Most of the time I really enjoy being isolated from the end client. I speak only with a (usually) knowledgable project manager. But sometimes there are big communications problems. And more often, there are delays. What I really don’t like is when my client is under a tight deadline with their client, and even though […]
Bite Your Tongue! Or have this bug do it for you. Scientists have found a bug that latches itself to a fish’s tongue, and eats it slowly, bit by bit, until there is nothing left but a stub. It then anchors itself to the stub and becomes the fish’s “replacement tongue.” Wow.

The hard drive on my laptop has been extremely flaky lately. I have heard the “click of death” a couple of times. NOT GOOD! I finally have another hard drive for it, but it’s taking soooooo long to clone my original hard drive, because my new one has to be connected via USB port — […]

Everyone’s heard the speculation that (human effected) global warming is causing a higher percentage of hurricanes to reach higher power.

I was thinking last night about when it was that I really considered my business to be a business. What is it for most people?

I had an interesting thought today — that I wonder why I hadn’t thought of it before. Granted, I don’t buy many movies, and I buy pretty much zero audio cds. But this still strikes me as very, very wrong. Think about this:
New DVDs, barring special releases, generally run at about $20, right? About new […]

Have you ever been so busy, yet had some sort of really frustrating day where you couldn’t get much done, that you would up with a monster headache just from the frustration? And then, when you do finally have time to work, the headache is too much, and you can’t even concentrate?
To top it off, […]

I would have called today boring if it hadn’t been so frustrating. Boring because the project I’ve been working on is one of the least interesting projects I’ve dealt with in a while. But it’s had more than its share of frustrations as well. Yuck.
I did have some enjoyable moments this morning while I was […]
