I finally got around to taking Xander to another baseball game this past Sunday. It’s been a while since I had attempted something like this and was essentially another failure. Luckily for me, I took as many people as I could fit into the van to take turns chasing him. Plus, there were very few [...]

Lately, I’ve been pretty bored with disc golf. I still like playing new courses but for the most part my weekly game has become more of a chore than fun. Adding to that, I found out today that one of the guys in my weekly game is down for the rest of the year with [...]

I finally got around to upgrading to the latest version of IDEA. I need to use Eclipse some to see if they’ve caught up. Honestly, if IDEA had existed several years ago then I might still be a fulltime java developer.

A new Battlestar Galactica! Last weeks episode was pretty good. They got back to the Starbuck storyline which they ignored the week before so that was cool. The first season seemed better to me than season 2 has so far… not sure wht though. I’m gonna check out that new show Weeds this weekend too. [...]

I got an email yesterday from the trijug saying that Andy Hunt of the pragmatic programmers was giving a presentation at their monthly meeting last night. It got me a little depressed since I live in developer hell aka upstate sc.
His talk was on learning… how we acquire new skills. Him and Dave Thomas [...]

I’ve been using Backpack lately and I must say that I really like it. Very slick. I wish I had a project to work on to try Basecamp. Man, that looks awesome. Both of these apps are written in Ruby on Rails which is supposed to be the big php killer. Note to self: learn [...]

Audioscrobbler.com went down this past weekend and reintroduced itself today as last.fm. I’ve sorta used audioscrobbler’s winamp plugin to track songs for a few months now. I mostly listen to podcasts at work now though but it’s still cool to see what other artists people are listening to that might be listening to similar stuff [...]

Another week, another choke at the end of a round of disc golf. To be fair, I actually fell apart on 16 when I had a one stroke lead but Dwayne blew an easy putt. He grabbed a share of the lead on 17 and won it on 18. I played pretty well until 16 [...]
