Midnight Lucidity
Thursday, June 29th, 2006Just like pretty much everyone I know in the IT field, I have serious problems with my sleep patterns. Between college, my US Army service and my first job as a civilian I went without sleep for days at a time, and that sort of wrecked hell on my circadian rhythms. The funny thing about [...]

Happy Mornings
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006This is the creepiest thing ever. As a caffeine addict, this really worries me: Make sure you watch the whole damn thing. Then try to figure out how the hell you are going to sleep tonight. Technorati Tags: amusing, caffeine
Summer Starts Today
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006Summer Solstice 2005, Stonehenge Originally uploaded 21 Jun ’06, 8.00am EDT PST by pvera. It was obviously not hot enough over the past week, since we had not even reached the Summer Solstice. The picture is from the Summer Solstice celebration in Stonehenge in 2005, which is considered rare since it was the first time [...]
Programming positions needed
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006We are currently looking for two programmers: 1. This post is with my company, doing the same kind of work that I do: We are a boutique consulting company that develops and supports complex custom web applications for a diverse client base of government agencies, Fortune-500 companies, small businesses, and non-profit organizations. Our projects vary [...]
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Saturday, June 17th, 2006Short review: this one falls under the “not half the piece of shit I expected it to be” category. It was not *that* bad. Plot? None. Good guy, bad guy, hot girl. Good guy (the label is questionable, since he is a hell-raiser) digs the hot girl. The hot girl is the bad guy’s (who [...]
Exit Stage Left
Friday, June 16th, 2006Bill Gates, one of the brains behind the coup d’etat that spelled out the beginning of the end of IBM’s dominance of the personal computer arena, has announced that he will begin a gradual phase out of his day-to-day responsibilities at Microsoft so he can spend more time giving away the billions that he has [...]
APOD goes to Eleven
Friday, June 16th, 2006One of the coolest frickin web sites you will ever visit is now eleven years old. Not only is it one of the top .01% sites in just plain damn cool content, but they do it with purely G-rated (hell, they probably rate milder than the frickin Teletubbies) content. The site is APOD, NASA’s Astronomy [...]
Google offers Flickr competitor
Friday, June 16th, 2006KF just told me about Picasa Web Albums, a new service released by Google labs. It is obvious that this is a Flickr competition attempt, but it falls short because: 1. Caps are stupid 2. Caps are stupid. 3. The got a Linux client out before a Mac client. Stupid. 4. The caps for paid [...]
