Happy Halloween!

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Killy dressed up as a cowboy tonight — very cute! We went to the few houses on our street that had their lights on and finally introduced ourselves to our neighbors (about 17 months late!). Killy had a great time once he figured out that every time somebody opened the door they cooed over him […]

mysterious reboots

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

This is really starting to piss me off. My computer will just spontaneously reboot itself. I don’t know what it is! It actually hasn’t done it in a few days, but it’s started again and did it twice today. The odd thing is that it always happens when I’m not using the computer. I’ve never […]

Pumpkin Patch and Party

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

Killy is so cute. We took him out to the pumpkin patch today, wearing his Cowboy halloween costume. He had a little trouble adjusting to his new boots (they’re his first hard-sole shoes), and on top of that he was walking around in a field full of vines — but he had a great time […]

concentration

Friday, October 28th, 2005

This is a re-hash of a comment I posted on Creating Passionate Users. The subject was, what is one thing you can do in a certain situation that could improve it. The always insightful Kathy made some excellence comments in her original post on things like Brainstorming and Creativity. One of my pet peeves […]

Friday links: Games with Nature

Blow-by-Blow Animation A truly spectacular animation of the Atlantic basin hurricanes this year.
Gravity: The Game An interesting idea for a game — fire an atom into an increasingly complicated gravity field and try to last as long as possible without getting sucked into a gravity source. Strangely fun!
Yesteryear’s Toys A list of the Top 100 […]

LAME response!

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Remember that book on ASP.NET “with Visual C# .NET 2003″ that wasn’t really with Visual C#? I sent the publisher an email and got a lame response. It boils down to, “We didn’t mention Visual C# in the description on the back, so we’re not sure why you’re confused.”
Well, you didn’t have to mention Visual […]

flv !=> mov

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Ok, it seems to be basically impossible to convert a .flv (flash movie) into anything else. Problem: client lost source CDs, and needs videos for use in another project. I only have the .flv files that were created.
I’ve tried just about everything. Flash won’t export quicktime. Flash *will* export AVI, but there won’t be any […]

Err, oops. But it’s still your fault.

Ok, things are going to be real interesting work-wise over the next five days!
