Back in CSH here, waiting for my parents to show up so we can go get some food. I went to a presentation by the person who invented Spanning Tree over in the IT department before. Her presentation was on Security, Encryption, the PKI, etc... Nothing new, but it was a cool presentation.

Saw jerronimo and everyone other than Pat over at CIS, and I have ( Read more... )

I finally have a beat to give an update... So, James is arriving today... He is visiting for the Moby concert, and his visit comes at a time where I could use a bit of relaxation.

Jerry has taken over leadership on the project I was working on for work. While on one hand I feel like I have failed, I now feel like my life has suddenly gotten ( Read more... )

I got my Stevie Ray Vaughan CD's today, and they are great... I also got my absentee ballot for the upcoming presidental election... I am really split on this one though... Not voting for Bush, but I don't know if I want to vote for Gore.... Or do I want to vote for a 3rd party? Sigh ( Read more... )

I am really tired, and I am behind at work, but fortunately Jerry has been kind enough to offer to help me out now that he is caught up. It is always hard to balance work and school, and when both are as demanding as they currently are, all the help I can get is welcome....

I have that dumbass Astronomy class this afternoon.. We have spent weeks ( Read more... )

Been a super-busy weekend... I am starting to look forward to the time after Halloween... As you readers are probably aware of, we have a big demo around Halloween at work, and all the scrambling I have been doing recently has been to prepare for that. I am probably going to avoid work a bit after that demo.... I wouldn't quite say I am ( Read more... )

I hate going to bed with bugs in my code. It has always bothered me so much. So I give up on debugging this off-by-one bug just before my last update, resolved myself to go to bed, brushed my teeth, turned out the lights, got in bed, and sat there for 5 minutes fuming that I had that bug ( Read more... )

....or Morning.... I was in a pretty decent code groove tonight. When I surfaced from it it was 6am and I had reasonable functionality. There were distractions along the way, but they never managed to fully derail me.

I did start watching Strange Brew in the background, but it was sucking away too much of my attention so I had to stop it. :)

Woke up at 9am for our Friday Morning Meeting at work, and went to my stupid Astronomy class. :)

I am feeling a bit more comfortable with my timelines at work now that I know I don't really have to deal with any CORBA stuff thanks to an intermediary layer...

I was supposed to go to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome this weekend with my Dad and my Uncle, ( Read more... )

tension: Pending phone interview with a certain Silicon Valley company on Wednesday. I really hope it goes well ( Read more... )

Finishing up my deadline material for work, which is going well. It kinda sucks that the majority of my free time during the week happens during the second half. It makes for some really rushed time ( Read more... )
