So it seems my RSI is really acting up, which should’t be surprising since I’m in a much different work environment and spending more time working from a laptop. It was pretty bad last week, with tingling up and down my left arm, especially in my elbow. A massuese friend of mine gave [...]
Yesterday I called Principal Financial for a question on a 401K I have held there. So far I’ve been pleasantly surprised with their customer service, as pretty much every other bank I’ve dealt with as had substandard service and horrible hold times. Well yesterday Principal blew me away. I went through the [...]
Been doing a lot of PHP in anger the past two weeks. Its not the cleanest language, but you can definitely get stuff done quickly with it. I’ve been getting used to the Wordpress source, and lots of plugins and hacks built on top of it. Its pretty much at the oppositie [...]
This morning gave me a rare oppurtunity to catch up on feeds and do some random surfing. The new job has meant way less time for pointless surfing, which is mostly a good thing but also means I don’t get to find gems like these:
Danah Boyd, who is well known for her research on [...]
I’m off on a short family trip to North Carolina for a cousin-in-law’s wedding. We will find out how our three year old son does in the car for about fifteen hours. We are taking the pain of the many hours over the pain of public embarrassment in a airplane. Plus, [...]
So we are up and running for Seeking Alpha, so I’ve been getting to know the MacBook and loving it. The speed and stability is awesome, so far I really haven’t had to wait longer then a few seconds for just about anything to process, with the exception of an install off CD. [...]
I’m moderating comments now until I get some spam plugins installed, the spam bots are getting worse (ie smarter). Sorry about that…I’ll approve anything civil and not spam, of course.
Since I’ve been telling people my new job will be from home, I’ve had this exchange far too often:
Me: So I’ll be working out of my home office, the company is all virtual…
JoeSchmoe: Oh, so will you be watching your son during the day, then??
Me: What?? No, I’ll be working from home…
Is there something about [...]
This Friday is my last day doing Java work for what will probably be a long time. I’m leaving Smart Solutions and the Java Enterprise world to join Seeking Alpha, a financial blog network. I’ll be joining Dion and Jim, who are both Madison residents, so although everyone is home office based we’ll [...]
Last night my father-in-law and I did some concrete work in the basement. He had done some plumbing work for us a while back, since he is great with all sorts of handiwork that I’m not good at. So we had some trenches to fill up and patch with concrete.
I’ve never done concrete [...]
