Nice holiday weekend

Monday, November 27th, 2006

The Thanksgiving holiday was quite uneventful and most enjoyable. I did have to work on Friday but it was a very quiet day since a lot of people tend to take the day off and go shopping. My only contact with those maniacs was seeing a line outside of the Circuit City near the highway […]

Podcasts, turkey, Edgy and Jokosher - not in any particular order

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I’ve decided to modify my podcast list. I decided to delete TWIT and diggnation and added Source trunk. IMHO TWIT and diggnation have become progressively worse as of late.

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Ok, I’ve had a few days to think about this whole Novell/Microsoft agreement. Everyone’s first reaction was WTF!, are they insane?
