Well, after working most of the weekend on last minute issues with the software rollout for software we’ve been developing for two years, things have settled down a bit. All of the major issues are fixed or under control. I can finally get some rest and get caught up on other things. I watched Crash…
Up at 4:30 AM after not getting to bed until midnight because of the bug fix and because I was in a meeting to test the fix until about 11 PM. I kept dozing off on the train into work this morning which is unusual for me. But I got to the gym just before…
[This workout was done yesterday, but I didn’t have time to get my blog updated last night.] I ended up having to work from home yesterday because of last minute issues found with database locking just hours before rolluot of software that we’ve been working on for 2 years. I fixed the problem, but I…
I was browsing myspace when I woke up this morning and decided to put in the names of some people that I haven’t seen in a long time. I put in 4 or 5 names and none had any matches. Then I put in the name “brent zoba” and got a hit. It’s 34 year-old…
I had to spend a few hours fixing some code for the rollout that is in progress this weekend (I won’t bore you with the technical details, which involve database cursors, asynchronous operations, and pessimistic locking) but I finished that up and once again returned to my high school year book to read what everyone…

I got involved in my spring cleaning and lost track of time. Out of one small closet I have already tossed 4 large bags of stuff that probably should have been tossed years ago, but some things you just hold on to until you’re ready to get rid of it. Lots of pictures that I…
Okay, I simply cannot resist posting here what strausmouse wrote in my year book because when I read it just now for the first time in 17 years, it had me laughing so hard I was nearly in tears. So, without further preface or delay, here’s what Eric had to say: There once was this…
I came across my high school year book while doing my spring cleaning. It’s one of the things that I decided not to get rid of and, in fact, I got side-tracked skimming through it, reading what people wrote and looking at pictures. Hilarious pictures. Riotous pictures. Keep in mind, this was nearly 17 years…
Okay, so technically, we are still several weeks from spring, but I woke up this morning feeling like a wanted to make a substantial dent in some spring cleaning that have been putting off for a few years now. I have a closet full of stuff in the guest room that is just waiting for…
