Last night, before dozing off, I was scanning blogs and came across an interesting looking reading list of books. It had a domain name of something like bestmustreadbooksever.com or something like that. I made a mental note to remember it because I wanted to compare it to my own list to see how many of…
Those were the watchwords of my day at work today. One of the projects on which I am working involves integrating two systems that don’t talk to each other. One system is an off-the-shelf meeting room reservation system; the other product is a tasking application–a helpdesk trouble ticket system. Integration went pretty well, until a…
One more session and I will be done with the first draft. I did about 2,000 words tonight, putting the story right at 15,000 words. I figure another 1,500 or so will finish it up, at least of the first draft. I reached the climax tonight, but I had to stop in the middle of…

I woke up from a bad dream about 45 minutes ago, laughed it off, got some juice to drink, and now I can’t seem to get back to sleep. I’ve got to get up in 3-1/2 hours. Go figure.
I finally did it. My goal all along has been to gradually work up to a total of 90 pushups a night, spread over three sets of 40/30/20. I just completed a full compliment of all three sets for the first time tonight. And you know what, it felt pretty good. Here on out it’s…
