As if you hadn’t heard

has been released. It came out yesterday. If you haven’t downloaded it. do so. it’s nice. You may want to check your extensions first, see if they’ll still work in 1.5, several of the ones I use aren’t yet compatible with 1.5. I’m patient, I’m sure they’ll be ported in short order. The thing I [...]

The Airport

Arriving at the airport is always the easiest part: Quick drop off, little to no people interaction. It usually goes very very awry just after that. Check In Check ins keep getting easier and easier, thanks to technology. The Electronic ticket machine is my best friend, most machines are actually, so much easier to deal [...]

Time Management SQL Script

Hope everyone had a good Turkey Day. I finished the SQL for the TMC. Creates the tables and stored procs and creates an admin user. Don’t be shy to ask questions. Link to file.

Flex Project… Go!!

I was talking to a friend and he was saying he’s starting a flex project of his own. Get a more concrete grasp on the technology. Makes sense to me. While I wait for Roundpeg to land some Flex work I can do I figure I should experiment on my own. So starting next week [...]

Reunion time Bay-bee!!

Skype

SF wrap up

Flex training was great. I have a much clearer understanding of the technology and different aspects of using it. Rob Rusher is a great teacher of this course. Saw a few sites, we went to the Coit Tower one night. THe group from class was supposed to go out Salsa dancing with Rob, but I [...]

San Francisco, Day 3

Nicole and I are in SF this week. She’s working remotely, I’m attending som Flex training at Roundpeg. We flew in saturday morning, drove from San Jose to SF. Not overly impressed with the lands between the two cities. We arrived in SF and worked on finding the hotel. I hate renting cars, but Hertz [...]

And that’s why Starbucks/T-Mobile suck

I work from home, which rocks! I can work in my underwear if the mood strikes, it hasn’t… yet. Sometimes I like to get out of the house and work someplace else. Cabin fever is real people!!! It’s not people (that would be Soylent Green) , but it is real. I wanted to get the [...]
