Well, and my name. On CareerBuilder.com yesterday ( Read more... )

I've uploaded more photos: Boston July 4th fireworks, Pawtucket Red Sox game, marching stormtroopers, and Larissa and Jon's wedding. There are also a few additional Dragon*Con photosI also went through and downgraded the quality of the photos on the server slightly, so they're now about a third of the size, and freed up 40 MB. You can't notice ( Read more... )

Today is my last day of work. My extended summer internship at The Big Computer Company that turned into a fifteen month part-time job has finally ended. For various reasons (none of them good...), the thesis I was hoping to get out of working there never happened, so as of next week, my status will return to that of Poor Student. Well, poor ( Read more... )

I am utterly baffled. I love technology, and computers. I'm a quick learner, and a geek. But for some reason, for the life of me I cannot figure out RSS. I just don't get it. I feel like a moron, because it's just too complicated for me. I've read about it, and the concept is simple enough. No problem. And I love my LJ friend's page, which ( Read more... )

For those of you that aren't aware of how I earn my paycheck, I work at a large IT company on the internal web design standards team.

Oh, it's going to be a fun day today. The internal web is still screwed up, though it is doing better now than it was this morning. My password had expired, but I couldn't get to the password reset in order to fix it, and I also had to reschedule a user interview because I couldn't get to the survey questions. You'd think the world's largest IT ( Read more... )

I'm off the hook for my business trip to CT/NY next week! I found it amusing that my boss was actually concerned that I'd be heart broken about not attending ( Read more... )

3 out of 4 of my scheduled usability testing participants canceled on me. The fourth is completed, so my once full day is suddenly not so busy anymore, and I don't have to talk to anyone else for the rest of the day! That survey I have to analyze should feel so special, since it now gets to completely monopolize my time for the rest of the

Those of you who get the Star Wars Homing Beacon newsletter have probably seen this already, but StarWars.com has an interview with the Mythbusters! I love that show, and I knew several of them had worked for ILM in the past, but I didn't know any details. I found it a very entertaining and enlightening read, and thought I'd pass the link along ( Read more... )

Wait. Reverse that. Yeah, that's more like it.

So I figured it was about time for another REAL post. Just in case anyone should care, that is. I'm sure no one does, but oh well. It will make me feel better at least ( Read more... )
