Another night of hax0ring, with not as much progress as I’d like, again. This time though it was mostly distraction as opposed to actual problems getting in the way. I did finish up the DAO for the Notes, and note creation and updating is working correctly. I’m having a little problem with auto-populating the TIMESTAMPRead More

Weekblog: Day 3 – The JDBC Whubbidah huh?
Today, durnit, I was going to get some work done. I specifically scheduled time after $dayjob to spend working on CONGO v2, and ya know what? I actually did it! Tonight’s joy was parking at the Panera in Marlborough, plugging in the iPhone for music, and getting down to coding. With the network being twitchyRead More
Weekblog: Day 2 – or ‘That didn’t go as planned’
As the title says, yesterday hardly went as planned, as evidenced by me just getting around to posting at 9:30 this morning. The Geekery. It is everywhere! First, the day was full of IT-related geekiness, trying to get SASL authentication working on the the mail gateway for the Greater Homeport Server Cluster. What should haveRead More
Weekblog: Day 1
I didn’t get as far as I had hoped to tonight, due to a variety of distractions – it was an impressive list of “things that get in the way of previous plans” (Work actually had work for me to do, then a stop by the Mosaic work site to check on some supplies, thenRead More
Weekblog: Day 0
Just quick update on this. Last night I did get some coding time in after blog-posting. The fix this time was a problem with Create Registrant that was throwing SQL errors all over the place. Turns out I never actually completed writing the DAO for the Registrant data object, and the create() method was brokenRead More
A WeekBlog – A Post a Day – CONGOv2
So this week I’m faced with a situation I haven’t had in front of me in, well, as long as I’ve been married… at least as long as I’ve had kids in my life. This week Cat is up in Maine with Zach. I have my normal work going on during the day, but noRead More
So… shiny…
So, 3 days I’ve had my iPhone now, and I tell ya, it’s hard to put down. So hard I’ve had a hard time finding time to write to the blog about how much I’m enjoying it. Here’s a couple highlights of my first, realistically, 2.25 days with the phone. It’s a black 16gig iPhoneRead More
iPhone over Palm – It has it’s faults, but…
It looks like Cat and I will be getting iPhones. The decision to jump away from PalmOS was pretty much made for my by Palm’s inability to innovate. That article was posted in August, 2007. In response, Ed Colligan, the CEO of Palm, responds with platitudes and vague promises: Let’s remember that it is veryRead More
Orson Scott Card – Totally Nucking Futs.
I usually give authors some leeway in their personal lives and opinions. I mean, particularly SF authors are an odd lot, and entitled to their quirks. I had heard that OSC had some pretty off the wall opinions regarding gay marriage and the like, but this latest rant, published in the July 24th, 2008 “MormonRead More
A Way to Kill Some Time – Fantastic Contraption
I don’t recommend going over to FantasticContraption.com unless you have a couple hours you’d care to dispose of. It’s a puzzle game of sorts, where you can build simple machines consisting of wheels and sticks, then set the machine in motion to accomplish a task. Once the machine starts going, there’s no touching it untilRead More
