Various Items

First…no baby yet…. Here’s an interesting article on Reason about Rick Santorum’s stoopid remarks about homosexuality. I had tried to write several entries about his ramblings, but I just could never get my feelings down. Anyway…Cathy Young does a good job pointing out the inherent problems of Santorum’s opinion from the side of privacy. I […]

Baby? No Baby….

Yup, that’s right. Still waiting….. Work has slowed down a bit after a solid week of coding. We’ve been given the ok to redesign the system (it’s a mess of spaghetti code right now), so I spent the day thinking about data structures and the object that love them.

I’ve been handed a ton of interesting responsibilities, included setting up a server for hosting one of the applications. Good stuff. Tomorrow will be spent migrating Turbine applications from version 2.1 to 2.2, […]
