at about 645 and heading out towards the Beuchel area. There I stop at a Marathon gas station which usually has good prices and I also get a 16 ounce cup of decaf coffee. Then I head over about 3 blocks to the 730 Al-Anon meeting.
I don't know what it is but I really ( Read more... ) -
Mudding, Dwarf Fortress, and more
It might be time to ressurect the slumbering beast within.
My self directed project at work is going well, almost done. For my next project.. Im thinking about revisiting my passion from the mid 1990's.
LPMud meets C#.
There are others who have done this, but not quite what I was thinking. I specifically want to go for the in-game clone, edit, ( Read more... ) -
Up Next in Running
Ok, now that I've proved to myself that one half marathon was not a fluke, and that i could survive a second half marathon without extensively training for it (albeit, my quads will tell you: Its better If you Train. Hurts less) .. i get to decide what I'm going to do next ( Read more... )
