Note: this workout took place yesterday. I’m just a little slow in getting it up-to-date here. Bernard had left me a message on Monday to see if I might be able to do my workout one hour later on Tuesday (5 PM rather than 4 PM). Ordinarily, I would, but yesterday I couldn’t because I…
I am working on an application prototype, that will eventually evolve into a full blown application that allows the tracking of projects through their life-cycle (beginning with the funding and through the closing of the project). As part of this, I have outlined an API of about 50 stored procedures that provide the database functionality…
For the next week or so, while construction goes on in the ceiling above my office, I am sitting in a temporary office. It is never quite the same as what you are used to. I just got my dual-monitor configuration setup. But it’s not my keyboard and it feels different. It’s not my mouse.…
All day long, I was looking forward to watching the new episode of House. It just dawned on me that I forgot to watch it tonight. It completely slipped my mind. I was too engrossed in the Yankees game! To quote thepopeswife, “Uff-da!”
Some miscellaneous items from today, before I head off to bed: I finally got around to looking through the Rome and Florance pictures from vickyandnorm‘s trip to Italy. Some of that art looked awfully familiar. I felt as though I was having flashbacks to 11th grade art history. “The Rape of the Sabine Women”…? And…
By the time I got home from work, I had convinced myself not to vote. For one thing, I haven’t been following local politics lately. It bores me to death. For another, I don’t know what is going on with the Democratic party. The Republicans are what everyone expects Republicans to be, have moved in…
I didn’t nap during lunch today, as I usually do. I read Brainiac straight through and only stopped now because I need a few minutes to get up to my 1 PM meeting. I’ve thought about taking the book with me to the meeting as I will get much more out of the book than…
Ken Jennings‘ first book, Brainiac, was released today, and you can be sure that I was standing in front of my local Borders bookstore before the gates opened at 10 AM. (They actually didn’t open the gates until 10:05 AM.) They didn’t have the book. I couldn’t believe it! I was annoyed beyond description. They…
Thanks to kevnyc and strausmouse, I found myself cracking up on the Metro this morning while I came into work. Last week I’d been talking about how I wanted to pick up some more punk for my music collection. Kevin and Eric both made some recommendation, in particular, Social Distortion’s self-titled album. But they both…
I think that I am going to give up on The Wanderer today. I’m not sure what I’ll read between now and tomorrow. Maybe it would be a good time to get caught up on some of my backlog of magazines. But tomorrow, when the bookstore opens, I’m heading in to buy Ken Jenning’s first…
