I finally got around to adding a picture of me to this blog, thanks to some prodding (you know who you are!). After doing so I realized that this theme is getting a little bit crowded and dated. I hate to add to my to-do list but I'm now in search of...
No, no, no - it is alive and well. I don't have much to say today after the spanking the Cleveland Clowns put on my beloved Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. It's also much too early in the fantasy football season to begin talking smack. And the normal late...
This post is as much for my sanity, to clear my mind, as it is for sharing my thoughts. I have a couple of after hours projects going on right now and a couple that I would like to start. I have been working on a few things for the Community Server Theming...
Last week was PTO for me. No trips planned, just a little time off to relax, maybe get a few things done around the house. At least that was the plan. The reality is that I worked my butt off every day from Saturday morning the previous weekend to Sunday...
I decided yesterday that I needed to add a new hard drive to my workstation. On all past computers I would keep a large C: drive for system, program files, etc. and keep a very large D: drive for data (pst files, code, databases, desktop & "my documents...
I found this picture a couple of days ago while looking through an old computer for files I needed to copy off of it before repaving and repurposing. This is one of the very few pictures I have of myself from my Army days. This was taken sometime during...
Like most holidays, Memorial Day is a day for me to cook some man-food. This almost always involves the grill and my smoker. I've been making some good baby back ribs for a couple of years thanks to my buddy Andy and his web site Andy's Ribs . Ouch, I...
First I must apologize to friends and family who I usually keep some type of regular contact with, I have been slammed lately. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel, though. By the end of next week I think my life will return to its normal chaotic...
It's been a few days since I made a post. Really busy around here and rather than post half a dozen little posts, I'll just group everything in one big one. C & J - Thoughts and Prayers First, and most importantly, I just found out that the wife of...
I mentioned before that I would be coaching my daughter's spring soccer team . I didn't really go into this spring planning on coaching, but they needed another coach and I thought I might be useful. I was a bit nervous about it though, as I've never...
I got assigned a new side project over the weekend: building a new website for my wife, Desserts by Dawn . She's been making cakes and cupcakes for friends and family for a while now. Over the last year or so we've been entertaining the thought of opening...
I did one of those seedy middle-of-the-night moves with this site recently. Like Dave Burke, I switched to a Virtual Private Server and I agree - there is no going back to shared hosting now! Hopefully you did not notice any interruption in service. Since...
I am no Mike Gunderloy , but ... In addition to my nearly daily writing for this blog(1), I have also done some writing and technical reviewing for a couple of publishers over the last year. Though I'm not ready to commit to anything yet until I get some...
With this morning's news reporting yesterday's destruction in Enterprise, Alabama the rest of us are left praying for those dead and injured and their families. A guy I was stationed with in Ansbach, Germany, Jason Chadwick, was from Enterprise. I haven...
I came home from the anniversary dinner to find that Jose had tagged me . I'm not a big meme fan, but this one is interesting. I have enjoyed reading other people's admissions to this point, so I don't mind sharing a few myself. 1. When I was younger...
