Halloween @ Work

Friday, October 29th, 2004

As is custom in many workplaces, today was a day of costume and creativity. Our campus was comprised of a number of people dressed-up in all manners. There was also a cube-decorating contest within each of our buildings. Being both a contractor and in temporary space, my team and I did nothing [...]

Work @ 7:00am

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

It turns out I like being at work earlier than everyone else. For one, it’s quiet - somber even. For another, it’s still dark outside. I much prefer getting started in the morning in the dark. It’s easier on the eyes, It’s not chilly this morning as I had hoped, [...]

W2K Services :: Wiki’d?

I really need to find a resource to learn about Windows 2003’s
services.  Is it too much to ask to get something beyond the
definitions inferred from the description of a given service? 
There is some great information out there related to the services, but
I need more!  This time, I’m keen to discover the hidden [...]

webdev|Live!

Monday, October 25th, 2004

So I’m working on a new project called, “webdev|Live!” The idea is that a group of web developers get together and blog the unfolding saga of web design. The process, when followed to completion, should render a sort of instant whitepaper. I’m hoping it pans out, but for now it’s just useful [...]

Geeks Gone Wild!

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

There is something magical about love and procreation. There is also something hideously lewd about the abomination of it. I should have titled this: “Resistance is Nubile.” Follow the link to destroy your innocence…
Circuits Discover… Each Other

Ex-Con’s Seen in Bar

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

Today, there are at least four people that wish they had stayed in bed this morning. Three of them probably wished they were dead too. 5:00am came earlier than normal this morning when my alarm (cell phone) jolted me out of my comfortability. Last night, I joined three friends at Wild Wing [...]

Master Chief

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

We have Master Chief from Halo floating around the team area at work. He’s brilliantly posable, but alas, I don’t believe they’re for sale. This model is apparently supposed to be a marketing model (paraphernalia). Nonetheless, we’re anticipating seeing more of him with the release of Halo 2 soon.

Racquetball Physics

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

I had an argument going with the edge of my racquet (notably dumber than me). My stance was that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The racquet stood firm that it could hit me regardless of theoretical physics. My logic failed when I didn’t think to consider the variable, a [...]

GMail Users - Exploit that GB

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

GMail Drive 1.02

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy [...]

Year-Old Birthdays

Monday, October 18th, 2004

1yr. birthday parties are fun, despite what you might think about them. They’re more for family and friends than for the babies, of course. As such, it’s a good time to go and see your friends with their babies and catch up on whatever you haven’t caught up on lately. For me, [...]
