    When I left work this evening, around 4:30 PM, I stepped outside into unusually warm sixty-one degree weather. There was the faint smell of spring in the air. I didn’t even need to button up my jacket. It looks as though the temperatures are going to remain mild for the rest of the week, with…

  • Success on a tough problem!

    09 Jan 2006 » 1 min read

    I’ve been working on a tough database problem at work that involves triggers and recursive activity for a software system we’re building. I’ve been in the design phase for a few weeks now and today was the first day that I started on the actual coding. I’ve been “heads-down” in code all day, since getting…

  • The frustration of false information (Or: searching for song lyrics)

    09 Jan 2006 » 2 min read

    There is a great song in the middle of Episode 12 (“Isabella”) of the Sopranos. It’s the scene where Tony Soprano goes out to buy a paper and some juice and nearly gets shot and killed by the two guys paid to kill him. I had the tune of the song in my head, but…

  • Fragmented weekend

    08 Jan 2006 » 1 min read

    This has been one of those fragmented weekends where I am trying to do three different things and not doing any of them very well. I’ve been watching episodes of The Sopranos. I’ve seen all of them more than once already, but for some reason, felt the urge to watch them all again. Perhaps because…

  • Another good writing session

    08 Jan 2006 » 1 min read

    I sat down at 10 PM to do more writing on “The Graveyard Shift”. I rewrote the second section of the story and it’s much better now. It was a more or less complete rewrite and I did about 1,500 words. I’m also going to rewrite the first section but not right away. I’m experimenting…
